Flower soft tree

I had to do a card with a tree so first I had picked a SU set but then I decided I wanted to use 3 supplies one was a tree stamp by Rubber Stampede that I hadn't uses in many years, second an embossing folder from Cuttlebug and last was Flower Soft.

There was a time when a lot of people were using Flower Soft but now seems like I haven't seen things with it but I still love the effect and when I was redoing my craft room realize how many bottles I had :0) anyway that's why I decided on these supplies and from that I picked the rest and this is what I came up with. The trunk/branches & background was done with Copic Markers

Not sure if the photo shows the texture well enough but obviously it's 3D. The flower soft I used was Christmas green. Being summer the tree is nice and green although I don't know if oak trees get ugly during fall. The ribbon is SU stretched trim

Christmas for OWH

I worked on some other Christmas cards. They all came from the same paper pack I just added some embellishments. This type of cards reminds me of the digital cards where you do everything on the computer and then you print and becomes one layer card.

On this one I punched the border and originally I was going to add Wink of Stella glitter brush BUT you get glitter on your finger after it dries so didn't add it just added the red nose :0)


This one I did the cocoa 3D and added the jewel on the center 


This one I added the snowflakes and the red jewels

and this last one I added jewels

These were to make as they were outside my box :0)

Christmas for OWH

Don't you hate it when you email someone's post and they don't answer? I do :0) personally I know I don't always answer emails right away BUT I always do :0) In one of the SU workshops someone had mention that OWH had a post of how to cut 6x6 paper for cards so of course where would I got check?? Sandy Allnock's blog but I looked everywhere and didn't find it so I contacted her but so far no response but wanting to work with scrapbook papers I check see if I could find someone else so I found one sheet wonder for 8.5 x 11 or 12 x 12 so I worked with that and came up with all these cards. The focal stamp is House Mouse image colored with Copic markers. I used some ribbon in some and messages are both English and Spanish

I now have found how to cut the 6x6. The information was on the actual OWH blog and also in Kristie's blog (part of OWH). Still think it would have been nice to get a reply from Sandy to where to go check. Normally this would have discourage me from things that have to do with her BUT since I enjoy working on cards for service people to write home I will continue to make cards for them. I know there are other groups but this is local to me which means I don't have to ship anything whenever I have my cards ready I drop them at Impress on my next trip.

Some images

Some other images from the class that I finished were this. All colored with Copic markers

I don't know who makes this digital image, did try to find out though, not 100% happy with the grass but oh well all in all it's not bad :0)

This one the image is by Whiff of Joy

This one the digital image is by Annie's cards 4 u. The sky was done with distress ink and stamping sponge, I think I will go back to sponge dauber seems I have better control on where the ink goes :0)

Challenge

This month's challenge at  Make it Crafty, it's a double challenge you get to pick if you want to do one or both, one is shades of blonde and the other is creases & fold.

I wanted to finish some images that I got on my background class so decided to finish with the shades of blonde. The digital image is by Tiddly Ink colored with Copic Markers

 

because this is an image from my class I didn't do a card as it will go in my swatch binder.

I also worked on some cards using the same challenge


No, I don't enter my cards/images to Make it Crafty blog I just like to challenge myself :0)
