Teen Idol

Teen Idol - This fortnights challenge at Creative Card Crew is everyone's favorite - Anything Goes!!! So come and join for some fun and a chance to win some Kenny K digi's; as that is who is sponsoring us this go around.

They let us play with some of their fun, sassy images and I used this cool dude who is Kenny K's Teen Idol. Isn't he a great image? And so perfect for those hard to make guy cards. For my card I used Sandy Lion's People Pattern DP. It is double sided, so I only had to use one sheet of paper. The brads are K and Company and it came with those funky chipboard circle. My sentiment is Hot Off the Press.
Teen Idol was colored with Copics and I distressed all of the paper with Ranger's Tea Dye.

Pencil Box

Pencil Box - This week at Sew Many Challenges we are having a week of showing the new Fall images by Angela of Sew Many Cards. Today I get to show Marvin with Book. I love this image. Not only could he be used as a back to school image, but it would also be cute to use the book as a Bible. Marvin could then be a church mouse.

My card is actually a little pencil box. I found this pattern on line, but my computer locked up and I had to reboot it and was unable to find the site where I found it.

It is really simple to make. The belly band comes off and then the box opens up. I placed some things inside to show how big the opening is, but if you want it so fold flat, you would need to put something thinner in it.
My DP is Paper Studio's All Seasons paper pack. My punch is EK Success. and I added some Dew Drops.

My image is Marvin with Book and you can get it at Sew Many Cards.

Thank You Rosie

Thank You Rosie - Today I am very sad as this is the last day for there to be a design team for Michelle Perkett Studio. Michelle has decided to take her work in a different direction and therefore dissolving the challenge blog. This bitter-sweet last challenge is "Thank-you," as Michelle wanted to thank all of us for being part of her team.

You will still be able to get her breathtaking images in her Etsy shop here. I have used Rosie as I think that her pose is a curtsy. I love this image, but Michelle has so many lovely images, that I don't think I ever got around to coloring her before.

For my card, I used Welcome Baby from Big Lots DP.
My flowers are Posey Patch Heartfelt Creations. I love that they have flower stamps and Spellbinders that go together. This way you can stamp, then have a perfect cut on the same flower. It took my some time to figure out how to match the die with the stamped image, but now I have one of those I can't believe how dense I was not to figure it out earlier. I sponged over them with gold (centers) and Rose Viva Decor Inka-gold. I love this stuff. It gives a metallic look to things. My yellow Swirls were cut using my Cricut and Accent Essencels cartridge. I then shaped my flowers and added another Viva Decor product, my Icy white Pearl Pen to make the little pearls in the centers. I also used the pearl pen to make the pearl swirls. All of this took some time, but I am pleased with the results.


My ribbon is MS and it has my sentiment on it. My image is Rosie and I colored her with Copics, the gave a lot Stickles. You can never have to much bling!!



Thank you Michelle for all of your lovely images and for your friendship! I will miss all of this terribly, but am so thankful to have had this opportunity to have been on this incredable journey with you!

Vintage Chrissy

Vintage Chrissy - I have used Michelle Perketts "Chrissy" image to make my Christmas card with.

This week's challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio is Vintage. It is really fun to distress (I used Ranger's tea dye) and use ivory lace. My DP is Holiday Wonder by Paper Studio. I used some brads that I picked up at the convention in June. I love the Cameo one. My sentiment is Inkadinkado.

I colored Chrissy with Copics. I added some platinum Stickles to the center of the poinsettias on her dress. The berries are tiny gemstones and I used some ivory Flower Soft on her fur. The snowflakes got Stickled with icicle Stickles.

I love Michelle's fairies. All of Michelle's images are so pretty and fun to color. I hope that all of you will join in our vintage challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio, but remember you must use on of Michelle's images to play. She has started posting a freebie on the challenge blog that you can use on the challenge. I can't wait to see this weeks freebie.
