Can you handle the pressure? Jungle animal

 

I inked on of my mixed textured embossing folders with various neutral colors of distress oxide inks. for the card background. I stamped this terrific lion stamp from Unity with versafine clair black into onto this marigold paper. The sentiment is a little sentiment strip from Tim Holtz. I mounted the whole card onto a back panel of the marigold cs.

CCEE2244 - Silhouettes

 It's Maryann back with this weeks challenge.

I love the simplicity of the a Silhouette, a lot of companies have them whether they are stamps or dies.

Create a card with a beautiful Silhouette, it can be in a scene or a standalone image.

Now lets look at the creations from the design team.

Here is my card for this week:

   

I stenciled the background with a stencil from A Colorful Life using blue distress oxide inks. The stamp set is from Sweet and Sassy.. The ground was made with black torn paper. I used some small rhinestones as stars. I have been working on Christmas cards all week so used this theme for one of them. 

CAS on Friday - Silhouettes

 I love cards with silhouettes and have a great number of silhouette stamps and dies. This one is using a die from Impression Obsessions. I blended the blue on with a blending brush with broken china distress oxide ink, and using the same ink I stamped the dots for snow. The sentiment is stamped in versafine clair black using a stamp from Unity.

CCEE2225 Roses and Pearls.

 The rose is the national flower for the month of June while the pearl is June’s gemstone. Lynn is asking the CCEE Stampers to include both of these beauties on their card for this week’s CCEE Challenge!

This is her final week as challenge hostess, and I hope you will play along and share a wonderful design using the rose and pearls!! Won't they make for beautiful June wedding cards?

I did a little shadow stenciling on this card with two different shades of distress oxide inks. I stamped the rose with a Gina K stamp set, and blended the color on the rose with distress oxide inks as well. I colored the leaves with copic markers. The sentiment is  from a set from Sweet and Sassy, using versafine clair black ink. I added the pearls at the intersection points of the stencil pattern. 

Don't forget to see this fabulous conclusion of June by checking out the roses created by the design

CCEE2222 World Oceans Day

 Hello, crafty friends. I am Lynn McAuley here with the latest CCEE Stampers Challenge!

Because World Oceans Day is celebrated on June 8,  I want the CCEE Stampers to honor the oceans of the world with a nautical themed project of your choice. Winds, waves, boats, fish, water mammals, birds: anything related to oceans will do.

Please join us in crafting a nautical design for this challenge! Add keyword CCEE2222 to your entry should you post it in an online gallery so we can find it easily! 

I had a fun time stenciling most of this card using stencils from A Colorful Life. The sailboat stamp is from Stampin' Up. This fabulous sentiment is from Stamplorations. It is a one layer card done on white cardstock.
