Watercolor Stamping

This week on The Mod Squad Challenge Blog we were challenged to use Watercolor Stamping.
This was my first try and it was pretty good until I tried to fix a teeny tiny spot on one of the leaves.  Will I ever learn to leave well enough alone........doubt it.  Still I really like it and hope you do to.  TFL

Mod Squad Challenge Blog 4/15/2015

Not all cards are a success on the first try.  Yesterday’s challenge on The Mod Squad Challenge Blog  was to make a card using 3 colors from a color wheel.  I decided to use pink, green & yellow and try my hand using acetate.  Needless to say my card was NOT a total success.  I used Spectrum Noir pens and Tim Holtz Alcohol Blending Solution to create my background acetate sheet.  Then I lightly stamped a butterfly to the background using StazOn.  Not a total success but passable.  Then I stamped two butterflies on white cardstock also with StazOn.  I have never colored anything with Spectrum Noir pens and StazOn before.  As most of you know I almost always use a digi stamp and printer ink.  When I colored my butterflies the StazOn bled into the Spectrum Noir ink.  I don’t know if that would always be the case or if it was the paper I used.  The StazOn was dry so I don’t know what I could have done differently.  With all that said I’m still entering the card so in the future, hopefully, I will see an improvement. http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/

Butterfly Challenge

This weeks challenge on Mod Squad Challenge Blog is to use a butterfly as the focal point of your project.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out my butterflies.  The bottom solid one matches the solid background paper and the top is vellum. Thanks for looking. http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/ 

Mod Squad Challenge

This week Judy Woodland challenged us to do something different. The challenge was to  use a magazine, gift catalog, or any other periodical lying around, in some way on a card.
I chose to make a retirement card. I used page 5 of a Wind & Weather Catalog to create the inside of my pinwheel. http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/

Tatting/Flowers

The Mod Squad challenge http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/ for this week was to use a flower as your focal point.  It's been over a year since I did any tatting so I decided to add that to my background.  My friend Judy encouraged me to do it even though I'd forgotten some of the basics. All the papers I used were created on my computer.  The beautiful flowered piece is a Gina K freebie.  Thanks for looking.

Make A Background

This week the Mod Squad Challenge is to make a background. http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/
My friend Judy Woodland was gracious enough to let  me CASE the fabulous birthday card she sent me. I made this background for a card I'm donating to
Gregory's Gift of Hope ... a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable shelter for abandoned, homeless and unwanted animals. http://www.ggohinc.com/
