HMFMC203

This is for the House Mouse Monday Challenge #203 Bingo challenge. I used the yellow, ribbon, and flowers/leaves row. I used copic markers to color the image and used a diecut for the sentiment.

CCEE1537

What a week it has been! On Tuesday night I was trying to load this card to the CCEE blog for this week's challenge, and the photos would not download. It turned out I had a virus and my laptop had to spend a few days with the Geek Squad. What great guys and after 3 days, I finally got my laptop back. Here is the card that I could not load earlier.

I did it using my MISTI using this silhouette stamp from SNSS. I inked it with green ink, stamped it, then inked it  by adding the turquoise ink in a striped fashion using the edge of the ink pad. I used those teardrop mini ones from Memento. Then I added some hot pink and this was the results.
Pretty easy and fun. I got inspired by Lydia's MISTI Marble technique on SCS but decided to do a direct from pad kind of application of the ink rather than the glove she used for the marbling effect. I couldn't find a rubber glove around my house, so the adaption was a necessity.

CCEE city word play

I was having computers problems that needed to be resolved before I could get this downloaded on my blog. This for the challenge for the CCEEStampers this week.

This week Lois is our hostess and it is also her birthday. So first off, Happy Birthday, Lois!
Her challenge for us this week:

CCEE1536, Skyscraper Day

Lois here.  I'm the hostess for this month's CCEE challenges.  In addition to being my birthday today, it is also the birthday of Louis H. Sullivan (born Sept. 3, 1856), an architect credited with designing the first skyscraper.  Today's challenge is a Word Play challenge.  Include on your card something that starts with each of the letters in CITY.

My C is a compass on a circle, my I is ink, my T is twine and the tiny triagnles on the design paper, and my Y is yellow. 

CCEE1535 bows

Frances is again bringing you her last challenge for the month.

Apparently tomorrow is Bow Tie Day, so for our challenge this week let's include some sort of bow on our cards this week … it doesn't have to be a Bow Tie as long as it is a bow.

Please join us and link your card up using the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post. If you upload to another site such as Splitcoaststampers, please add CCEE1535 to your keywords.

Now let's  check out the cards our Design Team created for us this week.

I got a little wild and crazy with my creativity this week. I had a die to cut the bow, so I just hand cut all the rest of this card to come up with this little chef. The sentiment is from a retired Satmpin' Up set. His bugged eyes were made with white brads and I colored the black part with a sharpie!!  Tie one on with us and have as much fun as I did!!  Then link it over on the CCEEStampers blog here.

CCEE1534 Lemonade day

Frances back again as our hostess and  ... are you ready for another challenge?

According to the Days of the Year web site today is Lemonade Day …. Let's celebrate by creating cards that features lemonade in some way. If you don't have anything Lemon or lemon related feature some other kind of beverage.

Please join us and link your card up using the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post. If you upload to another site such as Splitcoaststampers, please add CCEE1534 to your keywords. Don't forget to check on the other designs our team members came up with for this cool challenge.

CCEE1533

Hi all,

 Frances is again bringing us another fun challenge. 

She says:

"This week we are creating Screen Divider Card - I have been meaning to make one of these style cards for some time now … so let us create one for today's challenge. Here is the link to the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. 

Please join us and link your card up using the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post. If you upload to another site such as Splitcoaststampers, please add CCEE1533 to your keywords.

Now let's  check out the Screen Divider Cards our Design Team created for us this week."

I made mine rather simple using some old Florishes images of a tulip and sweetpea. The scriputer stamp is from Stampablities (I think). The images were colored with Copic markers. I used a diecute to cutout the bottom.

CCEE1532

Frances is our new hostess for August. In honor of National Golf  Month, she has asked us to create a card that features some sort of sport, but of course, there are bonus points for a golf theme.  She also requested use of green somewhere on your card.


Come join in on the fun and link it to the CCEE Stampers blog linky found here. While you are there, check out the sporty cards made by the other team members.

I used kraft paper, Graphics 45 design paper, used a seasoned stamp from my collection and added the golf flag (my added green) and used my Itty Bitty stamp to make my green grass and also the speckles on the golf ball.
