CASE-ing Christmas August 2015

We're back at CASE-ing Christmas with a new monthly challenge format!

but decided to go with blue tones to match

the Stickabilities snowflake stickers I bought

a little while back. The DP and gems I used are from Recollections

and the 2 ribbons I used have been i my stash for a while.

The sentiment stamps is from Hot Off the Press.

HOC August 2015

It's a new month so that means a new challenge at

House of Cards!

This time around we have a word cue for inspiration.

So lets see what comes to mind for you when you think "metallics".

For me it's metallic papers and gel pens

so this is what I came up with!

I love this "Cleopatra Portrait" image from

Sassy Studio Designs

and knew I had to use her for this challenge.

The image just screams blue and gold metallics!

Well, in my opinion anyway!!!

I printed "Clepoatra" on white card stock, colored her with

Fiskars metallic gel pens and Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.

The gold and blue metallic card stocks are from DCWV 

and my gems are from Recollections.

I hope you'll check out the inspiration from the rest

of the team all through the month and link up your own Metallic creation at

House of Cards!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

SSD at Creative Knockouts

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the new challenge at 

Creative Knockouts.

The theme is "Dry Embossing".

I used one of Lindsay's newest zodiac images for my creation.

"Cancer Portrait"

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers before fussy cutting
and popping on the embossed panel which was
created with a Darice embossing folder.
The DP and enamel dots are from Teresa Collins.
I stamped the sentiment a cut with a Taylored Expressions die.

I hope you'll check out this image and the others available in the store at
Sassy Studio Designs.

Jack the Pirate

Hey there everyone! Today I'm on the blog at

C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps

sharing a card I made using Charlene's newest stamp set.

Meet Jack!

I stamped Jack on white card stock with black ink and colored

with Spectrum Noir markers before fussy cutting.

I created the back ground with a pirate ship digital

image I found on the internet and colored with

Spectrum Noir markers. The treasure chest was also

found on the internet and colored with markers and gel pens

before fussy cutting. Jack was popped with foam dots.

I love the way it came out.

I hope you'll check out this stamp set along

with the others available at 

C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps.
