Challenge Your Stash

 What a fun challenge we have this month on our Challenge Your Stash group.  Vicky was our hostess this month and she decided our challenge was Black and White.  I am needing Christmas cards so I decided to use an image that I had received in another swap.

I'm not sure of the stamp set design but I found some Christmas papers that I had in my scrap pile that were black and white.  I added a white snowflake on the santa image for a little interest.

Thanks again Vicky for a great challenge.

PIP Challenge #2421

 Happy Memorial Day to all.  May we all remember the veterans who served for our country.

Today's challenge for Pammie's Inky Pinkies is sponsored by Newtons Nook Designs.Newtons Nook Designs.

I absolutely love this stamp company.  It is always hard for me to decide which of my fun stamps to use for the challenge.  I am a true lover of flowers of all kinds so I decided to use "Dainty DaisiesDainty Daisies" for my card this week.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then used the matching die to cut the image out.  Not much coloring required because I always think of white daisies but I know they come in several colors.  The papers I used are from Carta Bella Summer line.

Thanks to Newton's Nook Designs for sponsoring PIP Challenges this week.  I hope to see lots of entries in this weeks challenge.  You will want to check out Newton's Nook Designs because they are having a fantastic sale right now.

Creative Crew

 

Since today is the 15th, this means it is time for another challenge from our Creative Crew on Splitcoaststampers.  

I was lucky enough to be the hostess this month.  I chose May because it is one of my favorite months of the year.  I love seeing all the flowers in bloom so of course my theme for this month is "It's all about the flowers".

I chose for an image "Tulips For You" by Penny Black.  I challenged my crew to use the whole image or just part of it.  I made 2 cards using the 2 different techniques.

For my first card, I just colored the image and then used a scallop rectangle to cut the image out.  The sentiment is from Sweet Lattice Sentiments from Waffle Flower.  The papers I used are "Foiled Floral" by The Paper Source.

For my second card I colored the image with my copic markers and then used a circle die to cut out the center of the image.  I also cut out a small circle of the yellow tulps to add at the bottom.  The butterly is from Taylored Expressions called Flutter-Bys.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the team did with the image.  You can see them by clicking on their names below.

PIP Challenge #2419

 Time for Challenge #2419 over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Our sponsor this week is Polkadoodles.  

                                                

You will find an amazing selection of digital images in their store.  For my card today I am decided to use the digital stamp "Bella Bear Daisies".  

I started by printing the image off and coloring it with my copic markers.  I wanted to give my daisies some color so I went with different colors.  I love this image.  The Happy Birthday Sentiment was from a sheet of sentiments by Creative Expressions.  I added a few enamel dots in the corner to give  it a little pizazz.  

Be sure and check out Polka Doodles store and I hope to see you over at PIP Challenges.
