Thank you - Digital Tuesday #34

Happy Tuesday!!

The challenge over at digital tuesday today is "Thank you". I don't know about you, but I really should be making and sending out more thank you cards.

This sweet cupcake image is from "Creations by Penny" who is also our sponsor this week. Winner can choose 5 images from her store. How fun is that!

Image is colored with copics. Papers are from Stampin Up and DCWV. I embellished with some double stitched ribbon and prima flowers, and added dots of stickles to the cupcake frosting.

The sketch is from Friday Sketchers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you'll have a fantastic day, and a

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

(if you are celebrating this thursday!!)

Look through the window...

Happy Friday!

The newest stamp tutorial on Gina K's StampTV is called "Faux Window". I loved how Gina's card turned out and wanted to give it a try.

The image I used is "A christmas snowman" from the Digital Stamp Oasis. (Don't forget the buy 3 get 2 free sale!)






I added some shimmery lace,that I found at a flea market, to frame the window. My designer paper is from Basic Grey, card stock is white and chocolate chip from stampin Up.

I embellished with some punched out flowers using SU's boho blossom punch and spring bouquet punch, and added silver brads as flower centers. I really wanted gold brads and since I am out of them, I just applied gold stickles to them. To finish the card off I added frosted lace stickles for the now, and more gold stickles ot the star and garland on the christmas tree. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's set "warm wisches, ribbon is retired cranberry crisp, also stampin up.

This card also fits the challenge over at Dare you to digistamp, which is "glitter" and
the basic grey challenge which is "Glitz and bling".

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

Embossed digital stamp - with a new DSO image

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Have you ever tried heat embossing a digital image? I did, this is my first try. I have a bunch of glossy card stock from stampin up and thought I'd give it a try. It worked like a charm. The ink was wet enough to sprinkle some embossing powder over it and heat set with a heating tool. I am so excited!!

Before I started sponging, I used a white crayola crayon to add some highlights where I didn't want my ink to show. Then I used several Stampin Up inks to sponge on some color. I am pretty pleased how this turned out.

This is a brand new image that I finally had the chance to upload to my etsy store. I've been asking my husband to draw a boat image forever, and I really had it for a few weeks now, just never had the time to "clean it up". Well, finally - here it is!

Here's a few challenges I was inspired by.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #33 - a color challenge

Hi all and thanks for visiting my blog today.

It is tuesday and that means it's time for a new challenge over at the digital tuesday challenge blog. It is my turn to host and I chose a color challenge.

**white, purple and gold or silver**
You may use yellow or gray in place of the metallics.

My image is from Cute Daisy May, our sponsor this week, and they generously let the design team members choose one of their sheets to work with. They have so many adorable images to choose from, it was so hard to choose!

I colored my digital image with copics. The tree is from Stampin Up. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder then sponged some yellow ink around it for a little glow. My papers are elegant eggplant and prints designer paper in lovely lilac (I believe -I got it in a package with others at a yard sale.)

Sentiment is from an old stampin up set. To finish the card off, I added some punched out flowers using Stampin Up's retired spring bouquet punch, with gold brads and used a glitter pen on the star and wings for some shimmer. Sorry it came out gray in the picture.

If you're up for a challenge, why not grab a digi and join us at digital tuesday for a chance to win some cute images from Cute Daisy May. They are giving away 5 (!!) sheets of their adorable digis. One sheet typically has 4 images, so that would be about 20 images. How fun is that.
