As always theme is ANYTHING GOES

We have three great sponsors for this weeks challenge

Prize: 3 digi images of winners choice

For my image I got to use Fruity Babies Strawberry from Stamper's Delight. This is such a sweet image. 

I started out by using three different distress oxide ink in pink having the darkest color in the center and blending out with two light colors. I then used a branch stamp to add a bit more interest to the background.

I added a little bit of sparkle by placing some clear/iridescent sequins around her.

HELLO

 Hi everyone! I'm here with another fun card for the challenge over at

As always the challenge is ANYTHING GOES

We have two great sponsors this week and they are

Prize: $10 store voucher

Prize: 2 digi images of the winners choice

For my card today I used the SUMMER TRAINERS digi stamp from All Dressed Up. 

I wanted my image to pop off the card so I left the background all white and then added some colorful layers behind it. 

This was a fun image to color. At first I thought I'd go more fall colors due to the season but I decided on going brighter.

I have a bad habit of not thinking about a sentiment until the card is already put together lol. I found this great die in my stash and was so happy to see it worked!

FOR YOU BOOKWORM

Hi everyone! Back again with another challenge for

We have two great sponsors for this weeks challenge:

Prize: 2 digi images of winners choice

AND

Prize: 4 digi images of winners choice

Now onto my project. I decided to create a slimline card for the image I used so I could make her a bit bigger than I normally would. I used a really cute image from LeAnn's World 101 called SCHOOL GIRL. 

I wanted to give her the look as if she was in a library so I used a background peek-a-boo stamp image from Hero Arts and using my misti I stamped it on the upper part of my panel and then using some of the smaller images on the lower half and separating them with a strip of blue ribbon.

FRIEND, I MISS YOU

 Hi everyone! Welcome back for another great challenge over at

As always: ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsor for today's challenge is

Prize: 3 digi images of the winners choice.

For my card today I got to use the lovely HELLO FALL digi stamp. I've been eying her for a while so I couldn't wait to grab it for this challenge.  I've been spending a LOT of time on websites lately checking out all the new, fun, fall items that are coming out. 

When I saw this great background and stencil set from Taylored Expressions I couldn't wait to get it and use it. You stamp the background stamp and then using the three stencils in order you create a really cool leafy background. 

Below are pictures of the three stencil steps to get the amazing background. 

Once I trimmed it down to be the panel on my card it was so pretty. I will have to create another as I ended up covering most of the background with my image. 

Here are some close ups. I also used a leaf die to create three leaves to go behind the main image. 

Coloring these pumpkins was a lot of fun. I could spend all day just coloring them in. 

I usually don't add a sentiment inside the card but I thought this went well with the outside sentiment.

Here's one more look at the finished card.

CUTE FALL FOX

 Hi everyone! Welcome back to another challenge over at

As always ANYTHING GOES. 

We have two great sponsors for this weeks challenge. They are...

Prize: 3 digi images of the winner's choice

AND

Prize: 3 single digi images of the winner's choice

For my card I used a really cute design from Sheep Skin Designs called ELSA.  I had so much fun coloring this cute fox and will be making more fall cards with her. 

I got some cute pumpkin decor today and knew I had to use it for my picture. I will eventually be adding them as decor but, hey, why not right?

I used a cute fall pack of patterned paper from Echo park and a stamp set from Joy Claire's to create the background on the white piece of cardstock. I added a sticker strip to the lower half to help break it up. 

I really like how the blue blends in so well with the fall colors. I never thought to do that before. But this paper pack has patterns that include blue and it looks so cool. 

Now it's your turn. Create something fun and share it over at Penny's.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

 Hi everyone! Welcome back to another great challenge over at

As always the challenge is Anything Goes

Our sponsors for today challenge are

Prize: 3 digis of winners choice

Prize: L8 store voucher 

For my card today I am using Mummy Trick or Treat from Lemon Shortbread. When I saw that this was one of the images we could choose from I just had to use it. This is such a cute stamp!!

I used several different grey's to create the wrappings. I think I'm finally getting the hang of leaving a light source. I decided to cut him out so I could give some dimension behind him.

I used some black lace ribbon I've had in my stash for ever and created a "caution" banner style on the background. To add a tad more depth I used pumice stone distress ink on the edges of both the orange polka dot and the white web paper.

For my project I used Sunflower Bouquet digital stamp from Twinkle Lane Designs.  I was so excited to be able to use this image. It spoke to me right away and I couldn't wait to get coloring!!

For my background panel I used embossing paste and added in watercolor in the color of autumn blaze from Altenew.  This is the darkest color I used on the largest flower. I then put down my stencil and added the paste to my panel.  

I then sprinkled some platinum embossing powder into the paste and heat set it.  This gave some added dimension the the paste and embossed the powder. For a final touch I added some black ink splatters.  

I hope you can see the amazing detail heat setting the embossing paste gives the background.
