Sentimental Sundays #92 - Go green or recycle

Today's challenge at Sentiment Sundays is "go green or recycle". We want to see your projects featuring the color green or using recycled materials. Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps.

Is this a fun card or what? I wanted there to be no mistaking that my focus for the challenge was the color green. The main background paper is one of my favorites from the "All Dressed Up" stack from DCWV. The rest of the papers are from my stash. I used paper piecing on the pajamas and Copics on the hair and face. Throw in a Nestabilities cut, a tag punch and ribbon and voila'. I also used this week's sketch from the the Sweet Stop for inspiration.

Don't forget to drop in at Sentimental Sundays to see what the rest of the DT has created and to enter your project for the challenge.

Challenges entered:

The Sweet Stop - sketch
Catered Crop - Use ribbon
Raise the Bar - go green

SSD Friday Freebie 2/9/2012

It's that time again. Be sure to stop by Sassy Studio Designs at Paper Craft Planet and pick up this amazing and never seen before freebie!

I started this card out with a center step base. Next I chose the background paper from DCWV "Stack 5." The image was colored w/Copics and cut with a Nestabilities die enhanced with some fussy cutting. I also used the die to emboss and inked (CTMH Clover Meadow) around the image w/a sponge. I added glitter glue to the beer foam and Glossy Accents to the beer mug to add additional texture and interest. I used the ribbon Nestabilities die to highlight the sentiment which is an Inkadinkadoo $1 stamp from Joanns. I found the charm in the jewelry making supplies at Joanns as well. I cute the shamrocks with the Cricut using glitter paper. Finally I used foam dots and bling as the finale. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

Corrosive Challenge #144 - Give Piece A Chance

The theme of the Corrosive Challenge is "Give Piece A Chance." We want to see paper piecing on your projects with the added optional challenge of using green. Our sponsor is Sassy Studio Designs. My last name is Green so I've taken to this challenge like a duck to water!

The layout is roughly based on the one  at Stamping 411 this week. The image was colored w/Copics. The papers are from my stash. Her bathing suit is paper pieced but unfortunately my digital signature is obscuring it...Sorry. I used the Martha Stewart "drippy goo" punch as well as a Fiskars small flower punch. The ribbon was from Michaels. The sentiment is Close To My Heart as well as the ink, while the embossed ribbon die cut is a Nestibilities. What card of mine would be complete without some bling?

Challenges Entered:

Paper Sundaes - Green or Good Luck
Catered Crop - Must use ribbon
Craft Your Passion - Anything goes
Paper Pretties - Use green
Stamp and Create - Paper piecing
Heart2Heart - Green and CTMH product

Be sure to stop over at Sassy Studio Designs on Paper Craft Planet and pick up the latest freebie. I had a great time making this card. "Why," you might ask. Well the obvious is that my last name is Green. My husband says that everything green is good. I think the card is VERY good. The challenge is to use a charm somewhere on your project.

I loosely followed a sketch. All the design papers are from my stash. The image was colored w/Copics and highlighted it with Gelly Roll pen and lots of Stickles. I used foam dots to pop up the image. Being the Diva that I am, I always feel compelled to use bling of some sort. The peridot bling is one of my favorites because it's my birthstone! The swirl was an afterthough but a good one. I used a Nestabilites ribbon die cut for the sentiment. The die cut is highlighted with embossing and ink. The sentiment is from one of those dollar stamps that I can't stop buying everytime I am in either a JoAnns or Michaels. The little clover charm adds yet another dimension. I'm all about dimension in my cards and this card has lots of it. Thanks for stopping by!
