Tellen's Challenge #17 Use a Tag on your project

Good morning, I can't believe that anotherWednesday has rolled around so soon. Does it feel like time is flying by us really fast? But, never the less, if it is Wednesday then it must be time for another Tellen's Place challenge. This week it's tags. You can make a set of tags as some of the DIVAs have done or like me, you can add a tag to your card. My card is to welcome a new little girl into the world.

The sketch is from Papertake Weekly, but it was over yesterday.  Maybe it will fit into the challenge at Secret Crafters 3 embellishments, 2 papers, 1 image. The image is from Tellen's Place Designs, Terry offers lots of choices. Don't forget to go by and check out the Tellen's Place Divas, you will be really surprised at the great talent on this team. I colored this image with my copics.  E13, E11, R83, RV04, RV11, R81, E25 and my spica pink glitter pen. The DP paper is from Hobby Lobby, the pink that I embossed is from my scrap pile. The baby folder from Cuttlebug. the roses are from my stash. The die cut is from a stash that I won last year and the ribbon is from my stash. Well, that is it. I hope you like my card.

Khaki, Aqua, Brown and Cream

I can't believe I have finished a card on Tuesday. But, I did.  And it has some of my favorite colors in it. Also, you must know that if I am making cards on Tuesday it has got to be for a challenge or several challenges. Oh Yeah!!! First up is the sketch. It is from Sketch and Stash Challenge Blog

Colour Create Khaki, Aqua, Brown and Cream

Pixie Dust Studios use Kraft

Crafty Hos' Challenge Blog Shade of blue and neutral

Sophisticat Challenge Blue, Brown and cream

Papertake Weekly Challenge Shiny, Sparkly and Special

I think that my card can handle each of these challenges so lets get to it. Here is my card.

I thought getting better lamps would make a difference in my pictures. I used to ott lights to light this, but it still looks dark to me. Well, as you can see I used Tilda with ice cream for my image. I colored it with my copics. and have had it sitting on my desk for weeks. But, I am sure that most of you can tell that all I used were my earth tones except for the hair and for that I useW3 and W5. My papers are Bazzill and the cream paper  is just something from my stash. On the ice cream I used R11 and some glossy accents. The bling is from my stash as are the flowers. The tag is from Spellbinders fancy tags. I embossed some of the paper with the swirls folder and my Cuttlebug.

More Birthday Wishes

Earlier I posted a birthday card that I entered into several challenges. One of the challenges (the one for Inktegrity Designs should have been a very basic card. Mine had lots of bling and papers. I decided to make another card to fit the challenge. The sketch was theirs.

Now this better fits the challenge.

Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday, I have to say it is good to get something finished. I was out of the house all day yesterday and did not make a thing. Yesterday I spent the day at our regional airport watching the Air Show featuring the Blue Angels, who literally played tag in the air. Those guys are wonderful. I saw more planes and acrobatics than I have seen in a long time. It is amazing what they can make those planes do in the air. I had a good time, but, I am glad to be back playing with my papers.

This card is a birthday card and of course I have a few challenges that I want to enter it in. The sketch I used was from Inktegrity Designs but I think they will probably disqualify my entry. I have to much bling and just realized it. It was supposed to focus on the image and basics. So I think that means no bling. I will have to do another for them. But, here is the sketch.

The other challenges are:

 The TownScrappers Pink and Purple

Stamp Something Birthday Something

Whoopsi Daisy As you like it

Fab N' Funky  Fancy Edges

Digital Tuesday A Toast to You

Pixie Cottage Make your own charms

PaperPlay Challenges Digi and Bling

Now a little about my card. My image is from The Stamping Boutique. I do love the images that Tracey has to offer. You should go by and check them out. I colored it with copics. E25, E13, E11, E21, BV04, BV11, BV00, E59, E53. My papers are from the Paper Studio so sweet pad, Bazzill for the card base and other card stock. The paper with baking items is also from Hobby Lobby. The charms were cut on my Cricut and they actually have little holes in them. The bling is from my stash. The birthday sentiment is from TPC Studio. and the make a wish sentiment is from Inkadinkado. Well here is my card.

