Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #7

For the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #7 the requirement was to use the colors pink, brown and green. The pink and brown were no problem for me, but the green had me stuck. :) This is what I finally came up with:The image is a digital stamp from Modern Sugar Blvd (Doodler - I'm Here). I colored the image with Bic markers. I embossed the pink CS with a Sizzix flower folder. I can't remember the name of it, but I'm looking around. :) The sentiment is from the SU set "So Many Scallops". All the CS is from SU.

I was able to get a lot accomplished while my DS was napping yesterday. This challenge, my swap on SCS and a card for Post Pals. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes I am actually pretty productive. :)

Mad Hatter Card

I made this card for the Digital Tuesday Challenge this week. Non traditional folding or non traditional shaped cards.

Stamps: Wonderland (The Greeting Farm)
Cardtock: Black (HL), Purple (SU)
Accessories: Crystal (HL), White Gel Pen (Archiver's)

I just got this stamp set from TGF and I thought it would be great for the DTC. Since Ian is the mad hatter, a top hat card seemed perfect. I made the card shape using clip art that I traced onto cardstock. I had to tweak it quite a bit to get it to work for this project. I drew the white lines to highlight the card a little bit more. I colored the images with Bic markers. I drew/cut the flowers freehand and then distressed them.

Another challenge down and no end in sight! :)

Teacher Appreciation Challenge

Since my DS is only two I don't have the need for teacher gifts. But, that didn't stop me from entering the Digital Tuesday Challenge this week! Challenge #5 Thank a Teacher.

The challenge was to make a project for teacher appreciation week. I thought this would be a good opportunity to use my "Number Collage" embossing folder. I am trying to incorporate more embossing into my work. Mainly because I bought the Cuttlebug and I want to get my money's worth! :)

Since I don't really have any teacher themed stamps I decided to sketch out this little lightning bug. I thought he would fit the sentiment perfectly. I drew the lines around the yellow cardstock with a black marker. (Marvy) The fibers are from a $1.99 hot spot pack I got at Archiver's. I also wrote out the sentiment by hand. I don't know if you can tell, but I added a little sparkle to his wings with my glitter dust pen.

I don't know if I'll be able to work on anymore projects today, but at least I finished one challenge! :)
