Cowabunga



Hello everyone,
time for another challenge at
Creative Knockouts Challenge

For this challenge the theme is Anything Goes and the sponsor is Imagine That! 

For my card, I'm using the image 'Party Cow'  and I used marker and pencil and glitter gel pens and a wink of stella to fill the glitter in the champagne on the image.
I trimmed the image tight and rounded the top corners.
I used a piece of scrap that I had left over from My Favorite Things in the teal and white hearts.  The copper foil cs is from DCWV.  Which, was then added on to a teal side fold cs base.  I added pretty teal and clear sequins as well as clear crystals scattered about.
I hope you all have fun playing along and I wish you the best of luck in the challenge as well.

Monkey Business


Hello Everyone,
It's time for another sketch challenge at 
Try Stampin' on Tuesday
(see below for the sketch)


For my card, I started with a digi from Bugaboo and I used distress ink to coloring the monkey and glitter gel pen to color the balloon.
I trimmed it down and clipped the corners round.
The papers used to complete the sketch are from Tim Holtz, Recollections and DCWV and all were in my scrap box.
I set it all on a side fold kraft cs base.
The sentiment was a stamp set I received as a gift and I'm not sure the maker, sorry, but was stamped with Walnut Stain distress ink and lifted with dimension tape.  I added Neuvo drops in cream and orange around the image and it's ready to go.


Here is the sketch:

I hope you have fun playing along ...

Our sponsor for this challenge is Ching-Chou and I am using the image Garden Daisy.  I used colored pencils on the image and highlighted with glitter gel pens.  This will also cover my 'one' with my flying fairy in all her glory and to add an insect on the side of the pot (doesn't fly but is also a living thing). The image was cut with a stitched oval die from My Favorite Things
For my 'two papers' they are both from the same Recollections pad and coordinate with each other and cut with a larger oval from My Favorite Things and the chevron paper was cut with a grass edge die also from My Favorite Things. 
For my 'three embellishments' I am using three different paper flowers in the corners of the card. 
The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers and is stamped with Lucky Clover distressed ink.  All set on a pale orange cs front and then set on a dark orange cs base with a side fold.
