Triple B and Colorful Options - Green

I used three stencils from A Colorful Life for this challenge. The green inks were all Distressed Oxide Inks that were used for the stencling. The sentiment is from Stampendous and I used Versafine Clair Black in for it. I sketched the lines on the birds with a black fine-tipped black Sharpie. I punched the butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch from design paper and another layer of polka dotted velllum for the wings. 

This card is for the following challenges:

Art Nudge 225C

I wanted to try out some new stencils I just ordered from A Colorful Life, and tried to use colors that were close to these for the February 225C at Art Nudge. The rose stamp is a very old one from my old Stampin' Up collection. The sentiment is from Stampdendous. I used distress oxide inks for the blending for the stencil work, and I used Versamark Clair Black in for stamping the sentiment and images. I used alcohol markers for the coloring of the roses.

What a fun challenge here on Festive Friday this week! I chose pink, t shirt, and arms for my card!! I just recently purchased this Stampendous stamp set that includes these arms and the flower and leaves I used on this card as well as the sentiment. The t shirt die is from Hero Arts. The glitter pink paper was a left over from another project. Thank you, Festive Friday team for making me more aware of these special days. This was one I was unaware of.

 

Little Red Wagon - Winter Blue

This was a fun card to make. I started by finding a piece of design paper from my stash with blues on it. Then I punt it through my big shot using a 3_D embossing folder from Sizzix. I sanded over it to get the underlayer of white paper to come up. It did not pop like I thought it would so I rubbed some blue distressed oxide ink over the embossing. I liked the look and that it added more blue to my paper. I die cute 3 other snowflakes out using a different design paper. I found a gold glittered snowflake in my stash and added it under a smaller die cut snowflake. I added some clear crystal gems to the centers. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz sentiment strip.

Art Impressions #397

The theme of the challenge over at Art Impressions is Drink Up!! I love this guy enjoying his favorite beverage and I tried to make it look like a beer. And then I added the free handed sentiment -

"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.....Drink Up!" 

This is some fun design paper from Paper Studio that I pieced together to get this cool design.  I used versafine clair black ink for the image and used copic markers to do the coloring. I used an orange cardstock for the card base.
