Can You Case It Pet Card Challenge

So excited to participate this week with Eva and the Can You Case It challenge!

I have been waiting sooooo long to use this Phyllis Harris set!

This gave me a great excuse to color and get inky!!

I can't lie! This card is not my norm.... I am not a colorer!! Well, I am just not when it comes to cards! I measured the image from "We Just Need Someone" stamp set and decided to fit it on a square. This set is designed by the amazing Phyllis Harris and created by Unity Stamp Co.

I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black then used my Prismacolor Pencils to color the image. I used my stitched squares from Gina Marie to cut this cute image out! I adhered it to a piece of Echo Park Homegrown Paper with a cute wood banner! The sentiment is from another Phyllis Harris set... However, I only inked the "True friends listen from the" and used the wood heart to replace the heart!

Cute, Colorful and Clever!!

Thank You for stopping by!

Every Breath is a Gift

Well we have made it to Wednesday! I have a kiddo home sick today with a nasty cough!

This week is a really busy week for me creatively! I am getting back on my creative roll!

I knew as soon as I saw this paper what I wanted to do! However, I had to order the stamp set first!

This week Can You Case It has a fabulous Black and White Challenge so.... Challenge accepted!

My card started with a base of Basic Black with a lovely layer of  DSP that has the dandelions all over it! It is from this years Sale-A-Bration with Stampin' Up!. So I managed to get it for free! The stamp set is from one of my favorite designers Phyllis Harris! She has a fabulous line of stamps through Unity Stamp Company. This set is called Every Breath!  I stamped this image using the Basic Black Archival Ink. I used Gina Steimels stitched rectangles to die cut the image. The Basic Black matte is just about an 1/8" wider/longer than the stitched rectangle.  I wasn't sure what to do with sentiment or where to put it! So simply stamped it on to the Whisper White and used my 1 3/8" Circle punch. I rubbed the edges with some black ink, made a few metallic thread loops and adhered this to the top left corner using Stampin' Dimensionals! I knew the card needed something, so I used some Sparkly Clear and Charcoal sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!

Thank you So much stopping by today! Can't wait to see you tomorrow!

SIP 14 Sketch Challenge

Terrific Tuesday to you all! School is in full swing and now this mommy has time to herself!!! Okay stop laughing, I have now been roped into being a class room volunteer! In the past I have been there maybe once a week for an hour or so but not this year! I am in one class for an hour a day. Then I go to another class if I have time.... THEN (Yes, remember I have 3 in my Tucker Tribe) I go to lunch with the Kindergartner... Sometimes I even end up in that class too!! I think I shall wear a cape and be called Wonder Mom!

Justin put together a really great sketch for us this week! You could really keep it clean, quick and easy... Since that is a challenge for me I went a different route. Here are the details...

This great card started with a fabulous base of Lost Lagoon!! I have been neglecting some of my colors lately and it needed some love. I then matted my Very Vanilla with Tip Taupe this is stamped with an oldie but goody,vintage Stampin' UP! Chicken Wire Background stamp using Tip Top Taupe Ink. I then adhered the Burlap Ribbon to the left side of the card using Scor-Tape. I did this because sometimes I get a little too happy with the glue and oozes! Frankly the less messy the better (My mom would tell you that as a kid I could drink a Slurpee through a straw and STILL get it all over my face!). I then took the new In-Color 2014-2016 Ribbon and layered it over the burlap. The stamped Horse and Girl image in Tip Top Taupe is from Unity Stamp Co.. It is called Felt with the Heart it is designed by Phyllis Harris. This is one of many that I have of hers.... I LOVE THEM! The sentiment which is shown closer below "Sometimes we just need someone to be there" is from another one of Unity Stamp Co and Phyllis Harris. It is called We Just Need Someone. I adhered the cute little banner using the 2 way glue pen.

Thank You all for stopping in! I am really looking forward to seeing your creations!!

Have a great Day!
