Tuesday Throwdown

Here at Tuesday Throwdown we are excited about some 

changes that will taking place. Be sure to stop by next week 

to get the scoop! 

For this week we are looking for some doodling on your

project. I took the opportunity to make the cover page 

for a new album I'm making for a friend from church.

 Starting with a blank page  I spritzed and smeared some 

springy colors around. Next started the doodling with some

 fun flowers, a cheery sun and some fun dots. Then
added some more color to them. Stamped a
couple dragonflies and  added a big
lavender flower for some fun. I outlined around
the words a couple times and matted them.
onto the lavender. Some doodling print to elaborate on
 the words. A little dimension paint on the sun and the dots.

 I drew my girl onto a page of

 vintage print. My friend is Latino and she is beautiful,

 feminine and has the most gorgeous hair I have ever seen,

 enough for at least four people and her favorite color is

 purple. The girl I drew has a mop of hair like Monica and

  dressed in her favorite color.  Her infectious laughter and 

constant encouraging words are a real blessing to everyone 

around her so I think this cover reflects her personality.

 I have lots more pages to do. Maybe I will share them

 with you when I have finished.
Sherrod Studios is our Sponsor this week so be sure to join us,
you may be the winner of the $25.00 gift cert.

Happy Monday...Time for a new challenge at FOSTV. 

 

 This weeks we are to use die cuts. I love using dies 

so this was right up my alley! Do you have those pieces

  of paper in your stash you are holding onto with a power

 grip LOL. Well I told my self I must break loose with them, 

so used a piece of Pink Paislee, Webster Pages and a

 piece of  peachy SU solid. I cut a five inch strip and folded

 like a tent card so I could put some of the soaps  I had 

made inside. The flap was cut with a Spellbinder label # 4.

 I cut the sentiment out with a Spellbinder Fancy Tag and

 the attached to the top flap. Both the butterflies are

 Cherry Lynn dies. Isn't this dogwood image beautiful, 

you can find this one along with all your other paper 

crafting needs at Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. 

 I stamped it twice and water colored

 both them cutting one out, adding the pieces to other image

 to create some extra dimension.The image was cut with

 the Spellbinder Scalloped Oval. Using the Spellbinder

 Floral Ovals I cut out the striped dp and added the image

 to it. The edging is cut from a Paper Trey Ink Fillegree die

Inside I punched a couple holes to pull the hand dyed

 ribbon thru to tie on the bag of soaps. The sentiment is cut

 with a Spellbinder Pennant Die.

This week our challenge is a Tent Topper Card.

 If you have never made one Pam put together a great tutorial

 Here. I was going for a rather C&S man card. My image is from 

the Big Boys Toys set. I love this old truck, it reminds me

 of one my grampa had! Is it not the coolest~   The scene was

 water colored and cut it out then matted and stitched onto

 the yellow. Using kraft card stock I cut out a piece with the 

Spellbinder Label #2 and added a piece of the Websters 

striped dp then stitched around it. Some more striped dp,

some stitching and a little twine tied with the fun yellow

 button completes my card. Hope you will stop by to see all

the fun tent topper cards my teammates made!

This is the prize for this weeks winner....stop on by!

Our Challenge for today is Tropical Paradise.

 It's certainly not tropical here in the desert but the 

Colorado River runs thru here and when summer hits it 

is the place to be. Flip flops are the perfect shoe for the

 beach so I chose to use the Summer Time 

Sandals image. All our images come from our sponsor

 Meljen's Designs. After water coloring my image I 

cut it with a Spellbinder Label #  I stitched some dp 

onto a pink Bazzill paper then added the image. Made 

some flowers to go with the fun flip flops. My teammates

 have some very fun cards for you today so stop by

 and visit them.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge

It's time for a new challenge and Tuesday Throwdown.  

We are looking for a clear element in your creation.

Our sponsor is Inked Treasures and Ashley have given us 

some fun images to work with. After water coloring my Fun
In The Sun Ellie image I cut it out with the Spellbinder
 looped square. I cut another looped square and then
cut the center out of it to create a frame to put my clear
 acetate on then popped up with foam

 dots to create a dimensional frame for my image. I actually 

stitched my image onto the plaid but the frame covers it up. After

 stitching the two layers on I added some buttons for a little fun.

 A sentiment finishes it off. My talented team mates have lots of 

fun inspiration for you so be sure to stop by and visit them.

Friends of Speedy Tv Challenge # 29

Looking forward to a good week, how about you??

Our new challenge this week at FOSTV is a sketch.

 I don't usually do Asian but one of the new releases for 

July is a Beautiful Asian Delights Set. I have used one of the 

single images of a lovely geisha doing a little water

 coloring and matting her.

 I found some SU Cherry Cobbler

 paper perfect for the mat cut with a Spellbinder Fleur De Lis

. I had this ribbon with an Asian flavor so that is what I used for

  my color inspiration. The Bg paper was created with

 some alcohol inks and stitched on.The Chinese symbols were

 stamped in a row to created one side of the strip and for

 the center circle. I used the Spellbinder Scalloped circle,

 Reverse Scalloped Circle and the Beaded Circle I chose to

add the HB sentiment to the inside of the card since there

was plenty going on on the front already.

 Stop by Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. 

to see the Asian set and the other new releases for this month.

Here is the Sketch to use  if you would like to join us.

If you come join us you could be the winner of this lovely set

We do not often get rain here in the desert but boy we did get a
humdinger  Saturday evening and night so I thought I would
share a couple pics. Looked like we were going
to float away  there for a bit lol!  I snapped a couple pics between
 rounds.This is the mountains directly behind my house after
the first round passed thru.

This one is the second round coming in. It is raining so hard
you can barely see the mountains. Many times in the desert it
comes fast and furious instead of softly,
 filling all the washes and roads with turbulent
waters, but never the less a blessing for such dry land.

so stately and have so much history to tell I love to visit them.

and several others so my card is sorta remenicent of that

 vacation. The image and sentiment is from the Island Life set

Happy Tuesday to you all. Our new challenge is Anything Goes and our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish. I used the Shell 4 Sale image. After some water coloring the image was cut out with the Spellbinder romantic rectangle, layered on the stripe with another rectangle rectangle then a stitched on stripe. Cant be on the beach with out a sun right, so I drew and cut out a fun cheery one. The sentiment was mounted on the punched blue with a little shell.

This week our theme at FOSTV is Red White&Blue.

 Digging in my stash I found a pretty piece of  RW&B 

print which I stitched onto a piece of blue gingham and 

then onto the white. They were all cut with the Spellbinder

 label # 1. My image is  from the Black Eyed Susan mini set. 

After water coloring I cut out leaving a white border to help

 it show up a little better and foam dotted on. I cut a tab 

and stitched it together and then attached to front and back

 of the cards in the corner. A little lace, hand dyed ribbon

 bow was tied with the little red button.
