Spectacular!

Monday means sketch challenge time at

From the Heart Stamps!

I did the sketch but not the twist this week.

 

I colored this cutie-pie Birdbrain with copics and used glossy accents on his glasses. 

The die cut glasses are from an Impression Obsession die. To give them more dimension I 

cut four of each color and glued them together. 

Here's a closer look so you can see what I mean:

Thanks for looking!

Hi!

Today I made a card to link to this weeks challenge 

at CAS(E) this Sketch.

 

Here's the sketch:

I used the images from a stamp set from DRS Designs and

the sentiment is from a stamp set from Poppystamps called No Truffle At All.

Colored with copics and sponged with distress ink ( antique Linen).

It's good to get an addition to the "guy" card stash!

Flying by

Welcome!

It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS.

This great code word was chosen by Jaydee.

 Create a Smile is the sponsor this time,

check them out Here.

 

There are lots of things that fly,

one of those is a kite.

 

I used a cloud stencil and distress ink to make the sky.

Here's the rest of the supplies I used:

Everything except, right at the last I used clear Wink of Stella to 

glitz up the kite a bit.

I hope you can find the time to join us on this challenge.

Thanks for looking.

'till next time.

Purple doodle flowers

Hello!

I wanted to share a card I made today.

 

I'm entering it in the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge

 

 

I was totally inspired to do these flowers by this card by Kelly Latevola:

You can check out her blog post HERE.

 

I've been having such fun with this doodle buds stamp from W plus 9. 

Check these out:

 

OK.. I may have gone a bit over board!

I hope you  have some fun today!

Summer Calories

Splatters

This week at the Less is More Blog

the challenge is to make a One Layer card

and the theme is Splatters.

So...here we go!

But first I need to tell you that I am Green, My desk top is green, 

even the monitor has some green splatters! 

I am truly dangerous with that spray bottle!!!

 

I don't think I'll even need to sign this card

 when I send it, they'll see 

all the lime green and know it's from me!

befor I go, a quick hint  about clean up...

for the green fingertips that the soap and water wouldn't touch, 

Whitening tooth paste did the trick!

'till next time,

Doni

still HOT!

Hi!

Monday brings a new sketch challenge from 

From The Heart Stamps.

 

 

This week I used the sketch without the twist.

For the three design elements in the upper left of the sketch, 

I sponged Red Barn Distress Ink and Wild Honey Distress Ink 

over a flame stencil from The Crafter's Workshop.

I did the same technique for the circle  around Birdbrain

( I masked him off first)

Hope you like him!

'till next time,
Doni

Circle inspiration

This is the card I created while playing along

with the Saturday Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

You can check out my Splitcoast gallery HERE.

I think this would look better if I would have stamped
a pretty drsign in some of the larger circles with one shade darker ink.
Maybe next time!
Here's what I did inside:

Thanks for looking!
Gee- two posts in one day!
I'm either on a roll or I really don't want to do any housework today!

Aloha

Welcome!

It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS.

 

Nothing says aloha like hula dancing.

 And nothing could be cuter than Birdbrain doing the Hula.

I started out by watercoloring  some backgrounds. 

...you wouldn't believe what a mess I can make!

 Anyhow, after they dried, I picked this background and printed the image

 where I wanted her and then ran it through the printer again to position the word Aloha.

Thank goodness I have an awesome light box which makes this pretty easy to do.

Then I printed the same image onto white cardstock and colored it with 

Copic markers, fussy cut her out and layered her onto the image that 

was printed over the watercolor splash. that way I didn't have to worry

 about cutting out those stick legs!

You can't see it in the picture, but her flowers and bead necklace sparkle!

I used clear Wink of Stella....love that stuff!

Be sure and stop by and say hello to our Guest Designer for this challenge .
Her name is Monika Reeck and you can find her blog HERE!

I look forward to seeing your entry into this Aloha challenge.

commenter  will be selected on each blog to win the featured image on that blog.

In addition to the images offered on each blog, one very lucky hopper will be able 

to work with Faith to create an idea for a specially made image.
 Just leave a comment on the FTHS Blog

You

Hello!

I'm playing along with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge.

The colors are: Kraft, Green and Cream.

 

I was looking through my printed paper stash and this cream colored paper 

caught my eye. The lines and the leaves were already there, so all I had to do was 

to add  a little color!

I made this card with my Grandaughter's in mind...I think they're both pretty amazing! 

The you is a die cut from Avery Elle.

For the sentiment I used a stamp set from W plus 9 called Unforgettable .

I combined two different sayings by masking off the parts I didn't want with

scotch tape, inking the stamp , removing the tape and then stamping.

Then doing the same steps with the second stamp, that way I got it to say exactly what I wanted.

Thanks for stopping by today.

'till next time,

Doni
