Growing in Unity Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on the Growing in Unity Blog Hop.  If you came from Laura Mooney's blog, you are heading in the right direction.  If you just happened upon my blog today, I'd recommend starting at the Unity blog and comment along the way for your best chance to win a prize!

I used two kits to create a birthday card today.  They are Blow Your Mind and Beautiful Elements.  Here's my card:

I love that huge flower!  The background is done with TH distress inks in Salty Ocean, Broken China and Worn Lipstick.  I then stamped the "mesh" with Dare 2B Artzy Chocolate Chip ink.  The flower is colored with Copic markers, Y00, Y13, Y15, Y18, Y19 and Y28.  I finished the card off with a Happy Birthday Sentiment from Elizabeth Craft Designs, some lace and Nuvo drops.

Your next stop on the hop is Aimee Phillips's blog.  Be sure to leave some bloggy love along the way for your best chance to win!  And thank you for stopping by today!

Woodland Pals

My design team sisters at Elizabeth Craft Designs create such adorable "scenes" from the stamps and have inspired me to give it a shot with the Woodland Pals stamps.  Here's what I did:

I used the Earth and Sky stencil to create the background with distress inks.  Then I stamped the images into the scene.  I used the watercolor cardstock for that piece.  I then stamped the images onto white cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers (Fox:  E11, E13, E15, W0, W2; Bunny:  C1, C3, R81; Bird:  Y06, Y08, YR14).  I fussy cut out the animals and glued them to the background and then colored in the tree.  I added some pearls embellishments and the silver borders.

Be Bold

It's my day over at Dare 2B Artzy, and today, I'm sharing a card that stretched my creative boundaries a bit using Totally Tracy Chipboard and the Be Bold Stamps.

For the background, I used a TH stencil with distress ink in Fossilized Amber and Dried Marigold.  For the flower, I used TH distress paints in Spun Sugar and Dried Marigold.  The Dare 2B Artzy Totally Black ink stamped that dark pretty flower image, and the center is Nuvo Drops.  I painted the whole flower with crackle paint.

SMILE if you LoVe Cute Bears!

I'm  loving all the stamps over at Elizabeth Craft Designs....and I've purchased a whole slew of their fun dies too!  Today, I used the cute bear in the Zoo Babies set to create this:

The bear is colored with E41, E42, E43, E44, RV66 and RV69.  I splattered some Dylusions ink on the background and dabbed my colorless blender into RV66 to add the color to the flowers.  I also used RV66 to create the dot pattern on the "Smile" die-cut sentiment (that I cut three times and glued together to add dimension).

The circle background die is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I adhered a piece of clear-double sided adhesive to the paper before die-cutting it.  Then....I added some of the beautiful fine glitter.  Here's a short video to show you the pretty goodness of the glitter:

Butterfly Happy Birthday

As some of you know, I manage Arts Departments at a local university.  Basically, I'm the rules person in the room amongst all the artists!  Some of the staff I supervise mentioned that they like my crafts, so I started a "crafter-lunch" where I bring the supplies and teach one card for anyone who wants to show up.  Today's card features some cool new dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs:

I don't do a lot of "non-coloring" cards, but my design team sisters at Elizabeth Craft Designs have inspired me.  I really like how it turned out and hope my staff do too.

Wish Flower

It's been raining stupid crazy in Northern California!  We have been in a drought for several years, and it's been painful to watch our flowers die and our lawns go "golden brown" due to lack of water.  Wellllll, I guess we got what we asked for, but now, I feel like we're all just going to float away!  When it rains, it pours and pours!

So, on rainy soppy days, I've been crafting!  My card today features a FuN stamp from Elizabeth Craft Designs called Flower Power.  I paired it with the Ready to Bloom and Circle Background dies:

I got some NEW Marvy Uchida watercolor sticks and colored the flower with them.  Not bad for a first attempt with a new toy, I think!

Wings of Joy Christmas

Christmas Card Challenges has a new (and optional) challenge this week.

This week's challenge is a color challenge.  I had a hard time with this particular challenge; the colors are not in my normal wheelhouse.  The good news is that challenges are left open for a little interpretation.  Here's mine:

I used the adorable image Angelic Wings image from Tiddly Inks.  The paper is Recollections North Pole Gazette.  I used the following Copic markers:

Dress:  C1, C3 (and a Wink of Stella Marker too!)

Reach for the Stars

Happy Friday!  I'm having such fun with the new stamps (and many new-to-me) dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  There's a fun variety - something for everyone.  Go check them out!

Today, I used Jungle Cuties for this card:

The monkey is colored with Copic markers:  W0, W2, Y21, Y23, E31, E33, V20, V22, and the leaves are colored with G40, G43.  For the frame around the image, I cut a fitted rectangle from the dove grey soft finish cardstock adhered the image to it.  I then used two of the stitched rectangles to cut the upper frame from the perfect purple soft finish cardstock.  I used pop tape to adhere it.

Then, I created the background with the little dots that come with the stamps and colored them with Y23, G43, and V22.  How fun is the background?  I wasn't terribly careful with lining it up or coloring the dots in any order, and I like the random feel of it!  I stamped a sentiment from the Dream Sentiments set and die cut it with the circles dies.  Then, I die cut a dove grey dotted scallop circle and just used it as a little off-set.  Here's a close-up of the background:

Snow Christmas

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas Card Challenges.  The (always optional) challenge prompt this week is an image of horses in snow.

I had a hard time with this one, but inspiration comes in all sorts of ways.  Here's what I made being inspired by the light/white, snow and horses (which I changed to a horse-like animal).
