Sunrise and Sunset

This week's Technique Lovers challenge at SCS was sunrises and sunsets.  The Global Design Project color challenge is monochromatic (#GDP185.).  So I combined the two and made two cards - one a sunrise and one a sunset or both sunrises or both sunsets - however you like to think of them.


Both cards are made using the SU! set Rooted in Nature.  For this one I used the thinking of you sentiment and the pine trees. Masking and sponging around a circle ad a paper across the bottom section.  I thought some extra rays would make it look more like sunrise but not so sure it worked - I am still going with this is a sunrise.


For this second card, I used a different Rooted in Nature tree.  I stamped it three times and drew in a hammock.  A different sentiment in the set was used as well, but I masked off the bottom part of it.  I used a white gel pen to add in some thin clouds and some dots in the ground to make it look like a bit of grass or something.  This is my sunset card.

 I haven't participated in the Global Design Project challenges before but there are some talented DT members and participants so I thought I would try it. 


Fun challenges.  Hugz

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Bear-ied In Paperwork

 Back again, with a card for this week's House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge ( HMFMC#424 ).  This week the challenge is Anything goes with the option of scraps of paper. I took the option literally and added scraps of paper on my kitchen counter.  I needed a thank you card for someone who has been helping us organize A LOT of papers.   I stamped the image (House Mouse Gruffies Bear-ied in Paperwork -2007) using CTMH Black, then coloring the image with Daniel Smith Watercolors.  I drew in an extra paper or two so that I could make one of them a Thank You paper - it is the top right and shaded pink.  Thanks for visiting, Nancy
