Tires Or Testicles

I did a watercolor wash and stamped the little truck twice and cut off the box to lift it up, layered that over the Roxs and popped it up. Added a stamped border and done! I hope the verse isn't too offensive but I got a laugh from it....

Stamps by Judith and Rubbernecker

Got The Blues?

I saw the new challenge at

is to make a card using the colors

blue and brown.

I used Distress inks for the colors and 

stamps by PTI

"Brushed Off"

"Signature Greetings II"

Added some twine and raffia

from my stash and there you have it.

LIM: Touchables

There is a new challenge at

"Less is More"

and it is to make something

TOUCHABLE

Imagine the possibilities!

Here is my card:

I cut the peacock with a die by Ellentina

from some glittery fun foam and

layered it on a label cut with die by SB.

I added a teal gem for an eye and used a corner rounder

and some dimensional tape.

This is certainly "touchable" and

really glitters IRL.

for lots of nifty ideas and samples.

LIM 285 Wine A Bit

A new challenge at

"Less is More"

This week we are to make art using

Repetitions.

Below is my work:

I began with a die by SB

"Fancy Tags" that I stamped the verse by

Art Impressions.

Then I cut some designer paper by

Prima "Fairy Flora" into a strip

which I threaded onto my tag

after I sponged some ink around edges.

When I had that centered I marked the

edge and stamped several bottles

by Bad Axe Trading Co.

I figured I had better quit before I

did too much and ruined that

"white" space...as I tend to do!

Check out the 

site to see the lovely samples over there!

LIM284 "Take Time"

This week's challenge over at

"Less is More"

is a one layer card with a "time" theme.

OLCs are so not my faves but I try.

I wanted to use something other than

clocks as it seems most think of these

with this sort of challenge.

So I went with a stencil by 

memorybox "Texture Shine"

I masked off some to keep that desired

white space and sponged Distress inks

"Mustard Seed" and "Spiced Marmalade".

The verse stamp is by MFP and those

tiny speckles are a stamp by Judith

(to hide a smudge of course).

Be sure to check out

to see all the nifty ideas there!

LIM#283 Kitchen Colors

A new challenge over at

This week is to make a CAS card using your 

kitchen colors.  Below is my card:

I paper pieced the little giraffe image

(by Art Impressions)

with some dp by DCWV "Safari Chic"

and sponged some Distress inks for a quick scene.

I popped the stitched frame 

(by Simon Says Stamp) after

inking the verse (by Stampendous).

I added a small flower for a sun to hide an oops.

It sort of looks like a sun?

And below is a pic of my kitchen and the colors.

You see the pottery on cab tops is from

New Mexico (the blues and greens),  walls are yellow and cabs are brown

LIM 282 Stencils

I was playing with a new purchase and see the

current challenge over at 

is stencils.  Yes!

I taped down a stencil by Tim Holtz

"Scribbles"

onto black cardstock panel and

applied some gold glitter paste

by Bo Bunny

(this stuff dries amazingly quick)

I layered that on some gold mirror card and then onto

more black.  I cut some shapes by 

The Paper Cut and adhered another diecut

by memorybox "thanks"

I went a bit overboard to be totally

CAS but I liked the results and they did

(sort of) fit the challenge so

that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
