WWC73 - Gail's Clean & Simple Summer theme Challenge

Gail challenged us to make a clean and simple card with the theme of Summer!

I decided that the Wetlands stamp set was the way to go!

I washed Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, So Saffron & Pool Party Inks across the front top portion on my card, stamped the birds with Soft Suede.  The Happy Birthday is from Birthday Banners stamped with Soft Suede.

Wacky Watercooler June Blog Hop!

I'm hopping with my friends again! It has been too long!

Our blog hop works in a circular pattern, so you may have started here on my blog or have hopped here from Deb's blog. Either way Welcome!

We are sharing our favorites fro the new catalog. It's hard to pick favorites when there is so much I am liking about this catalog.

First up, favorite new In Color: Dapper Denim is my favorite at the moment ;).

I faux watercolored with the stamp set Touches of Texture using Dapper Denim, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. I also used a greeting from Birthday Banners.

Second was our favorite Stamp Set/Bundle, that was a tough one so I went with two of them.

I used the Foxy Friends and Always an Adventure Bundles. I also used Teeny Tiny Wishes and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

Last, Favorite DSP, well I didn't buy any (you'd think with a $500 order that wouldn't have happened). But I have the Neutrals Stack.

I used One Wild Ride, another favorite stamp set. 

So now it's time to hop over to Marie's blog.

WWC72 - Jean's Color Challenge

Jean challenged us to use at least 3 of the new In colors.  I used Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy and Flirty Flamingo.

ll

For my card front I took a piece of Shimmery White CS and ran it through the Big Shot, in the Seaside Textured Embossing Folder.  I used a piece of chip board with a circle cut out of its center instead of one of the Cutting Pads.

Using the stamp set Seaside Shore, I stamped the seaweed in the flat area on my card front in Basic Gray, coloring it Emerald Envy. I did a back ground wash of Dapper Denim and Crumb Cake when dried I stamped the starfish on the "sand" in Flirty Flamingo.

The fish were stamped on scraps of Watercolor Paper colored, cut out and popped up with Dimensionals.

The greeting is from Birthday Banners cut out with Bunch of Banners Framelits.

WWC69 - Kath's CAS Masculine Challenge

I was asked to pick a theme for our CAS challenge at Watercooler Wednesday Challenge blog. I decided it was time for a Masculine theme!

A CAS masculine card was harder to do then I thought it would be and I think my card barely qualifies, but here it is.

I used Guy Greetings and cut up a card base from Watercolor Wishes card kit. I kept the card to two colors, Whisper White & Tip Top Taupe.

Head on over to Watercooler Wednesday see what the artists there have created and start creating a CAS masculine card and link it at the bottom of the post!

I'm hoping that soon I will be posting more often, my son is moving out of my Stamp Room this week! :)

WWC66 - Libby's Sketch Challenge

This week Libby gave us a wonderful sketch as our challenge!

Here is the card I made for this challenge

I decide a shaker card would be fun! I filled the shaker part with seed beads and little parts snip of the electronic boards inside a broken TV.

I took the color from the DSP that is in the Going Places DSP stack(in real life the color do match).

WWC65 - Anything Goes

This week is another anything goes challenge! So link up your current project s that we can see what you are working on.

  Here is a wedding card I put together for this challenge.

I used Stampin' Up's Whisper white and some white paper scraps that my brother had left over from a printing order he had done a few years ago. The paper shimmers and has brush strokes I thought the two whites together makes a beautiful wedding card. The phrase is from the stamp set Rose Wonder, stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

WWC63 - Kath's Colour Challenge

I was in charge of picking a challenge for this week, When I was assigned the week I would do a challenge we were in the very dreary part of winter and since it would be spring I picked warm colors.

My mother's birthday was the first day of spring, her father always told her that her birth brought spring so I thought a birthday card would be wonderful in these colors.

I used the stamp set "Number of Years" and the embossing folder "Confetti"

Please check out what the artists at http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/ have created then create a projects using these colors and link it to our challenge.

"Butterfly Basics", "Number of Years" & a hostess set called "Best Thoughts"
