4 Crafty Chicks- Marker It Up

Halloween is just around the corner, so I took the opportunity to sneak in another fun card for this week's challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks. Our challenge this week is called "marker is up" and you just have to use markers on your project.  I have used my Copics of course to color this image called "Autumn Frog" from The Stamping Boutique.  Papers are once again from my scrap stash, yes it's never ending- lol!!! I did use my new punch from EK Success and I know it looks crooked on card but it's not, it's how it's sitting in grass (still playing with a good place to take pics). Sentiment is a small wood block Studio G, which I have stamped with CTMH pansy purple ink and punched out using my SU' punches.

4 Crafty Chicks- Color Challenge

It's week 2 of my guest designer month at 4 Crafty Chicks and this week is a color challenge.  Our challenge colors are "Old Olive, Rose Road, Baja Breeze, and Early Espresso."  Well I don't have these colors from Stampin' Up, so I had to try to match my CTMH papers with a little help from a color comparison chart I found online.  I have used Olive, Cranberry, Crystal Blue, Chocolate, and Colonial White- when I first saw this combo I didn't think I could make it work, but love the final result! The patterned papers are from CTMH also except the green (blue is from Miracle and red is from Mistletoe).  I found this great sketch on Feline Playful site and the sentiment is a freebie I got at Sentimental Sundays. A few little pearls and ribbon to complete this card, oh and I layered up the inside too!

4 Crafty Chicks- Monochromatic

I am so excited to share that I was selected as a guest designer for October at 4 Crafty Chicks, so for the next four weeks I hope to inspire you with my projects.  This week's challenge is "monochromatic" and I found this great sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping.  I have used the CTMH stamp set called "happiness" for the flowers, which I have stamped in black ink using second generation for bottom layers of flowers.  the sentiment is also from CTMH and is from the "for every occasion set."I have added a little bling also!

This is going to be a great go to card for me and perfect for using up all those scraps!  Check out the other monochromatic designs I have created.  I think I am going to make these into some sets of these to give as gifts!
