Sugar Pea Designs - Mix it Up Challenge #15

Lately I have begun to share card sketches with the ladies in my card making group. This week I selected this sketch from Sugar Pea Designs#15 and so I decided to post the card I made. This image is NBUS (never before used) and an older one from SU! which I purchased at a garage sale. I chose to stamp and heat emboss and then watercolor using distress inks.

Stamps - Inspired by Stamping "Beautiful Iris" (sentiment), SU! "A Happy Thing" (image)

Paper - SU! snippets, watercolor

Inks - Versafine, Distress Inks

Other - embossing powder

Note: Anita from France shared how to recycle a Wink of Stella pen when it was empty. This makes for a nice paint brush and there is a little bit of glitter in the water. You simply take the pen apart and pry off the black (I used scissors), filled with water and use. Thanks Anita.

NBUS Challenge #7 Anything Goes

This is my third and last entry into Darnell's NBUS challenge and both stamps are NBUS. I heat embossed both the image and the sentiment, and colored Granny with Copics. She was matted onto black cs and attached to a piece of designer paper. The sentiment was also mounted onto black cs but I popped it up with dimensionals.

I found this saying pretty funny and it made me think of myself. My choice of non-profanity words would be, "oh thunder," and "dagnabit." One has to be careful around the little kids.

Thanks Darnell for all your hard work and for all the pleasure you give the members of your fan club.

Stamps - Funny Bones by Riley & Co. "Swearing," Art Impressions, "Golden Oldies" (UMI1165
