QKR Stampede Challenge #224 - Snowman or Snowflakes

Hard to believe the year is over!  It's been the best AND worst year of my life!  My son getting married was the highlight, we gained an AWESOME daughter in law!  The low point was the passing of my mom, however, she is in a much better place and not suffering any more!  So, CHEERS to 2017!

Our challenge this week at QKR Stampede is "Snowman or Snowflakes".  I chose image #10501 Feeding the Birds.  I colored him with copics, cut out on my Cameo, and clear wink of stella all over him.  I used Stampin' Up! softly falling embossing folder, Memory Box snowflake corner die, Impression Obsession Evergreen trees and Hill Landscape dies.  Papers are all from my stash, frosted lace stickles for the snow, on the trees and on the falling snow.

QKR Stampede Challenge #214 - Wild West


It's Friday and time for a Wild West challenge at QKR Stampede!  I knew immediately I wanted to use image #16312 Cowboy Pumpkin...but I struggled on what to do for a card!  I searched Pinterest and found one by Tippy Toe Crafts to case. I imported the image into Silhouette Studio, duplicated, flipped around, printed, cut out, and colored with copics. The card is a bendy card by Samantha Walker and the cactus set by Sarah Bailey, both available in the Silhouette Store.  For the sunset, I sprayed a coffee filter with water and then dropped red and yellow food coloring to get this effect. The rope is some twine I had in my stash, mowed lawn distress ink on the green cactus, kraft paper for the card, dark brown cs from my stash, and brown wood paper from Doodlebug Design Happy Harvest 6x6 paper pad.

Mark & Carol's 35th Anniversary

Our good friends are celebrating their 35th Anniversary and I thought this was the perfect image for them!  This is Stella and Gus from Bugaboo and can be purchased for $3.00.  I colored them with copics, glossy accents for their glasses, and cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched rectangle die.   DP from Doodlebug Designs, coral and green cs from Smith Crafts.  I didn't have any matching ribbon, so I colored white ribbon with the same color as her dress, sentiment heat embossed with black embossing powder, gems from The Paper Studio, and walnut stain distress ink.

A traditional gift for 35th anniversary is coral, modern gift is jade, and gem stone is Emerald...how I chose my color pattern.
