Designer's Choice Challenge at Repeat Impressions

One Nation Under God

HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA

Happy 4th of July everyone!!!!
************ 

It's time for another designer's choice challenge at Repeat Impressions, aka, The House That Stamps Built - this time it's Lynette's turn and she has challenged us to a color challenge - using greens and purples.  (I bet you thought it would be red, white and blue, LOL!) 
I hope you'll have a chance to play along with us.  Simply go over to The House That Stamps Built and link your card photo.  You might be the lucky winner of some fabulous new Repeat Impression Stamps if you do. 

Here is my card for Lynette's challenge.

Once again, I used this beautiful hydranga stamp from the Beautiful Days collection and colored it with Copic markers.  The wainscot bg was created using Gina K's tutorial.  A very easy way to create a nice bg.  The flourish "frame" is a die from Sizzix called "Corner Flourishes".  Spellbinder oval was used to cut the shape of the stamp.  I stamped the bumblebee twice and popped the second image on with dimensionals.  My sentiment #8607 was stamped on lavender cs with Memento "grape jelly" ink and die cut with a scalloped oval die. 

Please visit these other Rock Stars for more inspiration using Lynette's great color challenge.

A big hug and shout out to my dear blog friends in the states where there is horrid heat and no power, as well as those enduring the aftermath of the wild fires in the west.

SEEING STARS AT OUTLAWZ

Hi blog friends!!!  Happy July 1 and HAPPY CANADA DAY to all my Canadian friends!!! 

Did you notice that Outlawz has extended it's "Where in the World" party for another week???  (June 24 - July 7)  Woohoo!!!  More time to play and win great prizes.  I hope you've had a chance to play in one or more of the games and challenges....there are some really fabulous prizes to win!!! 

Speaking of the Outlawz it's once again time to play along with a new CAS challenge.  This challenge will run concurrently with the "Where in the World" party so you have time to do both and win in both th party and the current CAS challenge. 

The current CAS challenge at Outlawz is called "Seeing Stars" and this month we are welcoming Lisa Arana as our Guest Design Team Member.  Please visit her blog and leave her some love - she is so talented. 

Here is the challenge  for the "Seeing Stars" challenge and I hope you'll play along with us. 
"Seeing Stars" Challenge: We are celebrating Independence Day here in the US this week. The anticipation of the fireworks display has me seeing stars. It is all I can think about :) Your challenge this week is to create a CAS card or project that features star shapes. Big, little, single, multiple..whatever sticks in your mind. It can be any colors or theme that you want. Let's get star struck with CAS flair!

For my card, I used GKD PL Black Onyx and White CS.  I put the while layer through my stars CB EF, "Stars" and then stamped Tami Mayberry's "Stars" stamp set by Gina K Designs. (Do you see a pattern here???)
The tiny stars were made using scrap cs with a $1.00 punch I found at Michaels (gotta love those dollar bins!).

Thanks for stopping by! 
Have a great week and HAPPY 4TH TO ALL AMERICANS!!!

Here's my card  using Repeat Impressions Stamps #4206-K "Kisa 2" and #6103 for the sentiment.  I just love that adorable Kisa's face.   When I lived on a farm we had "barn cats" and their soul duty was to keep the rodent population down.  I always loved this unique team of "cat seals".  They were stealth and gorgeous because they were all different in color and design. 

So join me and the the other Repeat Impression Rock Stars and get your What If? Wednesday sketch on and have some fun with this sketch. Visit my talented DT friends and see their fabulous creations!!!!
