Creative Confetti - Merci Bouquet



This week at Creative Confetti is right in my crafty zone!  Just color up a bouquet of Power Poppy for your creation.  I will mince no words and get right to it.  Here is my design.
This is a digital design that I have not colored before.  It is Wildflower Mini and was printed out on X-press paper and colored with Copic markers. Die cut with Memory Box Scalloped stitched rectangle.
I will be entering this in the Creative Confetti for this week.  I had a great time coloring and relaxing before my Son came for a visit.  It made the day go faster.
Thanks for stopping by and I do appreciate your comments.

Seize the Birthday- Make Us Laugh!

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!

    Our "Toppings" option this time is...
 Make Us Laugh!


Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!
The choice is yours!

 My teammate Lindsey has decided on the toppings subject for this month and it is a doozy! She said 
Make us Laugh!  Ha, thanks Lindsey, I am up for this challenge.  I hope that my card is not too snarky.  I used my own computer generated sentiment on the front and soften it up in the inside.

Here is my snarky card for a birthday!  


These City Rats by Katzel Kraft are too funny.  This guy looks like he could not be bothered and just wants to continue eating his cheese.   I put some thick coats of glossy accents on the cheese.  I wish you could see it better.  
 I hope that you use the toppings for this challenge and be sure to check out the team at 
Seize the Birthday and our Surprise Party Guest too.

Creative Confetti - Color it up!

A new challenge for this week at Creative Confetti is to Color it up! 


But to challenge yourself to find new ways to color. 
I have often colored the background of my images with light colors to enhance the image, but today, I went out of my comfort zone and used a very dark combination.  
I will get right to it.  I have only colored this digital image from Power Poppy where I learned to put the sentiment in the center of the geraniums. It is not a card yet. 
Looks like I need more work getting the sentiment straight. It is kind of at a carefree angle.  
I will be entering this in the Weekly Creative Confetti at Power Poppy. 
Thanks for stopping by and I love your comments. 
Going to an English tea room for lunch with my bestie today.

Creative Confetti Challenge - Take 10

For this challenge, we are to take a clean and classy design and create a card in 10 minutes or maybe a little longer.  No one is counting.  I was able to do my card by using some already created pieces and some printed design paper.
I will get right to it, here is what I did in a little more than 10 minutes.  But not much.
I used just the leaves from the ChrysanthemunXL stamp set and a panel of design paper and a border of green.  The circle was dry embossed and then the leaves and sentiment were placed on the top. I made the little heart that you see on the sentiment banner with Nuvo Chrystal drops on a Teflon sheet.  That is what took the longest, waiting for it to dry.
Please check out the ongoing monthly challenge at Power Poppy, called  Creative Confetti. I am having a lot of fun here and you may too.
Until next time, thanks for your comments as I do appreciate them.
