Summertime on the Beach~ All Dressed Up Stamps

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUMMER is almost over and I can't wait until I smell the first crisp Autumn breezes.  But, until then, we're enjoying all of our WARM creations over at All Dressed Up Stamps!  This image is called Beach Time and can be found here in the Store.  This is for our monthly Challenge which will run until the 14th of the next month.  Come JOIN US!!

I LOVED putting this one together-wanting to stick with pastel shades with my copics.  I tried a little different effect with my clouds this time and am quite happy with them. Hoping to get the Postage Stamp effect with my die from my stash.  A few opaque colored dots for accents.  I always try to finish the inside of my cards-this paper reminded me of water bubbles.  And I used a stamp from my stash.

 

 

 

It's Raining Hearts on Sherri Baldy's Blog with Img 235

My latest creation for Sherri Baldy's Blog today is called Img 235  Raining Hearts.  It just cheered me up working on her in this oppressive HEAT we've had in Illinois!
I used a blue glaze on her for the glasses, a wooden LOVE Embellie,
3 orange "Twinkle Goosebumps" , and a section of paper lace.
On the inside a simple but meaningful sentiment.  This card will be going to a dear friend that will be leaving the office shortly.  She will be missed !!!
Check out Sherri's Store and find your own special image that conveys all your feelings.  She's got hundreds of them!

Dreaming Scape-Summer Holiday

Bugaboo sponsors Come and Get It for an ATG Challenge & Prizes!

 This week over at Come and Get It Challenge, we are so happy to share images from Bugaboo!  Our challenges are always ATG so you all can participate and share your creations! 
I always think of rain slickers being yellow and you'd wear red boots so that's how I colored it with Copics.  I also used some glossy accents on the rain puddles on the umbrella and under his feet.  They look so wet-it's great!  I had the perfect paper for the card-these dancing umbrellas that even have a little glitter on some of their edges.  Then on the reverse side of the paper was the phrase "rain rain go away..." which I used for the split front.  Grosgrain ribbon was glued on the seam for an accent color.  I used a metal shaped sentiment that a friend gave me in a swap and then I used some Bling Teardrops as raindrops.

Rainy Days go away! Puddle Bug wants to come out and play at 2 CuteInk!

 Our theme at 2 CuteInk this week is ~Water~ so of course I thought of RAIN and one of Heidi's adorable images called Puddle Bug.  Doesn't she look so CUTE(ink) with her perky umbrella and boots?

I used some great paper from my stash that when you place it horizontally, it could be used for scenes with Pools BUT when placed vertically, what perfect paper for RAIN!  I used a scrap from a digital image from Fred she Said that was depicting a sidewalk-so so lucky to have that.  I've been really drawn to using these tear-drop crystals (from the wedding aisle in HL-by David Tutera) as rain drops-they are SO reflective!

On the inside,I used a grouping of flowers and dragonfly from Fred she Said also from my stash.  The sentiment comes from Doodle Pantry and the generalized statement could be used for many different things.  So you can see it took many different elements to pull this card together! 
We've heard through a little birdie that hopefully very soon Heidi will be including a sentiment with her images, probably randomly, but how exciting!!  Then you will have a complete project with one purchase!

Be sure and show us your creations this week on our Challenge Blog!  We can't wait to see what you've done!
