TLC707 and Dragonfly journeys challenge

I did this card for the Technique Lovers Challenge on SCS today and also for the paper piecing challenge over at https://dragonflyjourneys.blogspot.com/

Coral is one of my very favorite colors and I loved these new design papers in a 6 by 6 pad I found at Tuesday Morning. It matched perfectly with this old cameo coral I have had in my stash a number of years. I added some speckles with an old SU itty bitty background stamp with versamrk ink and covered them with gold embossing powder. The lovely girl image is of course from Unity, and the Dream is a diecut. I added a few sequins just for a little extra sparkle, as dreams should include all the glitter and pazazz it can so we can shoot for the stars, right??

CCEE1804 Show us your favorite technique

I  am ending my hosting for this month with  a fun and easy challenge to end January. The challenge is to show us your favorite technique in cardmaking. Maybe it is embossing, fancy folds, paper piecing, multilayered stamping, paper piercing, collage, etc. We will enjoy seeing what you have to offer in fun techniques.

You can join in by linking to Mr. Linky over on the CCEEStampers blogsite HERE and if you post
over on SCS please use the CCEE1804 as the keyword.

I used an old SU stamp to stamp the small squares and dots onto the side of my card. I stamped the Unity girl on the right side of the card, and then stamped the Unity girl onto printed design paper. Then I cut it out and added it to the image. Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques and it seems like I am playing paper dolls when I paper piece with these wonderful images from Unity.

RED, plaids, and stripes

I just love Unity girl stamps. I did some paper piecing on this and it is as fun as making paper dolls as a child. The challenge for the Unity challenge this time was to use plaids and stripes. I also am using this for the The Little Red Wagon challenge to use red. I love using red especially at Christmas and Valentines' Day. So, this is a Christmas card to add to my stash so that I will be ready to mail those cards out early and will have time for other things during the season instead of frantically getting cards made at the last minute. In fact this year I try to make at least one or two Christmas cards for some of the weekly challenges I do all year round.

Mod Squad Paper Piecing challenge

Paper Piecing is one of my all time favorite techniques and I find it so fun to piece the cool outfit for this pretty lady from Unity Stamps.  While checking out the weekly challenge for Mod Squad, I was so happy to see it is paper piecing. It was fun finding some woodgrain for the guitar even. You can check out this week's challenge over at Mod Squad Challenge.

Allsorts Challenge #401 Paper piecing

I made this for the paper piecing challenge being held over on the Allsorts challenge blog. Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques. I used 2 kinds of design paper for this digital stamp from Power Poppy. I cut out the leaves and glued them over the print I did on the pink design paper.  I had first intended to cut the tulips out as well, but I really liked the pink background, so then I just added some shading to the tulips with one of my pink copic markers. The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy (I think).

C4C197 and Little Red Wagon challenge

Don't you just love it when there are two challenges that are the same for the same week?
So this card is for the Crazy for Challenges 197  and The Little Red Wagon challenge #197. I seem to see a pattern here. This stamp is a little more tedious than the ones I usually use for paper piecing, but I thought this image was so cute from Graphics 45. The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy stamps. 
My state of Texas has been suffering a drought the past couple of summers, and there is some rain in the weekend forecast for some parts of Texas, so let this little sentiment be my little prayer to those of you that are still in the driest parts of Texas.
