Robyn's Fetish Challenge #163 - Die Cuts or Punches

Hi all!

Time for a new challenge at Robyn's Fetish! This week we want to see some die cuts or punches!

We also have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge, Whoopsi Daisy is offering 3 image sheets from their store to the winner! How generous is that!
Just click on the banner to go to their shop!


Whoopsi Daisy also generously offered some images to the DT, and this is what I created with it.

 

For this card I created my own background paper as I didn't have anything in the colors I wanted. I used a Hero Arts background stamp, and stamped to some white cardstock with VersaMark Ink. Then I used PanPastel in red and yellow and covered the entire cardstock with it. You can keep blending or adding colors until you are happy with the result. When you are done with your background, you have to use a fixative spray so you can't smear it anymore, but regular hairspray will work too.

Like I said, the image is generously sponsored by Whoopsi Daisy and is from sheet 406. The image can be found here. I used my Copic Markers to color the image and I used the following colors.
Skin: E50, E51, E53
Hair: E74
Dress: R24, R27, R29
Hat: Y11, Y15, Y17
The image is cut out by hand and I used a doily behind it to make it stand out more from the background.

I used a Nestabilities Labels 4 die and I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder on it. The embossed parts and the edge of my die cut are inked with Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy. The I cut the die-cut in half and punched some eyelets in them. I used some red twine to tie them together. The red ribbon I used is from my stash.
The sentiment is by Whimsy Stamps and punched out with a circle punch.

That was my card for today, I hope you like it! Now hop over to Robyn's Fetish and join us!



Hugs, Sandra

Congratulations on your graduation! - Red Carpet Studio Challenge

Hi all!

Welcome to a new challenge at Red Carpet Studio! This week it's the Card Design Teams turn to host a challenge, so we want to see some cards!
This week we are inspired by the movie The Graduate, so we want to see some graduationcards! Perfect for this time of the year!

We also have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge, QKR-Stampede is offering 5 images of the winners choice! That is so generous!
Just click on the banner below to go to their shop!


Before I show you my card, I must tell you, it's pretty Clean & Simple, so do not be too shocked, I warned you!

Clean and Simple is totally not my style, but I like how this turned out! I was quite inspired by a lot of CAS cards I saw recently and I wanted to try it out.

The image I used is by Mo Manning, and is perfect for this challenge. This graduation girl is colored with my Copic Markers, and I used the following markers.
Skin: E50, E51, E53
Hair: E55, E57
Clothes: C3, C5, C7
Shoes: R27, R29

I embossed my cardfront with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, and used some red ribbon from my stash.
The image is matted on some black cardstock, and the sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment is from the Congratulations sentiment set by AmyR, and I adore all her sentimentsets!

That was it for today, I hope you all like it! Now pop over to Red Carpet Studio and join us with your graduatution cards!

I would love to enter the following challenges:
A Gem of A Challenge - Emboss it
QKR Stampede - Ribbons & Bows

This is my project for this challenge!

Mhuahahahahaha, when I saw this pig celebrating, I knew I had to use it for this challenge! The image is generously sponsored by Beccy's Place. He is called Party Pig, and can be found here.
Let me show you a close-up!

I used one of my oval dies to cut the image out, and I used the matching scalloped die to create a little border around it.

The papers are by My Minds Eye. I used one of the more solid patterns to use my BRAND NEW Bingo Stamps. They are stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

To finish my card I used some paper roses from my stash and some blue rhinestones!
