Title: ICRC29 Card with Elements and a "Theme" Twist

Happy May Everyone!

The beginning of a new month brings new challenges our way, and we have one for you over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!   This was a fun card to make, as I loved the use of different ELEMENTS, and especially liked the "THEME" TWIST for May :)



Here is the Challenge for the month of May
ICRC29 – Card with Elements and a “Theme” Twist


You'll be using ELEMENTS on your cards that you'll find on our DT Blogs.  That's right...you'll have to visit each of the five DT blogs listed below for the elements.  You only need to put three of the elements onto your card, but you can use more than three if you'd like.   

Finally, you must visit the ICR Blog for the TWIST!!!

The element I used is
EMBOSSING!  

Here is my card...

So you have some visiting to do!  Have fun, and I look forward to seeing your projects on ICR!
Be sure to list the three elements that you've used, when posting your cards.
If you have any questions, please reach out to any of the DT members!

I won this digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps!  I colored it in with my copic markers, and added the PEARLS for the pearl necklace and earrings.   The EMBOSSING was done using my cuttlebug folders, and I used the FLOWER Brads for the two rounded corners. The sentiment is from a SP & Company stamp set.


~Supplies Used~
Card Stock:  Fine & Dandy Girl (My Mind's Eye), Hiippie Chic Solids (DCWV),
Stamps:  "Girl Cupcakes" (Bugaboo Stamps)
Ink:  Basic Black (Stampin' Up), Copic Markers
Adhesives:  Tombow, GlueDots
Tools:  Corner Punch (Fiskars), Cuttlebug

Thanks for Stopping By!

SP's 'Lovely Emma' Stamp...again!


Happy Tuesday!  

I took a quick picture yesterday of a cherry blossom tree in our neighborhood when I was at a stoplight...so quick, I don't believe the camera had time to adjust.  It was so gloomy out, that the pic came out extremely dark.   If it wasn't for Instagram and it's million filters, I probably would've deleted it!  Pretty huh?! 



I had to use the "Lovely Emma" Digi Stamp once more...can't get enough of it.  I realized I have a new set of 'Emma' stamps I need to use, so will get to it this week!

Here is my card...

Stamp-N-Doodle Challenge - No Embellishments


Hi Everyone!

We have a new challenge over at Stamp-N-Doodle.  Stop by and check it out!  The theme for this week's challenge is "No Embellishments."  I'm so used to using some sort or embellishment on my cards, that I had to stop and remind myself not to!

As you can see, I still have a VERY LIMITED collection of copics.  I need to expand on my browns, cause my horse is looking a little red here...hehe!

ICRC28 - DT Inspiration

Happy Sunday Everyone!  



Here is the first of two posts for today.  I wanted the second round of DT Inspiration with you from the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!  This is from our current challenge!  Do stop by and join us!


Here is the Challenge for the month of April
ICRC28: Card/Project with Speech Bubble and a Witty/Pun Sentiment


I used the 12x12 collection paper from Imaginisce for the card.  It involved LOTS of cutting.  I had to use my blade as well, for the difficult borders.  My speech bubble + sentiment is from ICR Digis, created by Banu especially for ICR.  You can find them at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM.  They are not to be missed!  I printed the whole page, and look forward to using the others soon.

Here is my inspiration card...

Stamp-N-Doodle 'Anything Goes' Challenge


Hi Everyone!

We have a new challenge over at Stamp-N-Doodle. Stop by and check it out!  The theme for this week's challenge is a Lauren Curtis Spotlight - "Anything Goes."  My goal was to coordinate the blues, browns, and greens for that camping/outdoorsy look.   It's definitely different than the girly cards I've been doing recently :p 

Here is my card...
I decided not to color in the image completely, and used the copics just for a touch.
