Coloring Challenge Day 9

Today's card comes from a technique on Jennifer McGuire's blog.

I stamped the flowers in Versamark and then heat embossed them

with white embossing powder.

Then I took purple distress ink and went over the whole page.

I then took a brush with water and went over the flowers.

After they dried and the color was lighter, I put some

blue distress ink on my craft sheet and used a paint brush

dipped in water and painted the flowers.  I did the same with 

green distress ink in the centers.

A little washi tape and a sentiment,

and there you have it!!!

Enjoy!

Coloring Challenge Day 8

Today's card is a simple card using a new stamp I got.

I stamped the image with black ink and then heat

embossed it with clear embossing powder.

I then went over the whole oval with distress ink and a sponge.

I did not have a lot of time to craft today as I went out to lunch

 and shopping with my friend Kim to celebrate her birthday!

Coloring Challenge Day 7

Today is Super Bowl Sunday.

Not much time for crafting,

so I put this card together real quick.

This stamp is from Close To My Heart

and I got it from my friend Ronni.

I should have made the card in orange in blue for my team.

Go Broncos!

Coloring Challenge Day 6

I got this retired Stampin Up set at a yard sale.

It was brand new and never used and I got it for $1.

I picked it up last Fall and it has never been inked since.

I decided today to get it out and start playing.

Here is the end result for today's coloring challenge.

Enjoy!

Coloring Challenge Day 5

Today's card is a time consuming one but the results are always beautiful!

I used a negative image stamp and stamped it with Versafine ink.

Then I heat embossed my image with white embossing powder.

I put some distress inks on a craft sheet and dipped a water brush 

in them to color the flowers.

I stamped the craft paper with some white flowers to make my image pop a little.

My sentiment is from Hobby Lobby.

I learned this technique from a class I took at Archiver's when I first started card making.

I thought it was so difficult then.

Now it is just super fun!

Oh how far I have come in card making!

Coloring Challenge Day 4

Here is a quick card I made today for the coloring challenge.

I am sick as a dog with bronchitis so I went with simple and easy.

I am not good with masculine cards, so I thought I would

do today's card in masculine colors.

Coloring Challenge Day 3

On today's card I colored my stamp with Ranger distress markers.

I then spritzed the stamp with water and then stamped it on white card stock

I added a ribbon and a sentiment and I thought it turned out pretty good.

The Stamp is made by Penny Black.
