Emboss It!

Well I had a busy week but I did finally get a chance to have a day off with my Hubby.  I think it was the first day off we've had together in months.  We spent the day out exploring some shops and a toy show (so we did a little work but it was fun).  I didn't get a chance to pick up all the stuff I wanted to while shopping but there is always next week.  I did get to spend a little time in my craft room as well and here is the card I came up with for the Simon Says challenge." Emboss It".

I started with a wolf stamp from Local King and stamped it with black memento ink and colored it with copic markers (N0, N1, N3, N5, N7, YG91, 93, 95 & YR21).  I also used a clear glaze pen and black glaze pen on the eyes.  I used the cuttlebug "forest branches" embossing folder for the background.  I edged the picture and background paper with black chalk ink.  The greeting is from the CC Design Amy R "It's Your Birthday" stamp set and I stamped it with ranger archival ink and popped it up with foam squares.

That's it for tonight I hope to be back in a few days with another project.  Have a great week everyone and thanks for stopping by.  Happy Crafting everyone!

Animal Antics!

Well I ended up working all weekend and haven't had a chance to update my last post.  I promise I will do that in a couple of days.  I did however find a couple of hours to spend in my studio tonight.  So I decided to check out the Simon Says challenge.  Fortunately for me the challenge this week is Animal Antics...I also needed to make a masculine card so this worked out perfectly.  

I decided to use one of my favourite stamps I haven't used in months.  The stamp is from the Local King "Safari Animals 2" set.  I actually think the last time I used this stamp I coloured it with my prisma markers so it has probably been over a year since I used it (Yikes!!).  Anyhow, this time I coloured it with my copics (E30, 33, 35 - YR21 & Y00).  I also used a clear glaze pen and black glaze pen on his eyes.  I edged all the papers with versa magic jumbo java and stamped the greeting with memento espresso truffle.  The greeting is from the C.C. Designs Amy R "It's Your Birthday" stamp set.  I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the background paper, I think it is called "mesh" and a few bronze brads for a little more embellishment.  I wanted to keep it clean and simple.  The picture doesn't show the colours well, looks much better in person.

Well that's it for tonight, long day at work tomorrow!  Have a great week everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Embellish It!

I'm going to post this quickly because I'm at work right now....shhhh don't tell my boss!LOL!  Anyhow I spent last night working on this card but ran out of time to post it.  I didn't finish it until 1:00 am and really needed to go to sleep at that point.  The challenge for this week over at Kraftin' Kimmie is Embellish It!  Now I have tons of embellishments but I have a problem using anything but brads and rhinestones.  This challenge forced me to dig into some of my other goodies.  I die cut a some pieces and distressed them, used some buttons and of course a few rhinestones.

I did a bunch of paper piecing and used copics to color it.  I will post the rest of the details when I get home tonight (I don't have the list with me).  I just wanted to make sure that I posted this before time ran out.

So I will be back a little later with some updated info.
Thanks for stopping by
