Color Throwdown #100

Good Wednesday Morning everyone!   I want to announce that  Just For Fun Stamps will be one of the many sponsors for this week's Color Throwdown celebrating 100 Color Challenges! Just for Fun will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate which you will find on Broni's blog, Splashes of Watercolor. bronih.typepad.com/splashesofwatercolor/  Come play along as we celebrate 100 Challenges!

These colors have been so much fun to play with.  You now how I have grown to love pink!  Why don't you also play along this week!  Just create a card/project using these colors and then go to the Color Throwdown Blog http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/ and link to your project/card there.  There are lots of fun prizes being offered for this milestone and all the rules and requirements are listed there!   So get busy creating and I look forward to seeing what you create there!  Now here is my card....

I used Spellbinders Labels Ten scooted up over a folded piece of card stock to cut the base, then cut another label to glue to the front of the card so it would have the top scallop on the front.  My designer paper from my stash has blue, green, red and pink in it.  Then lots of layers of card stock and the top layer was stamped with JFF Stamps F2716-Queen Ann's Lace and H3170-Alpha Sayings.  I masked each stamp and just used parts of them.  You can purchase these at:  www.jffstamps.com   I made my flower and spritzed it with Glimmer mist.

Just For Fun Friday Challenge #14

Good Friday Morning everyone!  I hope you are Up and Ready to Go!  Since it is Friday, it is again time to challenge your creativity!!  KAT has chosen  Monochromatic: Shades of Any One Color  for today's challenge!  Come play with us!  Just make a card/project using these colors and JFF stamps if you have them.... if you don't have any of these stamps just use what you have...then go to the JFF blog site http://jffstamps.typepad.com/jffstamps/ and link your card or project using the Mister Linky at the bottom of the post.  We look forward to seeing what you will come up with!  We love having you play with us each week!

Here is my card for this week's challenge.  I used the JFF stamp #A3195 (Trudy) for my image.  You can find this stamp at the JFF website http://jffstamps.com.  When you visit, you will see they have some amazing stamps!

Now, back to my card...I made the background on my card stock base using Pearl Andirondack Acrylic paint and a piece of Saran wrap.  You just dab the paint on glossy card stock and then let it dry.  Next you add some ink to give the color you want.  I used Ranger Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet....it made it a nice pink color, just what I needed for my shades of pink card.  Next layer is some lace from my stash (I think I found this at Walmart and I sponged some Victorian Velvet ink onto the edges of that.  Next layer, I used
card stock sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in  Vintage Pink, and Pearl.  I ran it through my Cuttlebug with a folder to emboss.  Then I used Spellbinders Dies to cut my three layers   to set up my image.  I used paper from my stash and did different things to add texture.  One layer was run through the Cuttlebug and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist, one was sponged with Victorian Velvet Ink and then my image was sponged with Victorian Velvet ink also.  My roses are also homemade using a twisted paper technique and they were distressed and also got a spray of Glimmer Mist.  The Leaves are a Spellbinders die that was sponged with Distress Ink.   Whew....I'm getting long winded!   I hope you enjoy it!  Now let's see what you come up with!!

You might also like to visit the other DT Members Blogs and see what they did.  You will not be disappointed.  If you like what you see, just leave a comment!  There is a lot of talent on this DT!!

Bookmark.....

Good morning all...I'm back this morning to share with you my take on a corner bookmark that I talked about yesterday.  Here is my take on this ...I used the design printed from  http://outtoimpress.blogspot.com/

I just followed the link to the pattern listed in this blog and printed the pattern.  I used Scrapperdashery paper (Love is Patient) and cut out the pattern.  Then I ran it through my cuddlebug with an embossing folder and I used Ranger Distress Ink in Aged Mahogany and then I sprayed with Irridesent Gold Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  Next I added the braid and a small pendant from Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Pendants.  I topped everything off with a pearl glued on with Rangers Glossy Accents.

Now I have a little gift for a friend who loves to read!  I hope you enjoy!

Supplies:

Scrapperdashery Love Is Patient Paper

Cuttlebug Folder

Ranger Distress Ink - Aged Mahogany

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Irridesent Gold

Ranger Glossy Accents

Score Tape

Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Die

Pearl out of my stash

Just For Fun Stamps Friday Color Challenge!

Good Friday Morning!! It is again time for our weekly color challenge over at Just For Fun Stamps. Come play with us!  Just make a card/project using these colors-Turquoise, Rust and Cream.  You don't have to use Just For Fun Stamps if you don't have them. Then go to the JFF blog http://jffstamps.typepad.com/jffstamps/ and add a link to your card using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of the page.  We really love having you play along with us!

My card for today is using the JFF stamp F2714 Wildflower Silhouette.  I stamped on black cardstock with white craft ink and colored with watercolor pencils then added just a dot of white ink to make it pop; I cut out with Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large and lined with a gold leafing pen.  Next layer is Spellbinder Fleur De Lis Pendants (two of them).  The next layer is a homemade paper using pearl acrylic paint and Ranger Distress Ink (Pumice Stone)  Silk ribbon from my stash and yes, I did tie my own bow this time.  Last layer is tissue paper colored with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and my homemade mist using Ranger Distress Re-inkers for Broken China and water.  I don't have a lot of paper; when I purchase it is always the wrong color or pattern or something, so most of the time I just make my own ....that way I can control the color,texture and I do much better that way. 

My tag uses the Music stamp from JFF Stamps.  I stamped and used Ranger Rusty Hinge and Vintage Paper Distress Ink  to color.  I set it on some paper from my stash of sheet music which has the distress ink used on it also.  The base tag is winkle free distress and then some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist sprayed on to make it shine.  I took a star button cover off a blouse and added it to the tag.  The ribbon part is jute that was braided. 

OK, now you have seen my card and tag ....below is a list of participating designers from Just For fun Stamps.  Just click on their names and it should take you to their blogs where you can see their projects.  Trust me, you will be pleasantly surprised, and you will enjoy every minute of your journey!  I hope to see your designs link on the JFF blog!

Oh yeah!  It is Friday and I'm getting ready for the weekend....It is almost here.  Enjoy and remember to take time to breathe!
