 Hello~

Today's card staring Gladys, the Flamingo from Sizzix's line of colorize thinlets took me again hours to to put together.  Still getting used to where all is.  She is visiting  Triple B's July challenge.

 

 

 I have to say I was not overly thrilled with all the bits and pieces in this die.

I thought it was delightful that not only was the die reference number etched on the back but color selections were as well. The suggestions were pink1, pink2, pink3, black, brown and yellows 1 & 2.

I also appreciate the clean edges on the dies. Nothing to cut apart and leave little pointy pokey bits. 

 I used copics to color all the bits except for the black pieces. 

• Stamps:MFT Brush Spatter BG; PB Special Sentiments
• Dies:Gladys-Sizzix; SU Tasteful Labels; SU Scalloped Contours
• Inks: SU Strawberry Slush, Versafine Black
• Markers: Copic Y2,6; R20,21,32; E37
• Papers:  Hammemrmill, SU Strawberry Slush
• Embellishments: SU Starburst Sequins

 Thanks much for visiting.

 Greetings:

I have a card for three challenges. Can you Handle the Pressure, Seize the Birthday, The Male Room Challenge. 

These are all bits from my box of stuff.  My SU demonstrator always sends samples of the new color cardstock and impressions of the new embossing folders.  I have saved these for years.  She will also send samples of punches.  So in my box of goodies I found a punched piece and an embossed piece.  I sorted through my stamps for the sentiment. 

 The pup is mounted on foam tape, and I used the wide sentiment strip to give him some grounding.

       

Supplies are below; Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. 

• Stamps: MFT Woof Pack
• Punch: SU Scotty Dog
• Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black
• Papers: Hammermill, SU Lovely Lipstick, SU Night of Navy, SU Basic Black
• Embossing: Wrapped in Texture
• Embellishments: SU gems

Hello-

I am behind already...and I just got back to making cards.  A new stamp set seemed a good one for masculine birthday cards.  My Godson and Nephew both have July birthdays.  

 The stamp and dies are from Stampin Up. Bistro Burger. colored with copics.  I intended to make two similar cards.  This is the second one.  The first one some how landed on top of an opened ink pad.  It then was reworked to this version:

 Most every oops is an opportunity to unleash some creativity...right? LOL.   I am sending one of them over to AAA Birthday, the theme is summer birthday. And for me nothing says summer like a great grilled burger.  

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello-  a  bit of late night crafting.

Those blues got me, I had to play along with Just Add Ink.

The blues were so inviting in this photo.  I also saw the rug as having some lighter areas.  I picked out an SU Card Base that has stripes and some splotches of what could have been bleach to lighten the pattern. It reminded me of the rug in the photo.   I am still having fun with the corner sentiment and wanted just a cute bit in the center with the birthday wish.
