Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hey Bleeps! I hope you've had a better week than I have. I've been battling a bad UTI. And if you've had one before,than you know what I mean when I say, UGH....and double UGH! Good news is went to the ER and got some meds....thank the Lord for modern medicine ;)

 Anyways, I've been working on this project for awhile now.....and I was happy to see it fell into the challenge over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog. The challenge was to try something different. Well, I made my own box and matching cards. Also, the butterflies used the bleaching technique....which I know isn't very 'bleachy',LOL!!! I used a bleach pen ...thought it would be less messy.....which it was. Maybe it was because I used a aqua painter...even though I didn't water it down.....oh, well....I will practice more with this technique some more;)

Hey,I need some advice, I was thinking of putting these cards and matching box in my Etsy store. Do you think $15 or $20 for the set? I'm never good at pricing my own stuff!!! Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts!
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!!

OWH Challenge

Hello Bleeps(Blog Peeps!)
My card today is for two challenges over at Operation Write Home. I forgot to do the challenge for the easel card the other day,so this fits in with that challenge. Plus, this one is for the challenge for the "For the girls" challenge....this could be for a anniversary or miss you for a solider to his wife. I'm not the best colorer in the world,so to hide my flaws I sponged and embossed the image....hid them pretty well I think,LOL!!! I used two top note diecuts and cut them all in half so I could frame the image. I found out that you can make homemade popdots from your left over rubber you get from your SU! stamp sets. Pretty cool way when your desperate for some dimension but don't have anything ;)
Well,thanks for stopping by and have a fab day!!!!

Operation Write Home Sketch #30

Hello! Here is a card that I made for OWH Sketch challenge #30. Here is the sketch for us to use:

As you can see,I turned mine and also added the sentiment on top of the first layer's main image.....it was also a oval instead of a rectangle! My main image panel is just a tad bit larger as well.

This image (along with quite a lot more!)....was given to me a few months ago. A lady who buys my cards from time to time sent me a big box of unmounted rubber stamps. I gave most to my step daughter after mounting them with EZ Mount. But, I did keep about 7-10 images for myself!!! So ,I have no idea what company these come from!!! Well,here's the deets and thanks for stopping by!!! ;)

Christmas Challenge

Here is my card for another OWH Challenge,Christmas Cards! I'm not sure what's going on with the lighting in my photos. The card that's taken close up on a angle is more true to color.

OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge

Today on Operation Write Home they have a Midweek Throwdown Challenge!! This cute little pillow was our inspiration!!! I used the colors and one of the flowers as my inspiration!!!

 I immediately thought of  the 'Pretty Amazing' stamp set from SU! when I saw the two big flowers in red.

 

 

 

I did attempt to make my own background paper using different stamps; using flowers and the colors from the pillow....but I didn't like how it turned out,so I made this card. I used mainly the greens,pinks and the dark brown from the pillow and the one flower that's reddish pink on the corners of the pillow!! Well,here's the deets on the card...thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Here is a quick card I made using some of my new goodies from SU!

I really love that new embossing folder....it reminds me of canvas! Have a awesome day and thanks for stopping by!
