OSAAT #185 Winter Wonderland~ Tis the Season

Good Morning

Alaska is in the drench mode of raining, it must of rain all night........ the day I left the weather it was dry......LOL do you happen to remember that phrase?  If not you can find the whole song here

Just a folk song that you would of learned as a kid.

I'm playing again over at One Stitch At A Time Challenge and our  theme this week is "Winter Wonderland" please see the blog for all the details

I had the pleasure to use a digital image from Delicious Doodles called Lycaonia, I really loved working with this image and you can find it at StitchBear Digi Outlet here!  

So I masked the image and stamped trees (Stampscape which are wonderful scene stamps) for the background, then I tried the Frantage technique with what I had in my stash on the designer paper edges for the sparkle and shine.

Father's Day Theme ..........CGI Challenges

Hello again, I'm sharing my card with you for the Challenge at Come and Get It.  This week Julie picked the theme as "Father's Day" I used a retired set called "Set Sail" from SU for the main image, background, anchor and compass image is from the Summer Mini Catalog called "The Open Sea"

I just love this image with all the little extras around the edges it was colored with copic markers and I dry brushed the gray/blue in the clouds and lightly sponged blue for the sky then distressed the edges with vintage photo ink.  I've added my card for a few challenges at TSM, and CforallSeasons

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Faux Linen with flowers.....CGI Challenge

Well I thought I'd try making another of the Faux Linen cards using a SU wheel called "Very Vintage".....I love the antique look of this wheel.  I experimented with this technique and stamped with the wheel and then sponged vintage photo distress ink then sanded my paper, cleaned the dust off.   I took very light SU marker to color in the floral part. 

My tulips were from an image swap that I painted with LuminArt'e shimmer paint pots.......love the little bit of sparkle it adds to the flowers.

Here you can actually see the strokes from being sanded, as most pieces it's really hard to see.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Come and Get It Challenge~Technique Week!

Good Day!  We have a another Challenge going on at "Come and Get It" and it's my week for the featured Technique.  I chose to have you all try the Bandanna Technique, you'll find instructions to try it out and it's really fun to do with awesome results......as you can see my finished card above!  I like to add my card to few other challenges at Just And Ink, SSCC and Moving Along with the Times

Here's a close-up of the sentiment, I tried a little different version of this technique using a dauber to give it a light shade of the green and then using Radiant Rains spray on top to finish for a sparkly effect, tho with the scan it only looks shiny. Did I tell you I really like sparkly things .....LOL   I'd love it if you'd come by and see all the rest of the Awesome cards from our Design Team Members and join in our Challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
