Unidentified Swap Image #33

Today is the day we get to reveal our creation for the challenge on SCS.  This image was selected by Linda.  I think I liked this image so well because I got to do lots of coloring.  This is a coloring stamp from Hampton Arts.

Thanks Linda for a great challenge.

Dueling Darlings

Here it is the 15th of the month which means it is time again for another Dueling Darlings Challenge.  This month Carol and Shelly came up with the theme.  The theme this month is "Outdoors".  This is right down my ally since my husband is a bag fisherman. The images are from Clear Dollar Stamps.

 And the inside of the card.

Be sure and check out what some of my team mates came up with.

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

Today is a fun theme for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Blog.  The theme is Round About.

I started out my card by cutting out several circles.  I used the Scalloped circle die to cut out the green.  This is such a beautiful die.  The flowers are both from the Flowers-Clear Stamp Set.  The sentiment and stamped image in the center is from the Circles Set - Sentiments.  I used Distress Ink around all of the edges of the images to give it an antique look.  What a fun card this turned out to be.  Be sure and check out the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps store because their inventory is amazing.  I am always finding things I must have in their store.  

PIP Challenge #1733

Time again for another challenge from Pammie' Inky Pinkie Challenges.  This week we are being sponsored by MHK Designs.  I am amazed at the talent that Mynn has in creating her wonderful digital stamps.  Love her designs.

For my card today I decided to use an image from her Butterfly Elements Digital Stamp set.

I colored the image with my copic markers.  The sentiment is from the same set.

So join us at PIP Challenges and as usual Anything Goes.

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

Today over at the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps blog, the theme is "Butterflies".   I started out thinking this will be an easy theme because Butterflies are just one of my favorite things.

I started out by first using my Butterfly Die and cutting out several butterflies.  I then stamped them using the buttterfly stamp from the Dragonflies 2 Clear Stamp Set.  I decided that I wanted to do a little different card so I cut out a piece of cardstock 5 1/2 inches x 4 1/4".  I folded it in half to make an A2 card and then trimmed off 2 inches of the card.  This made it look like the butterflies were flying.  What a fun card to make.  

Crafters of Faith

Today is the day to post for the Crafters of Faith Challenge group that I am in on Splitcoaststampers.  This group of wonderful Christian ladies have joined this group to use scripture in our inspiration for our project.

August is Lynn's month to serve as hostess of this challenge.  She has selected for her inspiration the  scripture James 1:17 --- Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. We have been encouraged to make a card that celebrates life's simple pleasures which bless our days with joy and beauty and meaning in the cards they create.  Too me life's little pleasures are the flowers we see outside every day.

So for my card I chose a floral set called In Bloom from Papertrey Ink.  I fussy cut the florals out and I stamped with Versamark Ink on the peach colored paper to give it a little background.  

PIP Challenge #1731

It's time again for another challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.  This week's challenge has a little twist to it.  The theme is Circles and is sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps.  She has the most adorable digital stamps.  You must go to her store and check it out. 

I chose to use one of Di's Digi Stamps called "Little Mouse". 

I decided to make a circle card since this was the theme this week.  I colored this adorable mouse and flowers with my copic markers and just started adding circle.  So fun.  Let's see your circles for this round.
