Some Really Exciting News to Share!!!

I'm really excited to let you know that I have just accepted another Design Team position with a relatively new stamp company called Loves Rubberstamps.  http://www.lovesrubberstamps.net/   Laura, the owner, carries a lot of wonderful stamps that I haven't seen in other online stores such as Belles 'n Whistles, Elisabeth Bell Designs, Sweet Pea Stamps and Crafter's Companion in which she is the only USA distributor.She is adding /ordering lots of new stuff every week.  A lot of these stamps I didn't have, so guess I went a little overboard in ordering some of these amazing stamps. I can hardly wait for my order to come and use these stamps in my challenges. Next Week we start our Blog Challenges http://www.lovesrubberstampschallenges.com/ and we also have our inspiration blog as well. http://www.lovesrubberstamps.com/ Check out both of these blogs starting June 4th, 2012. Hope to see everyone there!!

DDC #12 - Card Sketch & A DT Call

Digi Darla's decided to do a DT call and they are looking for 4 new faces to add to their team. So I have decided to answer the DT call. This week challenge is to play with the above sketch and so here is my take. I started off using Early Espresso paper, cut it down to 5"x 7". Then I cut down Bundle of Joy to 4"x 6 3/4" using the second side which is the stripes and then used Lullaby paper again used the second side. I cut this paper 2 1/2"x 6 3/4".  All these papers are from Graphic 45 collection called "Little Darlings" which I absolutely love. I then used my Stampin'Up punch called Eyelet Border to make the border using Early Espresso paper. I used the Digital Stamp by DigiDarlas called 'Sweet Pea' and colored the image using Lyra Pencil Crayons. I added a bow by using Chocolate Chip 5/8 satin ribbon by Stampin'Up. I punch out a little baby using a 1" punch and the baby borders by Graphic 45 'Little Darlings'. I also punched out 1" chipboard circle. I adhered the baby onto the chipboard. I then pressed it down onto Top Boss embossing ink and applied clear embossing powder on top. I did this twice. I punch two holes and tied some sparkling thread in a bow. I added the sentiment from the Little Darlings Tags 2.
     

UPDATE:   I was one of three top picks for this                 Challenge!!!!

Anything Goes - keyword CHF01

Today is the first of many bi-weekly challenges at Cornish Heritage Farms, every member of the Design Team will take turns hosting a challenge. This week challenge host is Frances, our DT Coordinator, who has requested that "Anything Goes" for this week's challenge. So have a coffee and sit down and visit every member of the Design Team for their cards. Here is my card for this week challenge. I started off with 5"x 7" card size using bronze metallic paper for the base. I'm using the newest Bo Bunny release paper called 'Little Miss' which I happen to love. For the 2nd layer I used Little Miss 'Jaquoya' and 3rd layer I used Little Miss 'Lizzie' on my card which already had a birdcage on it so I went with it. I attached some Calypso Coral  Ruffle Ribbon before attaching to the base. I cut out the birdcage using Spellbinders 'Bird Sanctuary' using Bo Bunny's Coral Vintage paper and while it was still in the die I sponged Rose Coral Fluid Chalk on top. I shaped the birdcage before popping the image up using foam dots. I used the digital stamp called 'Bird #1 260F and printed him onto shimmery white paper along with the sentiment 'It's so nice... 1477-digi. I colored the bird using my prismacolor pencils using the following colors; 926, 925, 923, 942, 916, 1003, 917, 1099, 935, 946, 1092 and 941. I cut the Robin out leaving a little halo and tucked him into the birdcage. I added pearls to the birdcage along with some I am roses that were sprayed using Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray called  Ramblin' Rose Pink. I sponged some Rose Coral and Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk onto the sentiment and then cut out a frame using Spellbinders 'Lattice Rectangle' using Little Miss 'Jaquoya'.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ~ FTTC168

My challenge theme is *PINK-A-LICIOUS*…. your main color on your card/project has to be *PINK*. It can be anything from softer pink shades to bright pink colors. It has been long time since I have done a Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. So here is my card, I used bronze metallic paper for the base which

is a 5"x 7" finished card. I then used some scraps of paper that I have in my scrap bin for the next couple of layers. I then cut out oval using pink metallic paper using the Spellbinders die called 'Floral Ovals'. I stamped image by Flourishes set called "From the Desk of"onto shimmery white paper by Stampin'Up using black crafter's ink by Clearsnap and embossed using gold EP. I colored the image using Pretty in Pink reinker, Lucky Limeade reinker, Wisteria Wonder reinker and Tea Dye reinker by Tim Holtz using an aquapainter. I placed tiny pearls for the center of the flowers and then cut out my image using the 'Lacey Ovals' by Spellbinders. I found out why you add your pearls after you cut the image out. Otherwise the tiny pearls get a bit recessed into the paper. Oh well you live and learn I guess. I sponged some Orchid Pastel Fluid Chalk around the edges and added some Shabby Pink Smooch ink around the edges as well. I used some bigger pearls and Pretty in Pink satin ribbon bow for the corner. I stamped the sentiment from the same set 'From the Desk of" using black crafter's ink by Clearsnap and embossed using clear EP. I sponged Orchid Pastel Fluid Chalk and Chestnut Roan around the edges. I cut it out using Stampin'Up Largest Oval and then punch out another piece of paper using the Label Punch.
