Hit like a girl. (CIC269)

Come join us at Cupcake Inspirations for our new challenge!

Kenny K is sponsoring our challenge this week.

They are offering THREE digital images to our randomly chosen winner. Wow!

Thank you so much, Kenny K!

This week our challenge is to SPORTS!

Sports Ball Cupcakes by Sugar Rush Wonderland

One of the things I love about Kenny K designs (besides that they're just super fun) is the 'girl' images. Not only do they have sexy girls of all differing kinds but girls playing sports and just generally kicking @$$. I am a mom that is trying to teach my girls they can do anything, for real, ANYTHING. So I think it's great that Kenny K offers such a variety of girls doing just that...anything. :) 

I am trying to use up the last of my Simon Says Stamp Card Kit for May and I think it's lends itself well to the look I was hoping to achieve. I colored my girl up with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut her out. I let the papers do a lot of the work on this card. I cut out vellum stars and used the hearts from the kits. The Thickers are Amy Tangerine 'Wink' and the blue matches perfectly. I love it when that happens. I haven't added a sentiment to the inside yet because this would make a great thank you or birthday card. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Kenny K's Krafty Krew #176 - Sports

She wore an...

itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow, polka-dot bikini!!

This card is using Little Umbrella by Mo Manning for Stamping Bella. I love her. :) I colored her with my Copic markers. I used my white gel pen on her polka dots. The DP is from Amy Tangerine's Sketchbook paper. And the background stamp is Hero Arts embossed with clear powder.

This is a sweet little Unity stamp that I couldn't pass up and now am really glad I didn't. :)

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

Ice Cream Cupcakes from Martha Stewart

I absolutely love this stamp, Harvest Bouquet. It is so timeless, and season-less as well, that I can pretty much use it for anything depending on the way I color it. Thank  yous, happy birthdays, sympathy...it's just a wonderful stamp to have in my repertoire.

I created my own background by stamping my sentiment over and over with Melon Mambo. My card base is Melon Mambo and my mat is Chocolate Chip. I colored my image with my Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers. I love the touches of green with these colors. Simply stunning. Turquoise is a good color too. Those four colors can be found in my girls' room. I rounded my corners with my Corner Chomper.

On the inside, I used the same sentiment and Melon Mambo ink.

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

You float my boat. (GD Gig #4)

I have been asked to be a guest designer over at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog for the next couple of months. I couldn't be more excited! I love the chance to work with others from all over the world. The inspiration is just amazing. :)

I hope you'll join me in the challenge going on right now. It is 'For a Child'. Here's my project.

I used There She Goes stamp set called 'Float my Boat'. Unfortunately, TSG is no longer selling stamps. :( Still makes me sad to think about it. I inked and stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored him up with my Prismacolor pencils. A very CAS card.

Thank you for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

Stampin' Royals Linky Party : July - Anything Goes

Hey Sailor.

Can I just say that I heart The Stamping Chef. "I heart The Stamping Chef!!!" Their images are so fun. This is Hello Sailor! and I colored her up with my Primsacolor pencils. I used some scraps I have of Authentique's 'Pride' paper pad with some Neenah Desert Storm and Stampin' Up Night of Navy. The Thickers are Amy Tangerine 'Everyday'. I love the seersucker/nautical look they have. 

I wanted to add 'sailor' in small type in the corner below her elbow but I couldn't fully commit. I might still do that before I send this off to my Navy friend, who thinks the perfect girl isn't out there. I know she is and she's waiting (hopefully patiently) for him. :)

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
