This week at Gingerloft challenge , our challenge is about not coloring your image.... YUP no color!  That can be an easy task... but you have to use the proper image for this! For this card I fell in love with Cello 3!  I thought it was just the most wondeful image for this type of challenge.  So yes I didn't use color on my image but I really went bright for the rest!   It thought it was the perfect contrast. For this card I used some paper from Basic Grey - Konnichiwa.  I cut the digi using my rectangle fleur de lis, I used the square fleur de lis for the paper under the sentiment.  I also used rose creation also by Spellbinders.  The flourish under the flowers is from Dee's flourish #2 and I used the large flourish by Lalaland crafts.  The bling brads come from Eyelet outlets.  Here's a closer look at the wonderful digi. I thought this sentiment from Create with TLC  was just perfect with this musician.  Because to be talented you need to practice practice p

I colored the digi with my copics and added some stickles to the eyes for the glow of the candle light.  I used ripe persimmon distress inks around the digi and sentiment.

This week at  Gingerloft challenge  it's all about Stiching.  Real or faux. Well... I haven't used my sewing machine for real sewing with fabric in forever!  What I've been using it with is for cards.  And this is one that was definitively worth it. For this card I used the wonderful digi from Gingerloft called Panda Lunch.  I did nothing to the image beside a bit of distress ink because it's so fabulous. For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - from the Olive collection.  I use also for the flourish MS paper punch pad where there was the wonderful kraft paper.  The die is from Memory box, it's called whimsical flourish.  I used my Tim Holtz distresser on all the paper to distress the card. Here's a closer look at the digi to which I added vintage photo distress ink: The sentiment is from  Create with TLC  and I thought it was perfect for this card.

The image was so beautiful that I only added some Vintage photo distress ink to age it up.   Here's a look at a sentiment that I got part of the Autumn club from  Create with tlc .  If you have not been part of those clubs what are you waiting for?!?  There's so many goodies that come directly in your mailbox!

This week at  Gingerloft challenge , our challenge is to use embossing wet or dry. To make my card I used the wonderful digi Wintertree.  It was perfect to make a Christmas card!  I'm really trying to get some cards made in advance this year :D  And so far I have managed to make a few!!! To make my card I have used minimal embellishments.  I used paper from Basic grey - Nordic Holiday.  I have used the classic rectangles to cut out the digi and paper underneath.  I made a few snowflakes with my MS punch and added Robin's Nest dew drops to them.  I used the embossing folder from Tim Holtz called Alterations - Joy. Here's a look at the digi.  I didn't do anything to it because I really love the way it looks as it is. And here's a look at the sentiment from  Create with tlc .  I thought it was so very pretty!!!!

This week at One stitch at a time challenge  the theme is "under 18's". I was lucky to play with Gingerloft's Tree house!  I thought this was the perfect theme image for under 18th! I would have looooooved to have a beautiful tree house like this one when I was young! To make this card I used a bunch of papers that I had purchased at my dollar store.  I also used some recollection cardstock. I used the fretboard embossing folder by Couture creation to create faux wood under the digi.  I also had lots of fun with my dies, I used: Label 21, Wonky rectangles and Label and tags all from Spellbinders.  I added some Robin's Nest Dew drops as well, some buttons and ribbon from my stash. I colored the digi up with my copics and put vintage photo and frayed burlap on the digi and the sentiment. I chose a sentiment from TLC called yesterday today tomorrow.  I thought this was great with this image since when we see a tree house we remember the fun that

This time our challenge is called Birds of a feather. This is the card that I created: To make this card I used paper from My mind's eye - Dilly dally.  I used my new classic diamond spellbinder to cut out the digi and the paper underneath I purchased these for a steal at Winners :D  Canadian's equivalent of TG Maxx or Marshall's.  I have used Scallop and classic circle to cut out the sentiment that comes from Greeting Farms.  I added some feathers that I purchased at Omer De Serres.  The little star comes from the dollar store.
