Gold & Pearl Accents and/or Colors

 

Another fun photo inspiration from House of Cards. 

Gold and pearls, this just makes me think elegance!

 

 I  immediately thought of  Stampin Up's Beautiful You set so pulled

it out and stamped this lovely image coloring her with Copics and

accenting her with pearls.  I added numerous layers using

Our Daily Breads Lavish Die set.  Top corners are a Martha

Stewart die.  Oh, is she not lovely and elegant.

 

I hope you will join in the fun.

Time for another fun challenge at House of Cards, is this not a fun

fall inspiration photo?

on the deck in the fall enjoying my morning coffee. I created a fun

tab fold card using this fun set I bought a magazine to get,

I have used this set numerous times already.

I went with the colors and photo on this challenge.  You can

never have to many birthday cards in your stash. I used

Stamplorations Cupcake and a KI paper pad Growing Garden

for my card.  I Paper pieced the cupcakes and then added glossy accents
to the icing and glitter to the cupcake liners.

Pattern Paper and/or Colors

I went with the patterned papers as you can tell.  I took out a cut paper

pack by DCWV Nanna's Kids as I wanted to make a baby card

for my great niece who is expecting in November.  I am going to her  

a Reveal Party on Monday.  She and the rest of  us will find out the

 sex of the baby when we cut into the cake and see if it is

pink or blue.  I cut strips of 3 neutral baby colors and layered

them and then stamped Great Impressions  Bear Floating

on papers to paper piece. I have some neutral swaddling

blankets and an outfit also for her on Monday!  Can't wait.

Hope you will join in the challenge at House of Cards

and check out the inspiration of the rest of the design team!

Shaped card and/or Colors

  

Time for another fun monthly challenge at House of Cards, you can go with a

shaped card or the colors. I enjoy shaped cards so went with a Z-fold card:

 

 

My husband will be officially retired the day this post goes live so I made a Z-fold card so I

could incorporate all the fun things that we hope to enjoy more of in his retirement. You will

notice the skier is not a stamped image, I took a picture of him and shrunk it and printed it on

cardstock.  I think he will be happy with this card.

 

I hope you will join in this fun challenge.  Details on the House of Cards blog.

The month has flown by, time for another challenge at the House of Cards.  I took my

inspiration from both the Photo and the colors:

 

I started with Stampin Up's Birthday Blooms and stamped the main image and

the smaller flower  several times on white cardstock so I could color layer the flowers for

depth.  Coloring is with Copics. Patterned paper from my stash.

 

You have all month to join our current challenge- we are looking forward to your creations!

March 2018
Use Colored Pencils on Dark Card and/or Colors

Time for another challenge at House of Cards.  This is a technique I don't do often,

coloring on dark cardstock:

I used a Cornish Heritage Farms image Poppies, stamping it in  white pigment ink

before and after coloring it with colored pencils on dark purple cardstock.  I used

a white pencil to add some highlights. I always enjoy a new technique. 

I hope you will join in the fun, details at House of Cards.

It's time for another challenge at  and another term at House of Cards, such a talented and fun design team!

 

My card started with the fun, bright colors above using Distress  Oxide Inks, but when I added a layer of Gesso, glitter, and another layer of Gesso over my distressed background it softened up. I still like the end result.  It was fun going with the colors, and mixed media.
