Simon Says Monday Challenge: Anything Goes!

Here is my entry to Simon Says Monday Challenge: Anything Goes! I really struggled with this card.  I must have cut the front off and remounted this image several times. I won't even mention my horrible failed attempt at embossing.  I paper pieced this card and lost track of all the paper I used.  I can't begin to guess how many layers of paper and card stock I glued together.  I hope you enjoy, this card was a tough one!

 

Here is the list of supplies I used except for the numerous pieces of paper I lost track of.

1. Unity Stamp Company "Reach for the Stars" Phyllis Harris Stamp

2. Simon Says Stamp "All Boy" (Simon Says Card Kit)

3. Queen & Co "Twinkle Stars" (Simon Says Card Kit)

4. Simon Says Stamp "Lipstick Red" Ink Pad (Simon Says Card Kit)

5. Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad

 

Simon Says Monday Challenge: Scratched Up

Here is my entry into Simon Says Monday Challenge: Scratched Up. I knew I accomplished the challenge when my daughter took one look at my image and said she didn't like it because it looked scratched up and that she liked the other one better. I achieved my scratched look by embossing and water coloring my imaging.  This card was a lot of trial and error but over all I'm please with it. 

I used the following supplies
1. Unity Stamp Company "Queen of the Universe" Stamp
2. Winsor & Newton Sketcher's Pocket Box
3. Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Vintage Photo"
4. Ranger Archival Ink
5. Ranger Embossing Ink Pad "Clear"
6. Ranger Embossing Powder "Black"
7. Teresa Collins Paper Pad "World Traveler

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: In the Family

Here is my entry into Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: In the Family and Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday: Blue. Okay, you are probably wondering what ice cream has to do with family.  In my family we love ice cream.  I work 3rd shift so I don't have many opportunities to get out of the house in daylight hours.  Also, I have really odd days off.  The one consistent activity in my family on my Fridays off is going to Tony's Coneys and getting ice cream. We don't deviate from our order.  Ice cream in our house is a big family affair and serious business.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets ever.

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: ANYTHING GOES!

Here is my entry to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: ANYTHING GOES! I am also entering Unity Stamp Company Friends With Flair Friday. I decided to have fun with this challenge and do a whimsical card.  This card always makes me laugh.  It makes me think of picnics and pizza parlors.  I paper pieced this card. Unfortunately, I don't remember what paper pads I used.  When I start paper piecing I usually use three or four different paper pads.  I promise to keep better track of them next time.  The stamp set is Unity Stamp Co. "OLIVE you."  Also the Washi Tape is "Freckle Fawn" from my Simon Says June 2014 Card Kit.  I love their card kits!  It's an awesome way to try new products and build up your stamp collection.  I hope you enjoy the card!

Simon Says Monday Challenge: J is for…

Here is my entry into Simon Says Monday Challenge: J is for….  My J is for joking.  I was joking around when I made this card for Oscar to celebrate his Birthday.  I love this image from Art Impressions.  I made a simple card with no embellishments.  I wanted the image to be the focal point.  So much awesomeness is going on in this hilarious rubber stamp. I love the gentleman quietly observing the festivities while his hat slowly burns.  For this card, I used plain yellow card stock to make the card base.  The Rubber Stamp is "Art Impressions Golden Oldies #UMU552.  This image was stamped with Ranger Archival Ink on Strathmore Watercolor Paper and Colored with Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils.
