Lexi's Creations Challenge #14 DT Card

Well, it's Monday and were half-way through May already, can you believe it! It's also time for another cahallenge over at Lexi's and this week we have a sketch for you.

Here's the sketch

Here's my take on it

Personally, I have a really hard time with sketches, but I think this is a really good one and once I FINALLY got my papers picked it all went pretty smothly. So, this is 'Ellie blowing bubbles' and you can get her at Lexi's Doodles...isn't she cute!!!

Here's a closer look. I don't know why I colored her pink, but for some reason I really wanted to do a pink elephant and I think she turned out pretty good. Also, you can't really see it in the pic, but I've put some glossy accents glue on those bubbles and it really looks cool in person. I'll list the recipe below. The winner this week gets a 10Voucher to One Stop Card Crafts. Thanks for stopping and make sure you check out the rest of the DT cards, you won't want to miss them!

Have a great day!

Club Anya: Because I said So

I came across a fun challenge at Club Anya the other day and just had to join in. This challenge was posted on Mother's Day and is called Because I Said So. We are to let our kids pick our ingredients and see what we can come up with. So, here is what I made:

I got really lucky here when my four year old picked the papers. I thought having him pick the papers was gonna be a bad move, but he was only interested in looking through one pad, so they all match, yay! My two older boys were supposed to pick the stamp, but they couldn't agree , so my youngest chose from their two and so we have Soldier Ian

Here's a close-up of Ian. I have to say I didn't know what I was gonna do with at soldier card, but, my husband does happen to be a soldier so I figured I'd make it their Father's Day card.

I had one boy choose a punch...It's a good thing I don't have a lot of them. Then I let them all choose an embellishment. Right away my Jake said,"I want that", and pointed to the ribbon...one down. My oldest Hunter took a little more time deciding and wanted to look through everything. He started picking out rhinestones and had bunches of them and that's when I decided I was going to have to limit the number of embellies they chose or I'd never have enough room! I said he could choose three things and he picked three rhinestones. My youngest picked flowers, a red one and two pink ones at first, then, my oldest said they don't match and I told him if he wanted them to match he had to talk to his bro about it and if he didn't want to change them we wouldn't. Well, he got lucky and Alex picked 2 new colors.

That's it for this, I guess. Sorry this has been kind of wordy, but I thought it would be fun to post the story behind the card. I didn't get the copics photographed but I'll list them up here later. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed my card and the story behind it.

Edited to add copics
E:000, 11, 33, 50, 51, 53, 57,49
R00, B21, C7, 100
G:12, 24, 28
For the really dark green I added C7 and 100 to the greens I used

Have a great day!

Jovi with Girl from SMC

I'm finally back and had a little time to craft today in between taking care of the fam and taking my daughter to the Doctor's. My DD is still not doing so great and had to have a chest x-ray today...not fun for a baby! Anyway, today, I have Jovi with Girl from this year's March release at Sew Many Cards.

Here is a close-up. I've had this image colored up for a while now and did not write down the colors, sorry about that.

The DP are from DCWV Spring stacks, flowers are Bobunny, and the glimmer on her is embossing powder. There will be a sentiment on here, but I couldn't decide which one to use so it will come later. Well, that's it for me today, as I still have tons to catch up on and my DD is actually sleeping so I gotta make use of the time. Hope everyone is having a great week!

SMC Challenge # 13 DT Card

Happy Friday folks! Today, it's time for another challenge at Sew Many Challenges, and we wanna see some Christmas projects! The sponsor this week is Stitchybear Stamps and the challenge winner will get three free stamps from Stitchybear Stamps. I chose to make a simple card today as I generally make some 50 cards for Christmas so I need something easily reproduced.

Here is my Hershey in stocking

I colored Hershey with my copics(pic below), embossed the white parts with some snow embossing powder, and scattered some pearls around him to resemble a snow fall. That's it, short and sweet and ready to be done a bunch of times.

Here are the copics I used. The card base is a DCWV A5 card from a Christmas pack. That's it for me, make sure you stop by the rest of the DT to see their creations. You won't here from me again until next week as I'm taking a little vacation(I'm actually on it right now). Hope everyone has a great weekend and we'll see you back here next week. Don't forget to check the Sew Many Challenges blog to see if you've won my image, Kasey the Kangaroo, from last weeks blog hop.

Thanks for stopping by,

Autumn
