Extended Weekend

Aloha!

Do you love Riley? The Funny Bones sentiments just tickle me!!!! This card is going to be entered into the Coffee Loving Papercrafters 2017 Summer Blog Hop

Colored with Copic Markers, and then used Nuvo Black drops for the decorations on the chair and Riley's eyes. I used the Nuvo Clear drops on the coffee cup and cupcake. The wall and floor are scored to resemble wood planks, then inked directly from some ink pads.

The sentiment must have been one of the hardest ones I've ever tried to stamp. It took about a dozen tries, maybe more, then I gave up. This will have to do lol. It either was way too light or way too dark or smudgy. I tried cleaning the stamp several times, using 3 different inks, and cleaned in between attempts. Oh, well.

Cardstock: GKD 120# & 80# white, Bazzill Black layering, GKD pattern paper

Aloha friends!

Almost at the finish line

Pant pant pant...

We are nearing the end of a month long challenges run at SCS Hope You Can Cling To journey. I will upload the last few I've made, just to save us time and typing :)

1. Blue Suede (shoes) Slingback Pumps!

Yes, this was for a challenge based on any of Elvis' songs. Used the Sakura glitter pen on the heels and shoe lining. Thank you to Kyra Scrapycat at STV for sending me her gifts of GKD Ocean Mist Ink and Ribbon which matches my GKD Ocean Mist buttons perfectly. Ahhh. Matchy matchy.
I also touched the glitter pen to all the smallest circles on the dp, and along the borders of the wonky rectangle and sentiment. It's really sparkly IRL. {Stamp Set: You've Got Style by GKD}

2. Sparkles in my heart in this Floral. Stamps by GKD, a la Theresa Momber with "Aloha" stamp set. I colored the flowers with Copics, then dusted the tops of everything with Stickles Diamond glitter and on the leaf, Lime Glitter. I simply embossed the card with Sizzix Birds (and Wreath) EF. Finally, I dotted the stamen with Viva Gold Pen dots. I do love sparkles! So I gave the birdie a little blue rhinestone eye :* {Stamp Set: Aloha by GKD}

3. While this is not for the SCS HYCCT challenges, it is for a friend living in Indonesia. She is superbly artistic and I sent her some PSX, Northwoods, and D. Morgan scenic stamps to play with. Hope you like them Dina!  ♥ {I think this stamp by is Precious Moments, sorry I can't remember for sure} Doesn't she remind you of the Little House on the Prairie Show?

4. Who doesn't like Winnie the Pooh? Esp Classic Pooh? I thought this could cheer up someone coping with the treatment for breast cancer, bring back memories from long ago.

It's very simply colored, sponged in clouds, used a tree stamp from a recent GKD set, and added dry embossing to the background dp. I had some dark chocolate brown pearls and the silk blue Maya Arts ribbon as embellies. HANG ON POOH AND PIGLET! {Stamp Set: Touch the Sky by All Night Media}

5. Riley Riley Riley. You daredevil you. Isn't he fun? I colored with Copics and added Stickles diamonds as big, snowball size snow flakes dumping onto him. He is a beginner skier but took the Black Diamond Lifts... This can't end well. I love the inside sentiment -- "Yeah, I don't have one of those." {Stamp Set: Ski Riley by Riley & Co.} Handtyped and printed the sentiments.

6. Finally, there is a mixed media card to share. Throwing caution to the wind, I reached for whatever was close and not used much. So this is the first time breaking open both the natural Mica flakes and the A/C duct tape from Home Depot (thanks honey). I embossed the sentiment (Darice Border Sentiments) onto AC tape, and after adhering the AC tape to cardstock, I cut it with Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly #3 Medium (whew) die cut. Then I rubbed on paste in dark green and gold to the dp and both the sentiment and to the butterfly, added a few turquoise gems for color. Lastly, I sprayed fixative over the top to hopefully adhere the mica flakes permanently. The flakes went on top of Glossy Accents. The butterfly is popped on foam.

I know this is a lot to look at and try to absorb.

Thank you ever so much for

stopping by and leaving your tender comments!!!

Aloha ♥

Whoooosh!

Hi there buddies,

To say I am completely exhausted is a total understatement. I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone type anything that makes sense.

I've made 12 cards (?) in the last few days. It usually takes me about 3 days to make one card. My brain is overcooked oatmeal now.

Be that as it may, I made another challenge card for SCS DTGD. This is Riley. I love this guy.

The card base is from GKD in Sand. This time I tore the white card 'on purpose.' I edged it with some color by Memento inks, Sea Breeze. Added a lot of Stickles Diamond glue, cut out the image with Spellbinders labels 16, edged it with blue, colored him with Memento markers, and added sparkle to him to make it look brrrr cold.

The background is embossed with Sizzix Snow Burst embossing folder. I added some orange jute, a sparkly snowflake and a big blue rhinestone in the middle.

The sentiment (Hero Arts "Everyday Sayings") was stamped onto Spellbinders Fancy Tags 1, and added two more little blue rhinestones. I think I covered everything.

May all your days be filled with ink. Many thanks, and much aloha to you ~ Rosy

Thank you so much for coming by for a look!!!
