I picked the digi stamp called “Five little Froggies”  I already had “Lucky Leprechaun.” (Follow the links to get yours.)

I colored the images w/ Copics. The Rainbow is a cut-out some one gave me last year, I sprayed it w/ Gold Glimmer Mist. I made some Shamrocks out of green Sclupy clay and a cutter. The Leprechaun is popped up on pop dots. The sentiment is a ribbon from Wal-Mart.  I used daubers and Stampin’ Up! inks in: Pool Party, and Yo Yo Yellow to make my BG. The cut out Butterfly is: “Beautiful Wings” Stampin’ Up! Embosslits Die. Rhinestones from stash.

Thank you for your visit today, Thank you for your comments. I hope you come on over to Robyn’s Fetish at The Crafter’s Cafe’ because Susan Paulson always has something fun planned!

Beach Fat Page Swap by Robyn’s Fetish!

Standard

 

Hi friends, I wanted to share a Fat Book Page with you. Over at Robyn’s Fetish on The Crafter’s Cafe’ Susan Paulson hosted a Beach Themed Fat Page swap. She gave all who signed up for it a free digi. We could choose between “Beach Kitty” (That’s the one I chose) or “Shells for Sell.”

I made this by cutting cardboard to the 4×4 requirements of a Fat page. Toped it with sandy looking DT from DCWV, also cut out a surf board from the same paper pack. I colored my image with Copic markers. The senti: “You are my Sunshine” is a freebie from Tlc Creations -also on The Crafter’s Cafe’.  I added some sterling silver butterflies and rhinestones from stash. I then used Goosebumps‘ spray it leave a shiny, bumpy, sparkly texture that I just freakin’ LOVE! I found it when I went to Stamp Fest in Orlando, FL. However I was looking on the net to show a friend what it looks like and found several places on the web that carry it BUT I just found it at Scrapbook.com for way less then the other places. So if you want to check it out then click here.

Here is a picture of the Fat Page sent to me by Susan Salyer, she chose the digi “Shells for Sale”

 

I just love her coloring on this! The senti and shell pops out on pop dots! I just totally love this and I think Susan did a great job! Thank you Susan S. for your love you put into making my Fat page.

Thank you for your visit today, hope you enjoyed it! Stay crafty my friends!

Some {ippity} inspiration for GHWI22 color combo challenge!

Standard

 

Good morning fellow crafters! I would like to share some {ippity} goodness with you today. GHWI22 color combo challenge is still going on, and Im here to inspire you, then you can inspire us and show is your take on the color challenge using only {ippity} or unity stamps. Here are the colors:

I have used {ippity} stamp set “Bloom and Simplify”

I have used {ippity} stamp set “Now and Always

 

To make this card I first made a collage of stamps. I used 3 of the flowers in the “Now and Always” set, randomly stamped the flowers in Bravo Burgundy, More Mustard, and Calypso Coral. Then from the “Bloom and Simplify”  set I used the words and stamped that with Night of Navy on top of the flowers. I then cut out panels, backed them with black card stock. I used Cuttlebug’s embossing folder Script for the back ground. My card base is Bravo Burgundy card stock. Ribbon from stash, resin rose and rhinestone from SU. I colored the butterfly from the “Now and Always” set with a SU blender pen and a Calypso Coral marker for the wings,  a Night of Navy marker for the head, and a More Mustard marker for the body. I popped up the butterfly w/ an SU pop-dot.

I hope you like today’s inspiration, I hope I have inspired you to create something, if so come and show us at our current color combo challenge.
