OCTOBER 2016 DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello, hello!!!!  

Another weekly challenge coming to you from The House That Stamps Built and this is a Designer's Choice Challenge and the Rock Star (she truly is) bring us this challenge is my friend, Patti J.  Her challenge is to create a project around food or drink.  

Grab something yummy and/or your favorite beverage and join us! 

 It's fall here in Maine and the days are getting chilly....sometimes, in the afternoon, I like to brew some tea and take a few minutes to enjoy the fall colors while sitting on my front porch.  I was thinking about those moments when I created this card.  

Used here are RI Stamps #4616-C "Tea Cup", 4523-C "Heart Tea Cup" (I masked the heart off), and 4517-F "Tea Pot".  The sentiment is a partial stamping of RI #410-H "Simple Pleasures".  

We hope you'll join the DCC challenge this week.  Please check out the details for the challenge at The House.  

For more inspiration you will love to see what these talented ladies have created.

SEPTEMBER 2016 DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE

Hey there, blog friends....

Heather is hosting a Designer's Choice Challenge for us this week at The House That Stamps Built.  Her challenge is "Happy Birthday".  

When I was creating this card, I was hoping to get a "dreamy" like focal image with watercoloing.  I first wet the watercolor paper then inked my stamp and stamped it on the wet surface.  I did a first and second generation stamping for each image.  

I started with a watercolor of RI Stamps #10305-F "Striped Flower Solid".  I made a mask the same size as the forefront panel and stamped the flowers and leaves from RI #10204-D "Leaf Cluster Solid" and  RI# 10207-E "Flower Cluster Solid".  The sentiment is a partial from RI #2502-I "Wishing you Joys".  

Come on over and join myself and all the Rock Stars in Heather's challenge.  Check out what they've done.

                            Deonna - Heather - Joy - Kathy - Laurie - Patti J - Shirley

Details for the challenge and how to enter and what you can win by entering can be found at The House.  I hope you'll get a chance to join us and if you're celebrating a birthday this month....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
