Today's Techno Lunchtime Challenge

It's a very rainy Monday here and I'm sure my lunch kiddos will have a hard time being inside today for recess!  It's been a long winter, and I think we are all looking forward to warmer weather soon!

Monday also means that it's time for Techno Stamper Monday Lunchtime Challenge!  Below is today's sketch challenge; great sketch with lots of fun possibilities!  When you are finished with your sketch, you can load it HERE

For my card I thought I would combine two challenges (Monday Lunchtime & LNS) into one card.  This week's LNS challenge is to use the color combo of Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Summer Starfruit.  I stamped the two flower images in Rich Razzleberry, and then watercolored the flowers with a blender pen using Rich Razzleberry ink.  I cut the flowers out and then layered them over the Old Olive leaves using Dimensionals.  It was a pretty simple card to make, and it has a nice clean and simple look to it.  Here's what I used:

Stamps: Fabulous Florets

Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive

Papers: Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, Summer Starfruit

Accessories: Big Shot, Lacy Brocade EF, Vine Street EF, Oval Die, Summer Starfruit Dahlia, Dimensionals

Monday's Technostamper Lunch Challenge!

It's Monday and spring break, and it's lightly snowing!  Spring still hasn't come to the Chicago land area yet, and I can't wait for it start warming up!

We have another fun Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge for you!  You can find the sketch below.  When you are finished crafting your work of art, you can download it HERE

I have two card views for this challenge.  After I created my first card (bottom card), I felt it was too plain and needed a little something extra.  I used the Bitty Butterfly Punch from the current Occasions Catalog to punch out 3 butterflies from the Tea for Two DSP (also from the Occasions Catalog).

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks: Calypso Coral
Papers: Very Vanilla, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso, Tea for Two DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Lacy Brocade EF, Bitty Banner Framelits, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Blossom Punch, Pearls, Neutral Button, Calypso Coral Ribbon, Sponges, Sewing Machine/Thread, Dimensionals, Mini-Glue Dots

Ttry Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge

Happy New Year's Everyone!  I hope 2013 is filled with many blessings to you and your family!

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge!  We have a great sketch for you, which you can find below.  After you have created your work of art, you can load it on the Try Stampin' on Tuesday blog HERE.



For my take on this sketch I used the stamp set, Field Flowers, and paired it with the stamp sets, Four Frames and Itty Bitty Backgrounds.  The flower images were stamped using Wisteria Wonder Ink; one flower was stamped on scratch cardstock and then cut it out. I distressed the edge of the cardstock with a distressing tool. I used the new Needlepoint Border EF to make the impressions on the top and the bottom of the card. I ran the ribbon through a slider and then added a 5/8" Vanilla Flower (from the new spring catalog) over the slider.  Below is a list of items I used to make my card:

Stamps: Field Flowers, Four Frames, Itty Bitty Backgrounds
Inks: Wisteria Wonder, Old Olive
Papers: Wisteria Wonder, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Big Shot, Lacy Brocade EF, Needlepoint Border EF, Vanilla Flower, Old Olive Ribbon, Pearls, Slider, Decorative Label Punch, Distressing Tool, Dimensionals
