Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #25 - Back It Up!

Good Monday!!  It's time for another challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  For the next two weeks, we want to see you create a project using NO PATTERN paper.  Instead, create your own background paper.  

Our sponsors for this challenge :

Bugaboo Stamps will give the winner 7 images of their choice.

Eureka Stamps will give the winner 5 images of their choice.  How awesome of these sponsors!!!

I decided to work with the image Celebrating Kitty from Eureka Stamps.  Who doesn't love a cat that can party?  Anyway, I thought it would be a fun and cute image to work with.  The image is colored with water and regular colorpencils.  I tried to make the fur kinda look like fur, I think I've done better in the past.  For my handmade background, I used Stampin'Up Family Accessories stamps.  They had a birthday party hat and a little gift, that I stamped randomly on the white cardstock.  

I also made this paper using alcohol inks and glossy photo paper. Which is used behind the image and sentiment. Threw some ribbon on it for color.  Simple and easy!  Will probably give this card to a kid.

Hope to see you in the Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog challenge!

Sending Peace & Comfort

We had two fallen angels in my family within a day and half of each other.  It seems like every year I do more sympathy cards than I really want to and too close to the holidays.  Sometimes I think sympathy cards are the prettiest though.

Here's my card for my Great Aunt that I was named after.

I used the sketch from cardabilities.  The image Flower Angel is a digi from Eureka, it also comes in rubber.  I choose this image because my great aunt did sing gospel music and played the piano and organ.  She had a voice of an angel.  

Here's a close-up.  I colored with water colorpencils and regular colorpencils.  Put Stickles on the dots, to give the angel some sparkle.

Inside I left blank to leave my Uncle and cousins some love.

Love to Scrap! Challenge #20 - How Sketchy is That!

Well, this year is almost over, thank goodness!!  Before it ends though, we have one more challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  It's one of my favorites, a sketch challenge.  We are being sponsored by Eureka Stamps, the winner will receive 5 images of choice.  How awesome is that!

Here is the sketch for this challenge.  The sketch is provided by Starry Nights Studio Sketch 6.

Here's my take using Dragon Blowing Candles image.

I don't think he is going to get his wish that way.  The image was colored by water colorpencils and regular colorpencils.  The image was fussy cut out.  The orange ribbon was used to pop some extra color.  

He really is a cute dragon!

Here's the inside, using a Stampin' Up sentiment.  

Hope to see you in the challenge!
