Sunny Days

Debbie is our hostess for the new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters. Her theme for this challenge is "Summer Vacation".

I would love to be on the beach soaking up some sun and relaxing as the waves roll in. I found these summer stickers in my stash and started creating my project.

 

Stampin' Up "Blue Bashful" card stock was layered onto a white card base.  I then tore a piece of light brown card stock and added it to the blue for the sand. The clouds were fussy cut and adhered with pop dots. I stamped the sentiment with black ink onto the largest cloud. Using my 2" Ek success scallop punch I created the sun using yellow gingham designer paper.

I can picture myself laying back on the lounge chair with a book in my hand and a nice tall glass of ice tea. Would you like to come along with me?

Now it's your turn to share your creations with us. Head on over to the Sisterhood and check out the inspiration projects by my sistahs, then enter your project. Limit of 3 entries per person.

Have a wonderful day.

Retirememt Journey

This month's challenge at the Stinkin' Inkers is:

"Trains, Planes and Automobiles"

For my project I chose to create a card using a retro car stamp from Hot Off The Press.

The car was stamped with Versafine Black ink, then colored with a red Studio 71 alcohol marker and fussy cut. White card stock was used to create the base of the card with a blue embossed panel by David Tutera as the background. I also used an embossed silver strip by David Tutera to showcase the car. The sentiments were stamped with the same ink and matted with red. Pop dots were used to create dimension on the car and two top sentiment panels.

Would road trips be a wonderful way to "Enjoy your retirement"?

There is still time to join in on the fun. Hop over to the Stinkin' Inkers challenge blog and check out the teams fabulous inspiration projects, then enter you own creation.

Hope to see you there.

Star Congrats

The new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters, hosted by Darlene, is

"Favorite Color"

My favorite color has always been blue. Any shade of blue. So for this challenge I wanted to make a card using different shades of blue with just a touch of white.

 

I used a star embossing folder to emboss the light blue panel and layered that onto a navy card stock base. I then used navy ink to stamp the image onto a light blue strip and adhered that to a navy blue strip and glued to the top of the card. After cutting 3 narrow strips of navy blue card stock, adhered them to the front of the card, cutting the extra that hung over the edges. Next I cut 3 medium white stars and added small navy blue stars to the center and glued the to the center strip. Then I cut 2 medium navy stars and added 2 light blue stars to the center and glued them under the narrow strips.

This would make a great graduation or retirement card. Especially for the guys.
