Copics Color Challenge #13 and Color Throwdown #42

This card is for two challenges. The link above will take you to the Copics Color Challenge and here is the link for the Color Throwdown: http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2009/05/color-throwdown-42.html

I love the sketch from Copics and the colors for the Color Throwdown were awesome together! I'm going to use that combo more often!

My Stamped image is a Penny Black's Garden Poems stamp. Copic colors I used are: B04 and G24. The sentiment is from the Craft Lounge's In His Name clear stamp set. I used Black Stickles around the border. The patterned paper is by My Minds Eye: Kaleidoscope Blues. The flowers are from the Bazzill collection: The Flower Box. They are so pretty!

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

Mojo Monday Challenge 82

I've made a card for the Mojo Monday sketch. The sketch is really a nice one. I made this card for a friend of mine who lost a family member. The pansy stamp is Penny Black, the sentiment is Paper Inspriations. I used Neenah paper to stamp on and Copics to color the flowers. I do not know what brand the DP's are, I've had them loose in my stash for a while. Hope you like my interpretation.

thanks.

Sympathy for a friend

My husband and I belong to a National Christian Motorcycle Club. There are chapters all over the country and the world. A member of the Las Vegas Chapter was here in Denver in January to attend a big Motorcycle show and swap meat. Sadly, he was killed while riding his motorcycle this past weekend. The colors of our club are yellow and black, so I made this card for his family. Please pray for his family if you get a chance. He has a wife and two young boys (age 16 and 21)

Paper Makeup Stamps Challenge

I've missed making and posting cards lately. Life has a way of getting in the way, doesn't it? But I am thankful for all that God has allowed me to be a part of in this life. Anyway, here is my card for the PMSC. It's a card for my aunt whose husband (my uncle) died.

Here's the link: http://papermakeupstamps.blogspot.com/2009/02/sketch-challenge.html

The paper is Basic Grey Sugared

I used an Oval Nesty for the sentiment

The stamp is by Paper Inspirations

The ink is Distressed Ink Mahagony

The base card is Archivers Metalic Opal

And on the right hand side are Page Pebbles by Making Memories

Then there's some ribbon, pearls and silk leaves.

Thanks for looking. Have a great day.

Weekend Sketch Challenge #70

Hi. I haven't been able to post for a while. I went to visit my sister who has MS. She has had it for 15 years and really struggles. When her husband goes out of town, I try to go help her out with her kids. Then when I got back, my son and I were sick for a week. Anyway, all better now and I have a card to share with you. It's for my Dad because his brother (my uncle) passed away. I didn't really know him very well, which may seem a bit strange. I have had 6 uncles in my life and only one of them, who lives is Fresno, has ever had much to do with me. He is very special to me.

Ingredients: flower is from a Heidi Grace kit, the stamp is by Paper Inspirations and I used a Cuttlebug border on the side piece. Then I added some gems and silver bling. this was a fun sketch from WSC!
