Watercooler Challenge #20

Buffy gave us a fun sketch to work with for challenge #20, I hope you will make a creation and share with us on our challenge site!

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Strawberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon & Wild Wasabi

Crazy About You

Club was this week and we had fun with the Crazy About/Hello You Bundle. We combined them with the 1023-2015 In colors. We used combinations of all the colors except Baked Brown Sugar.

Here is the sample I showed them( yes I CASEd myself).

The card I demonstrated.

And here are the different combinations that were made in class.

My 10 year old granddaughter made this one.

Watercooler Challenge 19

Welcome to challenge #19  Bev submitted this photo as our challenge.

Beautiful! But it had me stumped for a bit. Here is what I finally decided to go with.

I ran* Crushed Curry, Rose Red & Elegant Eggplant down a damp piece of Watercolor Paper then ran Night of Navy down over it. I also drop those same colors onto scraps of watercolor paper for the punched flower.  I used the Hello You Thinlits to cut the thanks out the Whisper White front, I stamped the words from Crazy About you then ran it through the Big Shot first with Decorative Dots Embossing Folder to deboss it then again in the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder to emboss it.

Stamps: Crazy About You
Paper: Whisper White & Rose Red CS & Watercolor Paper
Ink: Crushed Curry, Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant & Night of Navy
Misc: Decorative Dots & Spring Flower Embossing Folders, Hello You Thinlits, Big Shot, Artisan Embellishment Kit 

* For the background watercolor I lightly spritzed the watercolor paper with water and propped it up at a slight angle. Next I dripped a couple of drops of re-inker in each colors ink pad lid. I used an Aqua Painter to pick up the ink so that the tip was deeply colored, I squeezed plenty of water into the tip and colored about 1/2" at the top of the paper letting it run down the paper(spritzing with more water as needed to help it run). From left to right I roughly colored thirds of the paper in Crushed Curry, Rose Red & Elegant Eggplant. The last step was Night of Navy that I ran across the top in a narrow line letting it run down over the previous colors.

Moon Lake- Blendabilities II

I went with the bird image this time.

Stamps: Moon Lake
Paper: Whisper White, Blushing Bride & Wisteria Wonder
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink & Blendabilities
Misc: Artisan Embellishment Kit, Blushing Bride Cotton Ribbon, Spring Flower Embossing Folder & Dimensionals

I layered a large Pearl in the center of one of the silver buttons from the kit

A Happy Thing

A free Sale-a-bration set with a qualifying order!

Stamps: A Happy Day, Four Feathers,
Paper: Very Vanilla, Kraft CS
Ink: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Natural, Bronze, Lt Crumb Cake, Lt Melon Mambo, Lt Night of Navy, Med Wild Wasabi Blendibilities.
Misc: Big Shot, Feather Framelits(carried over!), 7/8" Natural Cotton Ribbon, Early Espresso Bakers Twine, Spring Flower Texured Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

With the Bakers Twine being white I thought it was a little stark against the Vanilla/Natural colors so I sponged with Crumb Cake Ink that was mostly sponged off the sponge first.

Artisan Embellishment Kit and More!

Again I combined items from both catalogs.

I used the die-cut as a stencil again, I figure I can get so many more card made using it as a stencil instead of a card element and because there is 2 I can still use the other one on a card.

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss & Vellum CS

Ink: Blackberry Bliss & Mossy Meadow ink & Rich Razzleberry Blendiblities 

Misc:Artisan Embellishment Kit, Pearls, Butterflies Thinlits Dies, Spring Flowers Textured Embossing Folder & Big Shot

How about that butterfly, don't you love it? The Thinlit has 3 different butterflies. with all the details on this little butterfly it releases from the die easily if you place your paper on the platform and than layer it with a dryer sheet(I used a used one) last layer the die. The butterfly will pop right out.

I used a clear button, lg pearl. die-cut, lace and ribbon from the Artisan Embellishment Kit. I colored the large pearl with the Rich Razzleberry Blendiblities
