Birthday Blog Hop

Birthday blog Hop - If you came here from Laralee's blog, then you are on the right trail. If you are just starting the go to Sew Many Challenges blog so that you don't miss any of the yummy projects from the rest of the team.


This image is Eris Birthday by Sew Many Cards. Isn't he the cutest? I colored Eris with Copics and did you notice his tail? It is embroidery floss that I threaded through a slit that I made. The Dp is from my stash.

I embossed some green card stock with a QuikCuts folder with leaves. I used some orange glitter tulle for my ribbon and topped it a flower. The sentiment is by Dreamer's Design. I finished it off with Studio18 gemstones.

For my second card I used Halen and Teddy. I colored it with Copic's and added some Stickles to the flowers. The DP is by Roseart. This is a z fold card and the image is attached only on the left side. I added some daffodils that I cut off the stem and tied with a ribbon. I finished it off with some purple gemstones in two different sizes.


I get to give both images to one lucky winner, who I will draw from the comments left on this post. The Halen and Teddy also is the Freebie that is available at the store blog. You will end the hop there, so make sure you pick it up then.
The grand prize this week at Sew Many Challenges is a $15 Gift Certificate to the Sew Many Cards Store AND a Sick Bear image.
I would love to see what you are making with Sew Many Cards images and I am hoping that you will join the challenge this week.
Next on the hop is Karen, so head on over there after leaving a comment here.

Blissful Love

Blissful Love - It seems that every time I need a fairy tale image, this one by Michelle Perkett always pops into my head. These two fairies dancing in the moonlight is my idea of Happily Ever After. The challenge this week at Michelle Perkett's Studio is fairy tales. I hope that you will all join us and color up one of Michelle's images that you think is Happily Ever After.

DP is from the dollar spot in Target last year. Enchanted Love is colored with Copic's. Sentiment is Hot off the Press. I used a new glue that I bought at the stamping convention that I attended Saturday. The glue is brushed on and then I added the fine glitter to the wings and the little hearts on the sentiment. I used stickles on the heart wings and the girl fairies hem. I wanted to use both techniques for glitter and glue to see the difference. As you can see; the Stickles is much thicker and tends to cover more of the coloring. Now that it is totally dry, I rubbed the brushed on glitter quite hard and the glitter did not rub off.

Ice Queen

Ice Queen - This image by Michelle Perkett is one of the four season goddesses. Don't you just love the icy feel of this card? I colored her with the Copic's that my son and his wife gave me for Christmas. The bought every BV shade that Hobby Lobby had. The each took a coupon in and bought them each week until they had all the BV's, so it was a real act of love (my son hates to go into Hobby Lobby.) LOL

I added some diamond glaze to the icicles, so that they would have that shiny look that icicles have. I also added some stickles and some additional fine glitter.
The DP was from my stash.
My old for the challenges is DP, stickles and my snowflake punch, my new is new Copic's, ribbon and a new technique of adding fine glitter to Stickles while it is still wet.

Ultimate Price

Ultimate Price - This image by Sew Many Cards was hard for me to work on. Many of you know that we have ties to the military and that my husband is currently in Iraq. Also, my son was just commissioned in the U.S. Army. What many of you may not know is that we have a bizarre connection to one of the 13 killed at Fort Hood.

The step-father, of my daughter's step-son was one of the 13 that fell that day. It was very strange to watch the ceremony on T.V.


The boots, gun and helmet is the symbol of a fallen soldier. I colored Owen saluting fallen soldier to look like my little Trystan saluting his step-father. Owen was colored with Copic's. I used some Matte Accents on Owen's shoes and eyes. DP is from my sash. I embossed the star with my star CB folder.


Thank you is the only thing that I know to say to our fallen soldiers. Freedom isn't free and I appreciate their sacrifices.
The challenge at Sew Many Challenges this week is "Flagged." You should see what the rest of the team did with this challenge. It was fun to see what everyone else interpreted "Flagged" to mean.
The sentiment I made into a dog tag.
The second card uses a freebie that that you can get at the Sew Many Cards store today and today only, so hop over there and snag it for yourself.

I can really relate to this image. It is tough to be sick when you are the Mommy. No matter how awful you feel, you still have to take care of everyone else.
I colored Bear feeling Sick with Copic's and gave the patches and cushion some Stickles to make them sparkle. The DP is from a stack that I bought eons ago. I cut the image with a Spellbinders Nesties. This one is the peony shape. Sentiment is from Hot off the Press. I also used 3 flower brads.

Bride

Bride - I made this Wedding card using the Fairy bride image by Michelle Perkett. She is colored with Copic's and I used Stickles and while it was still wet, I added fine glitter. It made it really sparkly. I added some tiny gemstones to her crown.
The image was cut with a Spellbinder Nestie. Then I distressed it with Tea Dye. The paper is a scrap that I had left over from my daughter's wedding Album. I finished this card off with a pink ribbon that I tied useing a bow easy.
I was able to use this card for 2 DT projects. Creative Card Crew's challenge this week is New things and Michelle Perkett's Studio the challenge is Relax - anything goes. Creative Card Crew challenge is sponsered this week by Simon Says. Simon Says carries a wide range of crafting Supplies to include Copic's and Spellbinders Nesties.