I hope that you like my card and that you leave me lots of love.

BUTTERFLIES! BUTTERFLIES! FAIRY AND MORE

Happy middle of the week. It is Wednesday (hump day), why do they call it hump day? I have never understood that all. What I do understand is that it is two days until the weekend. And if it is Wednesday, that means that it is time for another Tellen's Place challenge. The Tellen's Place Divas have been hard at work to bring you some great inspiration. Take a moment and stop by the DT blogs, you can get there from my sidebar. Leave a little love and let them know that they are apprecited. This week it is butterflies and dragonflies. One or the other or maybe even both. I have chosen a lovely image from Tellen's Place Designs she is the cutest little fairy I have seen in a long time. And if you go by the store you will find lots of great images to choose from. Plus there are mini kits and other treasures to be had. My card is colored with copics, E25, E13, E11, E21 for skin. I am trying new things. R11, R20, Rv14. Spica glitter pen, pink. The paper is from The Paper Studio so-so sweet pad. the card base is Bazzill. the butterflies were cut on my Cuttlebug, with my Spellbinders shapeabilities butterflies. It was bought on clearance and I am so glad to have it. I love the look of my butterflies. The smaller butterfly is from my stash.I cut the ovals on my Cricket. and embossed it with the swirls folder from Cuttlebug. I actually intend to make a wand to put in the fairies hand and make this a birthday card that says make a wish. Well, I am going to keep this post short. So here is my card.

The sketch for this card is from Crazy 4 Challenges

And I plan to enter it into a challenge at Whoopsi Daisy Challenge  (used to be Cute Daisy May) Linnie took a break and came back with a new name and new images check out her store Whoopsi Daisy Designs I love her images and I am really glad that she is back. Her challenge is now monthly and this first one is "As you like it" and you can enter it more than once. I will also be entering this card in a challenge over at Flutter by Wednesday  butterflies, fairy, angel. One more challenge would be at Crafty Creations something magical. I think a Fairy would qualify. Well that is it for now. I hope that you like my card.

BUTTERFLY TILDA

Good evening, well the weekend is almost over. And I have not done very much work at all. This is the first card that I have actually finished in two days. Yesterday was just a really dreary day and I spent a lot of time dealing with the realities which are my life. This did not leave a lot of time for play. I did do a little coloring and try a few new coloring techniques. Some I liked, some I didn't. This Tilda has been laying on my desk for a couple of weeks along with several other images. but, it is like my mojo took a vacation. I will be glad when it comes home.

Anyway, I made this card to enter into several challenges. The first is the sketch from Just Magnolia,

I liked the simplicity of this one. I made it into an easel card. I used Butterfly Tilda. The next challenge is at Fab N' Funky no DP. The next is Paper Play Challenges pretty pastels. Let's not forget, I love Digi Challenge thank you card. Flutter by Wednesday butterfly, angel, fairy. I would also like to enter this card in a challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy, It used to be Cute Daisy May, I am so glad that Linnie is back. She came back with a new name and new images. This first challenge is as you like it. And you don't have to use her image this time, you can use any image. The challenges are also going to be monthly instead of weekly. I think I like that. Well, here is my card.

I am not really happy with my skin tone. I am finding it really hard to work with more than to colors. But, I guess practice makes perfect. I colored this image with my copics. The card stock is all from Bazzill. The bling is from my stash and the ribbon is also. I found the butterflies in my embellishments. They are something that I bought from the clearance shelf at Hobby Lobby, they were marked $.38 for about 30 small butterflies in pink and black. The copics used were E21, E25, E11., BV00, BV02 Bv17, W3. I used crystal stickles on the wings along with metallic gel pens for the colors. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I used my Cuttlebug for emblossing and nesstibilities for cutting out the sentiment. I have a flourish stamp which I used around the sentiment.

Well, this is it. I hope you like my card.
