Another Power Poppy June Bug Challenge card

I just love getting over into my downloads and finding these great Power Poppy Digital images. Since I found butterflies on some of the images I had, I decided to try another for the Power Poppy June Bug Challenge. These climbing clematis fit the bill. I googled images of clematis to check out what colors these grow. This bluish purple seem to be one variety. I used a Martha Stewart embossing folder and made this a window card, so the image is actually inside the card.

Power Poppy's June Bug Challenge

I loved Allison's challenge over on Power Poppy's blog for June.  I used the Pure Prairie digital from Power Poppy and the scripture is also a digi from Power Poppy. Because this is a digital, I was able to make it the size I wanted it to be. This is a great advantage over the vinyl or rubber stamps, which I make use of often. I made this a CAS and added an embossed edge just a a final touch to the empty side of the card. I love how the colors pop from the white.

Background challenge at Mod Squad

I have been having such fun the past few weeks experimenting with my Distress Oxide Inks from Ranger. I was thrilled to see self made backgrounds as the challenge this week on the Mod Squad challenge. I also made use of some new Unity stamps I ordered this week. I colored in the butterfly wings with Copic markers.

I was so excited to see that my card had made the top 3 over at Mod Squad's blog. Thanks for the mention. I loved doing this challenge.

Now let's see what the design team has created this week

I am misus any donut stamps, but since I am behind on my Christmas card goal I set for myself, I decided a wreath has a hole in it. So Christmas it is for me this month. I try to make at least 4 Christmas cards a month so that when December gets here, I have it done. 

I used an embossing folder then cut it out with a die, used some great Tim Holtz paper that I could sand off the color for a different effect. Here it is:

The Sisterhood of snarky stampers

I have been experimenting with my new Distress Oxide Inks and decided to add this flamingo that is new to my stamproom too. It was a purchase I made at my recent trip to Michael's . Stamps were on sale, enough said. I rememberd that the Sisterhood of snarky stampers had a beach theme this week, and I needed a thank you note to a friend that loves the beach.

I found another "pink" challenge today over on the House Mouse challenge so here is my card for it.
I colored the image with copic markers, I used pink lipstick  Distress Oxide ink for the pink embossed backgound, and added a few pink flowers just to get more pink on the page.
