Creative Confetti - Make it Shimmer

This week at Power Poppy, Julie has asked that we make it shimmer.  I was thinking that I should start thinking about my Christmas cards and printed out this digital image called Merriest Berries. 

Here it is. 

I colored up the image with Copic markers and then added Spectrum Noir Sparkle to it all.  The berries are covered with glossy accents and then more sparkle over the top. I fussy cut it out and placed it on a die-cut panel. The background panel is from MFT Country Plaid 6X6 paper. A few sequins from my stash. Sentiments outside and inside are from Poinsettia set. 

Sparkle is always hard to capture with a camera.  Here is a little better view of the shimmer. 

I will be adding this to the wonderful entries at Creative Confetti for this week. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I got one Christmas card done! 

Love your comments! 

                                       

Seize the Birthday #172 - Butterflies

For this challenge at Seize the Birthday, it was my turn to pick a topping.  I picked one that you will find fun and you probably have done a lot of them.  So why don't you kick it up a notch and do something out of your comfort zone? I did! 

The toppings are for this challenge. 

"Butterflies"

If you're not a toppings kind of  person, well.....you can just

stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

Please welcome, Su Mohr our Surprise Party Guest for 
July and August.

Here is the card that I did for this challenge. 

 Used the Simon Says background stamp in white embossing powder and heat set it.  Then colored the panel with Distressed Inks in Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint and Shaded Lilac.  Then I die cut that background panel with Penny Black Antique Frames die. The butterfly is from GKD Stately Flowers and I stamped them on watercolor paper and used watercolors to bring them to life. If you look closely, there are some Nuvo drops in clear here and there.

There is lots of talent there.

Creative Confetti - Let's get Krafty

This week the challenge was easy for me as I had already done a colored pencil on kraft paper and it fits this week's challenge at Creative Confetti. 

On Monday of this week, Amy Shulke posted an Inspire Me.  Did you see it, if not click HERE and scroll down until you see it. It was amazing and I gave it a try.  Here is my card.

 I used my colored pencils and a few Copic markers.  I had some of the ones that Amy used.  It was fun to see how she did the coloring and how I could do one too.  I am certain that I could not do one on my own and get the shadows and the shine on the glass right. It was easy when you have a great teacher.

Here is another view, please notice the envelope that I made to go with this card as it is a 5X5 square card and needed an envelope. 

This will be entered in the Creative Confetti Challenge for this week. 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day and thanks for the comments.

Well here it is August and it is time for another challenge from Double D.

Don't you love this time of the month when we announce the challenge for you to enter?

Here is the mood board for your inspiration.

Look at all of the animals in this Jungle. But you just need to do something to do with a jungle. 

Here is my card. 

 This card was sent to my son months ago when he got a new job.  Inside it says, can do amazing things. By now it is probably on his refrigerator, or somewhere else.  

Lol, I wish I had taken a picture of the inside. 

Oh Look, I found a picture of the inside. 

I used a lot of things to make this card, here they are:
MFT Tucan Do It Stamp and dies
MFT Tropical Flowers
Die Namics Stitched Rounded Rectangles. (inside)
Memory Box Weeping Willow branches.
Cloud Stencil

So now it is your turn and I can't wait to see what you will come up with.

I made this card for you a very long time ago.  It was a newer stamp and I was itching to make it into a card.  I used the stamp and die set called Flourishing Fuchsias.  Don't you love this mysterious and beautiful flower?   

Here is my card. 

It was fun to die cut some of the flowers and leaves and pop them out for more dimension. 

It will be fun to see what you think of when you see the challenge title for Flowers.
