Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash Group on Splitcoaststampers.  Darlene selected our challenge this month and she chose "Starry Night" and asked us to create a card with a night sky full of stars.



For my card I am using Lawn Fawn Upon a Star with matching dies.  I colored the images with my copic markers and used the matching dies to cut them out.  I used a little bit of gold Stickles on the stars.  I cut some hills using the MFT Slimline Grassy Hills die and sponged them with a little dark green ink.  I used white embossing ink on the sentiment. 

Such a great challenge.

PIP Challenge #2625

 June seems to be going fast.  The older I get, the faster time seems to go.  This weeks challenge for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is sponsored by Lawn Fawn.



I am a real fan of Lawn Fawn and love creating scenes with their adorable images.  I decided to go with a winter scene for my card today.


For my card I am using the stamp set "Here we go a-waddling".  I stamped all the images off and colored them with my copic markers and cut them out with matching dies.  I found a scrap piece of snowflake paper for the background and then used the "Stitched Hillside Borders" die on white cardstock to form the hills.  I sponged around the edges of the hills with Stampin Up Pool Party Ink.  I stamped the sentiment on the hills using my Misti so I could get the curve just right.  I added a couple snowflake embellishments I had in my stash.

I hope you check out Lawn Fawn and their adorable stamps.  I have my eye on their new release.

Creative Crew

 Time for another challenge from our Creative Crew group at Splitcoaststampers.  Lorraine is our hostess this month and she came up with a great challenge for us this month.  Her theme she selected for us is "Trick or Treat".  I always love making halloween cards using bright colors.

The image is called Miss October from Close To My Heart.  She sent us 2 sizes and I decided to use the smaller one.  I colored the image with my copic markers and this cut the image out with a scallop oval die.  The papers I used are Moster Madness by Doodlebug and A Little Scary by Fancy Pants Designs.  I also used a bit of the Offray ribbon she sent.  

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Check out the rest of the team by clicking on their name below to see what they did with the challenge.

PIP Challenge #2623

 Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2623 is up today.  Our sponsor this week is Sunbird Spark.


I hope you visit their website to see some of the beautiful images they have.  For my card today I decided to use "Crafty Friend".  I printed the image off and colored it with my copic markers.  I had some scraps of crafty paper and used it for my card. 

I have several friends that I could send this card to.  For sure we need to be creative everyday to brighten our days.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope to see your creations this week over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.
