VSN 7, 8, and 9

VSN has started for the day :)

Challenge #7 - Use as many flowers on a card as possible!

Challenge #8 - Kids challenge to make a paper doll (I finally got Katie to do this after much eye rolling!)





Challenge #9 - A limited supply challenge to mimic a school uniform!!!!

VSN 5 and 6

Challenge #5 was to make a card using the re-inkers and baby wipes technique to make a tie dye look. Now this isn't my strong suit, but I tried! The focal flowers were done with more yellows and on textured c/s. Where as the background was done with more blues on smooth c/s - in real life it makes for an interesting contrast.

Challenge # 6 was to use "Animal prints" YIKES! Really not my strong suit and not something I own! But I remembered this tissue paper that I'd gotten some glass stuff packed in through a mailing and I dug that out! The tissue paper is just glued to regular c/s and then embellished. This is an SCS sketch challenge, the poly shrink charm I already had made and the top of the card is pretty much all punches!

See you at noon tomorrow!!!!!

VSN 3 and 4

The third challenge of the night was to use a "sketch" style stamp. Any colors, any layout, but it had to be sketchy - I pulled out petal prints, did some faux tearing, added the sentiment layer, a flower and "aged" the ribbon by heating it with my heat gun.

The fourth challenge of the night was to make a "Genie bag" this came off pretty fast! Some patterned paper, some punches, and cut and paste - DONE!

It's VSN weekend

VSN is "Virtual stamp night" over at SCS - that means several people have been super busy to bring you some special themed challenges every hour on the hour from 6:00 to 11:00 on Friday night and from noon to 11:00 on Saturday! This addition of VSN's theme is Fashion Weekend!

The catch? You've only got about 45 minutes to get your card done!

Our first challenge of the night was an inspiration challenge - here's mine - I used alcohol inks to make my background, then I took an extra piece of the background and embossed my flower, used water color pencils to add more color, tied on a quick ribbon, added some brads and "ta-da" it's done!

The second challenge of the night was to use thread on a card, any kind of thread used in any way - I hand sewed a back stitched frame around kitty, stamped outside my oval mask, added a prima flower and some stickles - look here >

Stay tuned more to come!!!!

Some playing

I have a new customer that's requested a party/stamp camp at her home, here's some of the ideas I'm playing with so far. What do you think?

By Request

My friend Joni - aka jstarbright over on SCS - requested a picture of my cone box. So this one is for her, but if you want to know what I did, here's the deets

The cone is made of Soft sky cardstock, stamped with the Baroque Motiffs set, I added some Chocolate PP to the very bottom to hide the seam, and added the flower as a focal point. The handle has some sparkle added to it with glitter (Joni just LOVES glitter - not) and is attached with eyelets - thanks to the Crop-a-dile.

This second one is a close up of a card I'm thinking about for an upcoming stamp camp, it's also done in Soft Sky, but I used Basic Gray as my accent on this one. And yes more glitter - luv ya Joni!!!

Getting back to the challenge

Over on SCS that is! Chris informed me this week that she hadn't seen anything new so I got off my VSN creative wagon and did some challenges this week;)



This is the "try a new technique" challenge, which is a "flap fold card" the patterned paper is a scrap and I have no idea who the manufactor is!
This was the weekly sketch, which I combined with the weekly color combo - I like it, but it still seems "different."
