 I love this Power Poppy digital for fall. I thought it would work for the Color Throwdown challenge so used their choice of colors, and also for the Inspiration Station harvest theme as well.

I water colored the image, and stamped the sentiment. 

Double D challenge - orange and black

Following the color theme for the Double D challenge this week of orange and black, I designed this card using one of my older stamps (the pumpkin) and I added this cat stamp that is from Impression Obsessions. I die cut the letters for the sentiment. I sponged in the circle for the moon using the negative side of a cicle punch,  I used copic markers and a white colored pen to and the color on the pumpkin and cat.

The Card Concept #182a

I made this card for the Splitcoaststampers' Sketch challenge #928 and the Card Concept challenge (182 a)  This is one of my newest stamps purchased from Unity. I love paper piecing as a technique and this comfort stuffed chair and pillow is just the perfect technique for it. The tree in the window is from Stampin' Up. I used copic markers to color the outdoor scene.

This card made use of the bottom row across: scallops, mixed medium, fall colors. 

This is a one layer card using a Colorful Life cloud stencil (the scallops). I used distress oxide inks and Copic markers for my mixed medium, and the fall colors for my fall tree. 

 

CCEE2240-Happy Birthday to the US Navy

 Welcome back to another week of challenges from the CCEE Stampers. I am Lynn McAuley, and I am serving as hostess for the month of October.

In the United States of America , October 13 is the day that the U.S. Navy celebrates as their birthday. To honor the men and women who have stepped up to serve our nation as members of the Navy since its inception, create a  card with a nautical theme.

Here are the wonderful samples from our talented design team created to honor past and present members of the Navy.

I used distress oxide inks for my stenciled background, using A Colorful Life stencil for my background. The images are all stickers from  Paper Studio, I didn't have any stamps that I thought fit this theme very well, so I went the quick and easy sticker route, 

Art Impressions challenges - Buttons and Bows

This was such a fun challenge this week on the Art Impression Challenge of buttons and bows. I used some cute little button brads for my buttons to make it easier to mail, and this cute tied ribbon that coordinated with the colors from my design paper. I have reached the age where this sentiment expresses my feelings exactly.  I used colored pencils to color this image from the Birthday Wishes stamp set from Art Impressions.

CCEE2239 - National Bring Your Bible to School Day

Lynn McAuley here to kick off a month of new challenges for the CCEE Stampers for October.

In the United States, today is National Bring Your Bible to School Day. For that reason, our challenge for this week is quite simple: use a Bible scripture as the sentiment on the front of your card design.

Here are the wonderful creations from our design team members and the wonderful scriptures they have chosen to use with their beautiful designs:

 I used a stencil from A Colorful Life and distress oxide inks for my leaves. The sentiment is from an old Sweet and Sassy stamp (I think).
