Vellum Butterfly

Hello!  Having fun today with an old Butterfly stamp set from Gina K Designs.  I stamped a Butterfly on clear Vellum with Memento Black Ink and Heat embossed with Black EP.  I colored it with Memento Markers on the back and fussy cut when it was totally dry.   I attached to a White CS with Vellum tape and added a strip of Shiny Orange Gloss CS that I embossed with CB Polka Dots EF. Finished by stamping sentiment and doing some doodling.
Challenges:
ModSquad Challenge: Butterflies or Rainbows. I chose butterfly.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Fun with Scribbles and Doodles

Welcome to my studio!  Today I am a Guest Designer at City Crafter Challenge.  The theme for  week 282 is Scribble Doodle Fun (make a project that include a scribble or doodle... it could be your scribble stamp, die, or simply just doodling on your project). See the inspiration photo below:

 

 

 

 This is my card that I have made using a doodle stamp, an image that I doodled and colored, and a doodled sentiment.  Do you know the definition of doodle is 1. To draw or sketch aimlessly, especially when preoccupied. 2. To kill time; dawdle....To draw (figures) while preoccupied. ....A figure or design drawn or written ?

  I also used some pattern paper that has doodles/scribbles. 

 

When I was a child, I used to doodle primitive looking flowers such as the one I drew for my card.  I drew the flower with a Black Zig pen and colored with pencils.  I stamped a border on each side of the image with a Border Stamp from Mixed Media stamps by Julie Nutting.  I doodled the Happy Birthday sentiment.  I placed the image off center on the Pattern Paper layer from MME Collectible Remarkable pad so more of the doodles and scribbles could be seen.  The yellow card base is from my stash of papers.

 

This second card below was totally designed and created with Photoshop and printed on white cardstock and then mounted on yellow card base after I printed the sides with a doodle design

 

I am entering the card above in Happy Little Stampers Sketch Challenge for October.

 

 

I still doodle sometimes if a pencil and paper are available and I am bored.  Are you a Doodler? 

Thanks to City Crafter and their designers for having me as a guest.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by the studio.  I appreciate all comments

Thanks, Theresa

Colorful Summer Dragonfly

Summer is coming to an end soon but the dragonflies are still in the garden.   The ones that we have are a beautiful iridescent blue and green that I have tried to capture on my card.  I had forgotten this PSX stamp until I saw my friend Joy's Dragonfly card on her blog here and  I pulled out the stamp to play with.  I also was inspired by this week's challenge at Just Us Girls to use blues and greens.  I colored the image with Glaze pens .....which gave a very shiny finish. Added some doodling with the black glaze pen. Added Pear Tart coloring to the edge of the image and looped edge ribbon to finish.  I thought the pattern paper was a perfect combo.

Challenges:
Just Us Girls: Blues, Greens and any Neutrals
Simon Wednesday: Simon says Summer

A New Sunrise-A New Day

Welcome! I hope you are warm and cozy today.  This is one cold winter in Ohio!!  There are several challenges in blog land for Something New, meaning use new techniques or supplies, etc. I have this Repeat Impression stamp of a sunrise which I have never used.....thought it was appropriate since every day brings a new sunrise and a new beginning.  I decided to put it to use using a technique new to me...the Chalkboard Technique.  I stamped the image and sentiment (also Repeat Impressions) with versamark ink on Black Cardstock and heat embossed with White EP. I then sponged on some Brilliance Moonlight ink to give more of the chalkboard look. I colored in the sun with a yellow pencil and added some doodling with a  Sukura  White Gelly Roll pen . I am not sure if the doodling really adds anything but gave it a try for the first time. My DH selected the pattern paper since I had a hard time choosing one. Finished the card with White Card Base and the pattern paper from a Pebbles Paper pad which is also new.

Challenges:
The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge 11-New to you.  Used new technique, new paper.
Simon Says: Something New-used new paper and my theme is A New Sunrise-A New Day
The Paper Players: A Clean Slate-use Chalkboard Technique

You can find a lot about how to do the Chalkboard technique online.
I do not endorse products but the Sukura White Gelly roll Pen is great for writing on dark cardstock and I tried a lot of white pens before finding this one.

I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa

Too Much Fun

Today I have another fun card made with a Doodle Pantry Digi image and sentiment from the Snowman Pile-up Set that I recently received for playing in their current challenge.  I used a sketch from Sweet Sunday's Challenge to create my card.  I printed the colored digi image of the Snowmen  and cut out with a SB circle die.  I used a yellow card base with a mat of DCWV Striped paper----this really picked up colors in the image... and then a mat of glossy blue CS embossed with Cuttlebug EF Snowflakes. I love how the blue really made the image pop. I added some Frosted Lace and Crystal stickles to the image and did doodles around the edge with a blue gell pen. Added a yellow grosgrain ribbon and printed sentiment from the same digi set. I was pleased with how the colors fit together and the sparkle of the stickles. But do you think these snowmen might have mixed some moonshine in with their snow cones?  They look like they are having way too much fun.

Challenges:

Craft Your Passion: Theme is add some doodling. I'm not a good doodler but I gave it my best try.
