TSC DT: Sometimes life just stinks

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. Just popping in with another card and image from The Stamping Chef storeToday I decided to not use a Smexy lady but a sort of angry baby. LOL Well she’s a toddler named Tess and this digi Now we wait Isn’t she just too funny?

Well, sometimes life just stinks like poo in the loo. LOL (plug in some foreign accent while saying it.) This card is aimed to cheer up someone who has been in the dumps or has been having a bad time. I’m sure this image can be used in many different way though.

Okay here is my card.

The monochromatic theme was not intended that way…. it just got that way all on it’s own. LOL jk I'm just trying these to match papers then I got too matchy-matchy but it worked out fine. The roses (from Wild Orchid Crafts) were white and I colored them with my Copic refills just by applying a few drops here and there. The toilet paper rolls I actually used real toilet paper. The empty toilet roll to make tiny paper toilet rolls wasn’t too hard but you just need a fast drying glue…. I just moved my things around with my hubby last week and my desk space is a hot mess. I don’t know where my hot glue gun which would of sped up the process greatly.

Well that is it for now.

I hope you liked my card.

Thank you for stopping by.

JIC DT: Monochromatic SSD

Hello Crafty Peeps :)

Here with another Design Team A card for Just Inspirational Challenges. This week I'm very happy that we got to have Sassy Studio Designs as our sponsor. Thank you very kindly SSD (even my hubby likes the image- I think it's the hair... what do you think? [giggles])

Her name is Sexy Cupid Sassy and you can purchase her at http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/ on blog date Feb. 15, 2014.

When I got my image I was too excited about the image and realized that I hadn't colored her as a monochrome (ooops!) LOL So I'll have to post that one another day, plus it's not a card yet. Ha! Okay, I colored this one in Sepia sort of tones with Copic markers - mostly E30's.

The Paper is from Prima Marketing: Julie Nutting "Buff A4 paper pad"

I bought from one of my favorite small business online shops:

http://www.thestamproom.com/

http://www.thestamproom.com/a4paperpad-buff.aspx

ah she (Kina) still has it on sale 40% off. I also bought the tiny clouds from her shop

but couldn't find them anymore to give you the link.

The sepia was a little challenging for me...

I was almost getting used to coloring with the same

color combo for skin/hair/eyes

In the end even with some marker and paper booboos I had fun... just don't look too close.

Have to give credit to the poet. I found this Haiku online. I read it and I instantly loved it :)

Beautiful angel

With dark brown eyes staring with
A heart filled with love

Haiku poem by India Wilridge

I felt like it matched this image wonderfully.

Here's an extra picture- it shows the colors a little truer than the first picture

and shows the tiny dies a little better.

Green Eggs...

Hello Everyone!

Just popping in for a second to show my card.

Betty at Simply B Stamps creates these pretty awesome stamps and often shares with us for free ;) but we have to use the image her monthly challenge. This month's challenge Betty and her partner in crime, Corinne Jones, gave us an option to use a male or female but we couldn't see the image yet... all we had to do is e-mail Corinne stating we wanted the image either in male or female form. I have so many female digis so this time I said male. LOL I so want to female version too but I'll save my pennies for that one and buy it later.
This past month challenge was held atSimply B Stamps Fan Group (It's a closed group so if you want to join just send her a message on facebook... lots of chit chat about everything...mostly joking around with our friend Corinne and sharing our work with each other... there are also fun swaps and tutorials.) Okay, this past month the challenge was "NO Pastels" using either Bunny Ears Judy or Bunny Ears Scott. You can find them here: http://simplybstamps.net/category_202/Sweet-Gothic-Kids-Easter-Digis.htm They're on sale right now I just noticed ;)

Simply B Stamp digi stamp used: Bunny Ears Scott

This is for my brother David (he actually kind of looks like this digi LOL.) He just got back from New York and is going back soon. I found a joke online and thought it was perfect for him.

"What do you call a city with 20 Millions Eggs?"

Inside it reads: "New Yolk City!"

LOL yes, kind of corny, I know... but it's all in fun.

I used only Greens and Warm Grays- All with Spectrum Noir markers.

Used a Tim Holtz -brick wall embossing folder on core'dinations cardstock and distressed it with an emery board (nail file), the designer papers are from K & Company- Sheer Simplicity Green
