Peachy Challenge 29 - Color inspiration


When I saw the colors for this challenge, I though of using the PK's Gnome set. 
Which I did use for the tree truck and the grass. I eventually decide to use PK's Kiss Me Leprechaun.
 I also used Market Street's background stamp on the tree trunk.
 I colored my little leprechaun with my copics. 
I love this colors combination.
Paper - DCWV's card block and K&Company solid mat pad.
Ribbon - American Carft
Twinery twine
Gems - Recollections

Peachy Keen Stamps August Release Challenge #2


OMG
OK, here is why. It just seemed like one mistake after another.
And as always I could hear my daughter telling me
"You can never make a mistake when scrap booking."
So I just kept working on it.

In the end, I was happy with it. 
The inside is blank. I think it can be used for a number of 
different occasions 

Materials: 
The flower pot of course is from PK's March stamp of the month. 
Flowers - Stampendous
Card K&Company
Kaisercraft Lavendar Pearls 
Liquid Pearl 
Copic Markers - 2 of the flowers were paper pieced
I colored them and then didn't like them,
so then I had to use flowers that I had previously colored.
Ribbon - Unknown source 
Flowers - Recollections
Spellbinder - Big Scalloped Circles large 

Peachy Keen Stamps August Release Challenge #1



OK, please bear with me here.
I am in a school frame of mind.
School starts here in NM next week. 

So for this challenge, I wanted to create a school theme card and
this months challenge required us to make a card with a unique or special fold, 
and also, use at least 3 patterned papers. 

 I used PKs July Stamp of the month set and My Creative Time's My Teacher Rocks.
 Pattern papers - DCWV the Papertime stack - printed card stock
I also used scrap pattern paper for his coverall and hat and on her skirt 
I absolutely love how they turned out. 
I colored with my copic markers
With the twine I pulled out all the strands.
I used Art - C suede on her skirt and liquid pearl on the bodice which I colored with my copics
Ribbon - unknown source

MKS July Color Challenge


I Actually made two cards
The first was made at my daughter's 
Color and paper piecing 
Paper scraps were used 
The stamp is of course from Market Street Stamp set that I was lucky enough to win.
The grass was created using the June Peachy Keen stamps of the month kit.

The second card I used my prismacolor pencils 
I blended with a stump and Sansodor
The sticker came from Stampabilities 
I then used some gems and stickles to jazz it up.

If you were to asking me which one I like the best ....
Ahh that would be tough so I will wait and see what you all think

Peachy Keen Challenge - 3D Objects


Gift Bag for my daughter's birthday 

The idea and measurements for this bag came from
Papercrafts & Stamp It! Treasury of Tips and Tricks

It is approximately & 7.5 inches tall 
Perfect for perfume or lotion, etc

I love the way the skirt turned out.
It was created with Recollectins Boutique Fleur in light and dark pink.
I just kept cutting and gluing until I was happy with the result.

I drew her out using Collage Couture by Julie Nutting as a guide, 
then traced the various pieces and paper pieced her and the outfit 
together.  What is cool about doing it this way is that I have the original that
I can use over and over again. Then I can change the details along the way.
The skirt turned out differently than I first imagines.
I only used two large size flowers. 
Then I placed a button and twine on one one button 
Liquid Pearl on the one on the skirt 
and then a glossy one one the top.

I often create bows but I changed it up seeing that the 
ribbon has a wired edge that you can do different things with. 

I have also discovered that it is best to create something and then 
allow it to sit for awhile and then add more details.
