Market Street

This is a thank you card, I made with a new set of Market Street stamp set that my daughter purchased for me. It is a for a dear friend of mine. I love this set. the sentiment inside is from BasicGrey. 

Peachy Keen Challenge

My daughter purchased this set from me from Market Street.  My goal was to create a design that would transport me back to the 70's. You will have to let me know if I succeeded. 

 I used Marvy Dee Gruening Signature Blending Blox Shade of sunset which I purchased over a year ago and I never used it, but it seemed perfect for this project - trying to create a psychedelic feel. The paper is from a kit I purchased at Costco ages ago. One side reminded me of a blue jean effect and the other side had paisley.  I painted a coat of Smooch pearlized top coat from Stampin up on the guitar. I colored the bottom of the dress form with my prism colors and blended with a blending pen also from Stampin up. I love that it then looks like I colored with a marker. The ribbon is from La Di Dah and the butterfly is from Recollections - Boutique Fleur. 

Market Street Challenge

 Well this challenge was interesting. I did not have any of the colors so I purchased three sheets of Bazzill paper just for this project and then colored the rockets with my newly purchased Prismacolor colored pencils. 50% off at Michael's. One of these days, I will be the proud owner of a set of Copic markers but until then my daughter told me that these color pencils will work and with a 120 colors to pick from, I am like a kid in a candy store. I used rose red from Stampin' up - it has a lavender hue which was perfect. I won the twine - yes a blog hop and the stars were from Michael's as well.  Stickles on the rockets. Oh and last but most importantly the stamp set is the one I won a while back from Market Street Stamps. If you zoom in on my cloud you will see that they are residuals from the powder- I left it like that to make it look more like a real cloud. The only thing that is missing is a couple of pics which my granddaughter told me should be a picture of her mom and her Auntie Vanessa.

This was suppose to be for the Market Street Challenge

 I decided to do something different. I just felt like the colors did not pop in the way I wanted. So I guess, I will need to go shopping for the colors. This challenge required the use of the colors Sunshine Yellow,  Caribbean Blue and Plum and you had to use a Market Street Stamp which I was luck enough to win. I colored the rockets with Martha Steward Markers and my Sharpie fine point permanent markers. I used my newly purchased Stampin' Pad rose red on one rocket and studio G lavender pigment ink on the other one. I also used Yellow, orange and black Stickles. The Colors are a little off but the red is actually more plum. The background paper is from a Christmas pack. The sentiment was embossed with Martha Steward gold. I covered the faces of the other staff members and the students with PK - Wide Eyed Kids to protect their privacy. I also covered up their names and the name of the school with the ribbon. All of that was removed. This is just the latest and last page that will go into my Class Pictures Scrapbook. I will have to dedicate another scrapbook to my annual school pictures seeing that I still have at least 3 to 5 more years before I will be eligible to retire. Then I will be able to scrap to my hearts content. 

PKS Sketch Challenge 48

                                        

Bonjour everyone - I hope you like my card.

My goal was to challenge myself and use colors I don't typically use.
Orange and yellow are two of my least favorite colors but I love the color combination here.
I also used a stamp set I purchased yesterday.  I used four stamps out of the set.
I often buy material and then it just sits there forever. I wonder how many of you out there can relate? The orange paper is from my stash. The Yellow based paper if from Debbie Mumm for Jo-Ann Travel paper pack. The Lace Tape, strip of brown ribbon and the large brad are all from Stampabilities.
The image was stamped on Professional Cartooning Paper from Big Art the super slick finish is designed to allow pens and markers to glide with a clean crisp result - it worked really well.
I used stampin' write from Stampin' Up! to color the image and their Chocolate Chip water-based dye ink and a punch to curve the corners.

Pk Flower Challenge

The flowers were stamped with a set from BoBunny and the PK face was from the Wide-Eye Kids face assortment and the sentiment was from the Mark and Sharon Love Frogs set.  The ribbon was from La. Di.Dah  and the card is  from an unknown source.  Hope you all like it even though it was created at the last minute

PK Sketch Challenge 47

Another PK Challenge - Bling, Bling & More Bling

The back ground on the card is glitter paper from DCWV Safari Kids Cardstock Matstack that I got for $2.50 at Hobby Lobby - I love clearance aisles and sales . 

Martha Steward (MS) ribbon on both the top and the bottom of the card and along the side. 

The green paper is from the same  DCWV pack.  The Green circle was cut with MS Circle cutter and was  embossed with Jim Holz Alternation Texture Fade Swirl set - I distressed with a sandpaper block and then used yellow Stickles to add more Bling. The Floral circle is chipboard from Me & My Big Idea that I sprayed with glitter spray that my daughter turned me on to. Wish you all could see it better.

And of Course a PK Wide Eyed Kid that was colored on textured paper - hence the texturized effect. Doesn't she look mischievous? 

I used a MS color pencils Cinnamon for the skin and I used sunfish for the cheeks/blush. 

Freckles were made with my brown Sharpie marker. The gemstone butterfly is from Recollection Boutique Fleur set - on sale of course. I used the orange butterfly to pick up on the orange on the chipboard.

 The because... stamp was from Michael's $.99 bin and the letters are from Colorbok - circles of course,  and Prima Flowers which I went back and placed some Gems on afterwards.
