DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hello blog friends!

We're here with another designer's choice challenge at Repeat Impressions/The House That Stamps Built and this week it's Geri's turn to challenge us.   Geri's challenge is a color challenge; to use 2 or more shades of blue on your card. 

How fun this challenge was.  I have a collection of blue papers that I rarely use (I don't know why), but this really inspired me to get them out and play with them. 

 

I have so many fave stamps from RI and this one is right up there on the top of the list.  Isn't this a cute snow kitty?  He's image #3813-M "Snowcat and Frends" and so much fun to color. 

 

We hope you'll play along with the Rock Stars and Geri's challenge - check out the link information at The House and post your card.  You'll be entered to win a $25.00 gift certificate for RI stamps.  If you use an RI stamp, you'll be entered in the drawing twice!!! 

 

Thanks for stopping by. 

 

 

 

 



STAMPTV CSS ALUMNI BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

Hi blog friends!!!

Welcome to the monthly StampTV CSS DT blog hop.  This challenge is a color challenge given to us by our own Linda Payne and the rules are to use non-traditional colors with absolutely no red or green. 

If you've come here from the uber talented Brenda's blog, you're in the right place.  If not, head on over to the beginning of the hop and see all the inspiration in order, so you don't miss one.  Because...if you visit each blog and leave a comment as you hop,  on Friday morning (December 21), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!   What a Christmas gift for you that will be!!!!! 

I don't have a lot of time these days, so my card is very simple to make - perfect for schedule.  It was made using Gina K Design Pure Luxury CS "Little Boy Blue" and White.  The white was put through an snowy ef and layered on the card base.  Using a Memory Box die "Country Landscape" on the same cs and layered that on the white panel.  I used the dove and sentiment from one of my favorite GKD Christmas stamp sets by Rupa Shevde, "The Magic of Christmas".  I first stamped the dove in Memento Nautical Blue ink, cut it with Spellbinder Classic Circle die and backed it with the scalloped circle die.  I then added glue and Stickles Dry Fine Glitter in "Waterfall" to the image and heat set it.  After mounting it with pop-dots to the front of the image, I then added Stickles glue "Watherfall" to the outline of the dove and the die at the base.   The sentiment was also stamped in the Memento Nautical Blue ink. 

Thank you for stopping by, good luck with the blog hop....I hope you win!   Now head on over to the fabulously talented Geri for more inspiration with Linda's color challenge.

What If? Wednesday at Repeat Impressions!!

We're rock'n those challenges this week, blog friends! 

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a What If? Wednesday sketch challenge at The House That Stamps Built. 

Every two weeks, Wendy provides us with a sketch and challenges us to create a card with it. What's in it for you?  We hope you'll play along with us and if you, once you've linked up your creation on the blog page, you'll be entered in the drawing to win $25.00 gift certificate for some fabulous Repeat Impressions Stamps.  AND if you use RI stamps in your creation....you'll be entered in the drawing twice!  So come along and play with us. 

Here's Wendy's WIW sketch and what I created using it...

 

 

For this card I used RI Stamp #309-N "Winter Birds".  I love these little birds, their faces are so dang cute and they're so much fun to color! 

 

I embossed two layers with diffrernt ef.  One layer is cs and the other is dp which I distressed with DI, Antique Linen.  I also cut a ribbon of cs in the sand color and ran it through a ef too.  I used a MS pine branch punch and Copic Markers to color the birds and blend a "sky" bg.  The tiny pine cone is one of hundreds I collected last fall at our cabin at the lake.  I added just a touch of Stickles Crystals to it. 

 

That's it....thanks for stopping by.  Now it's your turn....we hope you'll play along with us - here are my Rock Star teamies to give you tons more inspiration.
