JustUs Girls and Mod Squad Challenge and NBUS

 This week the challenge at JUGS is a color challenge.  Look at the colors that they chose, orange and yellow.  Wonderful summer colors.  Does that sound familiar to you?  Well, the Mod Squad challenge this week is to use summer colors.  Yea, this sounds like one card for two challenges! 

I wanted to use a new stamp, just itching!  It fits in well with both challenges and it was fun to put together.  Yes, I have had my cup of coffee, and just finished this card before my second cup. 
                                                      LOVE THAT!!

Here is the receipe:
GKD CS Sweet Mango and Sweet Corn

Thanks for your comments, now it's your turn!  Lets see what you can do,  Remember only one card gets you into two challenges. 

Make it Monday #168

         Make It Monday #168: Combining Chalk and Stamps with Impression Plates

Well, this turned out to be a very interesting challenge for me.  I only have one impression plate and that is the In Bloom.  I embossed that on watercolor paper and also embossed (at the same time) a spellbinder rectangle die, so that I could put in a sentiment.  I do not have chalks, so I used my Gelatos and water to color over that.  Here is where it gets interesting.  Using Distressed inks, I stamped the wreath from A Wreath For All Seasons stamp set.  Over the wreaths, I stamped Dahias from the Delightful Dahlia Additions set, to make this unusual flower.  Gingham washi tape on the bottom to lighten up the card.  I am not sure it I like the results, but see what you think.  Here it is.

Just a quick post today!  Hope you day is good, and thanks for stopping. 

 

Just Us Girls Challenge #247

It is a technique and it's watercolor!  I think that is my favorite technique to play with.  I used to watch my Dad paint and I was fascinated by it.  Now I can do it myself. 

This card just drips of watercolor.  All CS is Gina K.  I used White, Sand and Ocean Mist. 

I first stamped the white, with versamark, and a Stamp in Up texture stamp.  Then heat embossed with white.  On top of that, I used distressed inks and water.  Then I stamped the hearts and sprayed the stamp with water.  Fussy cut those out and used foam dots to adhere them.  I drew in the strings to turn them into balloons.  Last, I used another Stamp in Up stamp for the sentiment. This will be a birthday card for a friend that does not like flowers.  So she gets balloons and a few sequins!

Thanks so much for your comments.  They are appreciated.
