PIP Challenge #2441

Time again for another challenge from Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.   This week is being sponsored by

Sunbird Spark

Formerly Penguin Palace

There are so many fun digital images to pick from in their online store but I decided to use "Puddles of Fun" for my card today.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then cut it out with a circle die.  The fun designer papers are from Stampin Up called Rain or Shine.  I love this paper because of the rain drop background.  Thought it would work perfect for the card.  The puddle was also part of the stamp.  One of the things I like about Sunbird Spark (Penguin Palace) is that when you purchase the file you get a Bonus ready to print page where the sizes are already made for you to make an A2 card.  Sure makes it easy.  Just print and you are ready to color.

I hope you join us over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for a fun challenge this week.

PIP Challenge #2439

Time for Challenge #2439 over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.

The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

My Favorite Things.

It's a COLOR Theme

For my card today I took a few liberties with the colors to use.    I used the stamp set "Pick of the Patch" by My Favorite Things.

I stamped off the images and then colored them with my copic markers.  It was so fun to bring this stamp set to life.  I sponged the background and then started placing the little images on the card.

I hope to see you over at PIP Challenges and join us this week for this fun challenge.

Happy Fall

 The weather is getting cooler here in Kansas and fall is in the air.  This is my favorite time or year with all the crisp weather, fall festivals and beautiful colors of the trees.  Sue was our hostess this month in our Challenge your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  She challenged us to make a fall card using an embossing technique as a focal point of our card.

The stamp set I used was from Hero Arts Fall Fox.  I love foxes and thought this would be the perfect time to use this stamp set.  I colored the images with my copic markers and then started putting my card together.  The background is an oldie fall leaf embossing folder I used.  The designer papers are by Carta Bella "Welcome Autumn".  The leaves are from Cottage Cutz - Build a Grapevine Wreath.  I cut the scalloped circles out of the designer paper and started building my card.

Thanks to Sue for a great Challenge this month.

PIP Challange #2437

 

Today's challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Pattie's Creations.

                                                

For my card today I am using Snowman #1 image.  I am trying to get a jump on my Christmas cards and thought this image was so cute to use this week.

I printed the image off on my printer and then colored it with my copic markers. I used a scallop oval die to cut the image out.   I found some Christmas paper scraps and used them for my background.  The sentiment is from Pink Fresh Basic Banners Christmas.  I added a few gems I had in my stash on the red paper.

I made another card using the same image but made it larger to cover the whole card front.  This is what I like about digital images.  You can make them any size you want.

If you look at Pattie's blog, you will see a coupon code on the top right of the page for 30% off.  You can't beat this deal.  

I am entering this card in Pattie's challenge for the month.

Creative Crew September 2024

 Today is post day for our Creative Crew Group over on Splitcoaststampers.  I have had my card done for several weeks but almost forgot to post it.  Barb was our hostess this month and she chose Newton's Nook Happy Hol-oween stamp for our image with the theme being "Halloween".

This was such a fun image to color with my copic markers.  The patterned papers are from Echo Park - Happy Halloween Line.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set. 

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team did with the image.

Inky Paws Challenge #231

 I decided to sit down and make a Halloween card.  I found this unique sketch challenge over at Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #231.  

For my card I decided to use the stamp set from Newton's Nook called Happy Howl-oween.  Iam sad to say I no longer see this stamp set in their store but there are still several adorable halloween images you can see HERE.

I stamped the image off and used the matching die to cut it out.  I then colored the image with my copic markers.  Such a fun challenge.
