Forward---Twofer Challenge 31

January 19, 2018

 I have been a little under the weather this week and with the snow and ice in Atlanta, I thought I would have a lot of crafty time, but my mojo has been "Gone With The Wind"!  

 The amazingly talented Darnell has a fabulous new challenge.  It is called the Twofer Card Challenge.  
 I look forward to playing along and I am certain the Design Team will bring so much inspiration our way! 

The theme for this week is "Feathers".  I dug through my stamps and found one that I just love and have never used. I guess Darnell would call that "NBUS"!  "Never before used Stuff".  LOL!  She is hilarious!  

 My stamp set is from Unity Stamps.  The stamp set is called Forward and Through. It is perfect for a variety of cards.  Graduation, Encouragement, Love, Retirement, Get Well--the possibilities are endless.

I used colored pencils on the feathers.  I love Native American Art and this stamp reminds me of a painting I have seen.


So happy you stopped by my blog today!  

 Sending warm hugs your way!
XXX,
Claire

Sending Love--Sparkle & Shine

May 1, 2016

 It's May Day!  Do you remember the May Pole in school?  I don't think they do that now, but it is a fond memory from my childhood!

 It's time for a new challenge at Sparkle & Shine!

We have a fabulous inspiration photo for you!  You can create in any way you like as long as we can see the inspiration in your design. 



For this challenge we are sponsored by the amazing Create A Smile Stamps! The winner of our challenge will receive a $25 gift card to the online store and will be asked to be our Guest Designer for next month. 





My card is created on a white card base.  A Coastal Cabana background is cut with a stitched die.  The main panel is water colored using a Unity Stamps, First Friend, Best Friend, Forever stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped in black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Wink of Stella and clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh are added for sparkle & shine!

Winter Cheer For A Happy New Year!-The Challenge #55

January 4, 2016

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!  It's time for a new challenge at The Challenge!  We are so excited to start 2016 with a fabulous sketch!  

 

1. Use the challenge to create a card or paper project.
2. Please add the challenge photo to your post (copy and paste).
3. Have fun and comment on the submissions of others.
4. Anything that is offensive to myself or to my viewers will be removed.
5. Have fun!!



I was searching through different paper packs (that I seem to hoard) and I found this bright pink polka dotted paper!  I knew just what I wanted to do.  I just received this fun stamp from Unity Stamp Co.-Snowpeep Grant.  I knew he was perfect for my card.  I stamped him with Momento black ink on Neenah Solor White Paper and colored him with Copic Markers.  I added some straw Stickles on his confetti and lots of Wink of Stella.  The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  Two stars were cut using gold foil and dies.  He just makes me smile!  


Thank you very much for stopping by my blog today!  I love to hear from you, so please leave a comment!

LOVE--FM233

November 6, 2015

 T.G.I.F. to all of you!  When I saw the challenge at The Friday Mashup, I squealed with delight.  Nothing is better than reliving my 70's Days!  I love that decade!!!  All of my high school and college years were spent during that time frame.  YES---I am OLD and YES---I was a Disco Queen.  I spent many nights at The Regulator Disco in Bloomington, Indiana during my college experience.  




I skipped to my craft room and found this starburst stencil from Tim Holtz and created a background with my blending tool using Distress Inks.  (They are listed below)  I love the way it turned out.  I love color blocking, but decided this was a better backdrop for my card.  So, I am just using the Decade Theme for my card.  

The stamp set is from Unity Stamps--Girly Dots.  I thought it was perfect!  Peace and Love were all the rampage during this decade.  I stamped it with black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I added three black enamel dots and the card was finished.  I made this card for a young girl that is struggling with an eating disorder.  I thought it might brighten her day.  Please keep her in your prayers. 

 Wishing all of you a fabulous weekend filled with LOVE and happiness!

 HUGS!!!!
