A Winter Scene for Timeless Tuesday

 

This week’s Timeless Tuesday challenge #247 is brought to us by Hostess Deborah:

Oh my goodness, 2013 is flying and December is almost here! Hard to believe. I suppose it would be more believable to me if we had typical Nebraska weather right now. But it is unseasonably warm. Unfortunately, I am sure winter is coming (I am a summer girl)!

 

I used one of my favorite winter sets - images from Flourishes' Snow Day. I stamped them on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored in a bit with Copic markers. 

I added Clear and Pink Spica Glitter pen to the pom poms and laces.

The cute mini pom pom trim is perfect since the skates have pom poms too!

Be sure to check out what my team mates have created because they do amazing work! And come play along!

Timeless Tuesday #246

 

This week’s Timeless Tuesday challenge #246 is brought to us by Hostess Allison:

 Aren't they fabulous?
I chose the second sketch and Autumn Blessings for my card today. 

I stamped my wheat with VersaFine Sepia on Classic Ivory cardstock and then embossed with Clear powder. I colored in the bow with a Copic marker (BG72) and then tied some twine around the middle. It is layered on to the Victorian Ovals large die. 

My sentiment is also stamped with Sepia and then cut out using a Spellbinders banner die. I added a button and twine for embellishment. My designer paper is by Authentique.

I hand cut my wheat but there is a fabulous SVG file available if you have the right machine!

This week’s Timeless Tuesday challenge #245 is brought to us by Hostess Cheryl:

I cut my "negative" frame using a Spellbinders Labels Seventeen die and used Walnut Grove 6x6 paper as my designer paper. My images are from Dreaming of Florence. I stamped my sentiment in Palette Noir ink and colored in the scene using Copic markers. A pretty ribbon and bow, some lace trim, and a fancy brad, and my autumn greeting is ready to send.

Timeless Tuesday #244

 

This week’s Timeless Tuesday challenge brought to us by Hostess Katie is to…

 

My images are from one of my favorite sets, Flourishes' Pinwheels & Popsicles. Sunday was a beautiful day - perfect for ice cream and this card. Today, it is quite a bit colder, so I will have to make another plaid card for tomorrow since I think it is finally going to be moving on to winter here soon.

I stamped my cone Kraft cardstock, and then colored in with Prismacolor pencils. I added a little Spica Glitter pen to the cherry (Red) and cone (Chocolate) hash marks.

Be sure to check out what my team mates have created! Today we are saying goodbye to the very talented and sweet Broni. She will be missed on our team!

Timeless Tuesday #239 - Pointilism

This week’s Timeless Tuesday challenge brought to us by Hostess Allison is to…

Create a card or project using DOTS to color your back ground and/or part of your image.  This technique is known as POINTILLISM  (FTTC239).

I love this technique and used it to color my image as well as my background.

 

My images are from Flourishes' Love Notes. I stamped the guitar with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored in with my Copics using all dots. I left it a little open and not so blended to match the theme of the card. 

I added Light Blue Chevron Twill ribbon and an embossed button with blue twine to add some color.  Not many other frills, as I wanted this to be more on the masculine side.

Timeless Tuesday #238 - Let It Shine!

It's Tuesday and that means a new Friends of Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. This week Cheryl is our hostess and she is challenging us to “Let It Shine”!

Just incorporate a light source in your card: …a candle, lamp, lighthouse, fire, the sun…  
—anything, as long as you “Let It Shine!“.

(FTTC238)

I chose the lantern and matching sentiment from S'more Fun. I stamped with VersaMark ink and embossed with Clear embossing powder. I then used Copic markers from the collections below to color my image. The cloud background is from a handcut stencil and is sponged with Bashful Blue ink.

Timeless Tuesday #235 - In Distress

My sweet friend, Deb, is our Hostess today for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #235. Her challenge is all about Distressing! Use your Distress inks, edge distressers, tear some paper, or distress a shabby chic style project.  Get in distress!

I chose Just My Type for my card today and decided to use some yummy pink goodness with it! Pink is my favorite color, and it always brings a smile to my face! I stamped the sentiment using Rose Bud ink. My pinking shears (found brand new - vintage - at an antique store!) made some fun edges and I used my distressing tool for some others. Everything is held together with Scor-Tape.

Dainty Doilies

I am the hostess for this week’s Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge. Our challenge is to use doilies in your creation (FTTC234)! I love the sweet look of all sorts of doilies. You can use purchased doilies or a doily die cut. I chose a purchased doily for my design.

 

I love all of the different flowers from Flourishes’ Old Fashioned Florals. My floral image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on watercolor paper, and then embossed with Clear embossing powder. I watercolored using reinkers and a tiny watercolor brush. The sentiment is stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink. I used Spellbinders Oval and Scalloped Oval dies to frame my pretty florals. A little ribbon and twine and a button and pearl center finish it off.

I am excited to see what you will make!

Timeless Tuesday #231

It’s July and we’re right in the throes of wedding season so this week, your Timeless Tuesday challenge is to create a card or project where you use "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Allison is our hostess this week and her challenge is to use something:

• OLD – use something older from your product stash (paper, embellishments, etc.)
• NEW - the newest stamp that you just acquired
• BORROWED – scraplift or CASE a “design” from our Flourishes Gallery (*PLEASE link & credit the project inspiration piece from our gallery.)
• BLUE – add something blue on it!

**PS:  Your creation does NOT have to be a wedding themed project!**

I used one of my newest Flourishes sets, Pinwheels & Popsicles. I borrowed my inspiration from one of my sweet stamping friends and Flourishes DT member, Tosh!

I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in using the Copic Collections below.

I added some Spica Glitter pens to the pinwheels centers. My "old" is my embossing folder and my "new" is the stamp set.

Read all about the challenge and how to play HERE. 
I hope you will come play along!
Please be sure to check out what the rest of the team made!

Timeless Tuesday #230 - Christmas in July

This week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #230 is Christmas in July (FTTC230), but with a catch!  It has to be SEMI-FLAT for mailing, so NO big bows or lumpy bumpy envelopes on this one!  Katie is our hostess, and she did say semi-flat, so there is a little room for extras - like bling!

I used my favorite winter set: Snow Day, and made a pink and white Christmasy delight! I stamped the skates in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in using the Lenten Rose and Cool Neutrals Copic Collections.
