CCEE2242 Animated characters

 Lynn McAuley here with the final CCEE Stampers Challenge for October.

Friday is International Animation Day. What joyful and action-packed entertainment has filled our lives through the talented creations of the world's amazing animators. In honor these animators' remarkable work, choose one of your favorite animated characters to feature on this week's CCEE design. How fabulous would it be if you included the name of the animator who created your character!

These are some of our Design Team's favorite characters.

I picked Walt Disney's Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I used a recently acquired stamp set and the cirlces were punched from an Echo Park design paper pad. I mounted this on black and then glued to a brilliant blue card base. 

Little Red Wagon - Dots and stripes

I needed some quick and easy thank you cards. Grabbed some dotted and striped scraps from my scrap box and this gold chrome die to add quickly to it. I love these 5 minute cards.  It is on a navy cardstock base,

The die is from Gina Marie Designs. 

 

Addicted to Stamps - dies and stencils

 

This stencil is from Rubbernecks and I used distress oxide inks to do the stenciling. The dies are from Sizzix and cute from silver chrome cardstock.  I am getting a head start on some of my Christmas cards. This was done on pink cardstock.

Art Impression Challenge - Let's hear it for the Boys

I love these little frogs and what boys don't love frogs??? So I made this card for the AI challenge this week. I love the expressions on these frog's faces and love using all this green. You can find these great challenges on the Art Impression website here:

I colored the image using copic markers. I added some scraps of green gingham and a few green gemstones just to make it more festive for a birthday celebration. 

 

C.R.A.F.T. non-traditional Christmas colors

 

Trying to get a few early Christmas cards made ahead of time. This one I did for the C.R.A.F.T. challenge using non-traditional colors. 

Check here for the details of the challenge:

I used a Sizzix die for the holly, and I used a 3-D embossing folder from Sizzix as well for the texture used for the card front. I colored this with distress oxide inks and copic markers. I added a ribbon and a die cut sentiment from Sizzix for the sentiment made of pink chrome cardstock. 

Allsorts - Colours of Autumn

I love fall colors so I made this card using them as the color scheme for this room. You can find all the details for this challenge this week on Allsorts challenge using colours of autumn here:

Christmas in non-traditional colors

I have been having such fun this afternoon making a lot of cards with my Power Poppy digitals. This is a Christmas floral arrangement that I decided to color in non-traditional Christmas colors for the C.R.A.F.T. challenge this week. I used copic markers to do my coloring. The background was silver chrome paper embossed with a Sizzix 3-D embossing folder. I mounted it onto a rose pink card base. Since it is using this metallic, shiny paper I am also going to enter this card into the monthly challenge going over on the Power Poppy Blog.
