Color Throwdown #362- Blessed!!

Good Wednesday Morning and welcome to this week's colors at The Color Throwdown. I am the host this week and I picked some wonderful fall colors. Well, at least I thought I did, anyway :)

Isn't that cake scrumptious!! 

Here's my card...

WPlus9's Doodle Buds arrived on my doorstep this week and I couldn't wait to ink them up. The background panel was created with the smooshing technique on watercolor paper. Each image was stamped on a watercolor square using Cherry Lynn dies. Colored with SU and Zig Clean Color Brush markers. Added some Heidi Swapp gold spray- it got away from me a little bit :)

Verve Stamps, one of the sponsors for the Fall Coffee Lovers blog hop has a free digi... so of course, I had to play!!

The sentiment and those sweet coffee mugs are part of the download. You can get yours here. 


Another card for the Fall Coffee Lovers blog hop...

I'm trying to get around to as many blogs as I can... there are so many entries and so many fabulous cards!!

Used this week's Viva la Verve sketch for the layout.... switched the oval vertical instead of horizontal to fit the sentiment.

I made another card using the digi...

And used Verve's week 1 sketch... which I love, I just didn't love this card. It's just not balanced- but, those sweet mugs are part of the free digi-- don't you love those leaves!!

Coffee and doughnuts!!

Happy Friday evening!! I'm so happy it's Friday... it's been a rough week... well, actually we are now into Saturday morning... i told ya' it's been a rough week :)

Last night I had a chance to play a little... good therapy...

Here's my card...

The layout is this week's CAS(e) this sketch. I stamped the coffee cups and doughnuts from Walzingmouse Stamps- We Go Together and colored with copics. Added crystal effects to the doughnut icing (maple iced- Dunkin donuts)!! The sentiment is from the same WMS set. I added a little trim piece on the left using Waltzingmouse stamps Reverse Crackle background.

Here's a little close-up of that "glaze" on my doughnuts!!

I made this card for the following challenges...

Couldn't miss out on the Fall Coffee Lovers blog hop...

Tag You're It!!

Busy, Busy summer and not a lot of time to play in all the challenges I would like to! It happens, right?!?  I LOVE to make tags but, haven't had a chance to lately- they're like little works of art and so handy to add to packages....

My sweet friend Jeanne has the featured Tag over on the Tag You're It Challenge  AND Serendipity Stamps is the sponsor this week... AND summer is over (my busy time) so I had a chance to play along.

Here's Jeanne's for inspiration...

Here's mine....

So... I started out in a whole different direction... you'll see that tag another day and drifted back to using the colors and Leave dies at Serendipity Stamps. The tags were created with a Pretty Pink Posh die- Stitched Duo 3 (sold at Serendipity Stamps). The Thank You is from Serendipity too. The orange leaf was created by smooshing distress inks onto a craft mat and then die cutting.

Color Throwdown #361- unsupervised!!

Good Wednesday Morning and welcome to this week's colors at The Color Throwdown. Tammy picked the colors this week.

Isn't this room pretty! Love these colors!!

I inked up these sweet TH Crazy Birds doing a little masking and colored with my Zig Clean Color Brushes. Still learning to use these! The sentiment is from Dylusions Say It How It Is which I stamped heat embossed with clear embossing powder and cut up. The actual sentiment is.... "I am currently...." but, since I had two crazy birds I cut off the "I am" and added a line with my Copic multiliner.
