Outlawz Birthday Card Challenge ~ February 28

Happy Monday!!!!  It's time for the weekly Outlawz Birthday Card Challenge.  Your card this week should include a circle and string or ribbon.  Please come and join us we'd love to have you.  :)   My Pink Cat Studio image was colored with Copics.  I used a MS border punch, as well as Spellbinders' circle dies.  I made my ribbon into a flower, and it's the first time I've ever done this so hopefully it'll get a bit better with time.  ;)   Thanks so much for stopping by.  :)

House of Gilli ~ Challenge #1

Hello ~ Today I present my Gilli creation for the very first challenge at House of Gilli!!! To play along  you follow a recipe challenge chosen by Suzanne Dean:

RECIPE CHALLENGE

-Use some form of Sparkle

-Use 3 Patterned Papers

-Use at least 2 dies and/or punches

-You do not have to use a Gilli for this project

BUT IF you use a Gilli you get 2 chances okay ;)

(your entries must follow this recipe to be qualified)

This Challenge will END on Feb. 27th

Post your card or other project over at  House of Gilli where you will also find all the details of the contest including some wonderful prizes!!!

For my very first Gilli Challenge I used the lovely Waitress Gilli which you can purchase at Stamping Scrapping. 

I colored Gilli with Copic markers and also airbrushed the flowers to coordinate with Gilli.  I used the Spellbinders Beaded Circle found here.  The sparkle is hard to see in my picture but I used Stardust Stickles on Gilli's shirt and shoes, as well as, Crystal Stickles on the outline of the beaded circle.  Come to think of it, a lot of sparkle isn't showing up because I also used MS glitter on the polka dots in the circle punch.

This Gilli card will most likely be a Mother's Day card, and I'll put a gift certificate inside for a tea shop.  Some Waitress Gilli ideas:  Cards containing gift cards for restaurants, coffee, gift tags for baked goods or other delicious gifts, note to a friend asking to meet up for coffee, lunch or dinner.  I can think of many more, but I'd love you to post your ideas too!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you over at the House of Gilli!

I'm entering Waitress Gilli in the following challenges:
Copic Creations ~ Challenge #44, Warm Colors
Catered Crop ~ Follow the Recipe 6 ~ Used in recipe:  apron on image, ribbon, Diamond Glaze, border punch and die cut, and mixing patterns

Outlawz Birthday Card Challenge ~ February 21

Happy Monday Everyone ~ It's time for the birthday challenge over at Outlawz!!!!  The theme for this week is "anything winter" and I'm hoping it represents a farewell to winter.  ;)   We had a taste of Spring last week which fooled me into thinking we'd have no more cold weather.  My birthday card features an image from Pink Cat Studio and is colored with Copics.  The snowman got a coating of Diamond Glaze on his hat and the frogs some Star Dust Stickles on their little stocking caps.  The snowman and background got a sprinkling of MS glitter, and the snowflake punch-outs are by MS.

Please stop by House of Gilli  to enter the challenge using the recipe you'll find over there........... and be sure to stop back here on Wednesday as I'll have a Gilli project for the challenge.  :)

Party at Outlawz!!!

We have extra prizes for challenges this week over at Outlawz!  Today begins the Birthday Challenge which is to design a Western theme card; that also has a birthday sentiment on the front.  I found a cute cowgirl card to use for this challenge, and she's a digi image from Pink Cat Studio.  As usual I colored the image with Copics on Cryogen paper.  I added Diamond glaze to the balloon and Star Dust stickles to the hat band.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday!
