365 Cards - Day 338 - Brad Bonanza

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday with 365 Cards! Today's challenge is titled "Brad Bonanza"...can you guess what that means?!? Specifically Pam wants to see you use 10 (or more) brads on your project. For my sample I made a "non-traditional" valentine's day card with this super cute Changito stamp and sentiment. He's colored with Copics and yes, those are two brads on the tires! The other brads are pretty obvious across the bottom of the card (that's another 9 for a total of 11 brads). It's kinda hard to see but I (*) embossed a stripped pattern on the brown panel. Here's the other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. Alphabet Challenge Blog - Z for Zoo Animals
2. Anything Goes Challenge Blog - to the one that I love
3. Crafty Sentiments - punches and/or dies: the border is a punch and the image and sentiment were cut with dies
4. Digi Doodle Shop 's Best - anything goes
5. Eat Sleep Stamp - sketch
6. Lollipop Crafts - anything goes
7. Mami Doodles: Digital Stamps  - for a loved one
8. Pixie Dust Studio Pixie Challenge - let's go to the zoo
9. Sentimental Sundays - dry embossing (see * above)
10. Stamp-n-doodle - romance, love, and/or valentines
11. Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday - anything goes
12. Stampin' for the Weekend - embossing (see * above)

Thanks for stopping by and can't wait to see your all your brads!!

365 Cards and a so long for now...

Aloha and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday with 365 Cards and D2D!! Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to make a card with a nautical theme and I thought this image (Quiet Sunset) from Faith at D2D was perfect. I colored it up on watercolor paper with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. The DSP is SU! Bella Bleu and the hardware is also SU! The knot is supposed to be a heart...not sure I quite got it there but you can find the tutorial for it here. Here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. Challenge up your life - thank you
2. Kaboodle Doodles Challenge - thank you
3. Sketches by Carly - sketch
4. The Crafty Pad - something for the boys
5. Totally Stampalicious - Masculine
6. CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS - anything goes

Thanks for stopping by again and I also wanted to let you know that this will be my last sample as a member of the D2D team. I love Faith's images and being on the DT has been great but as we all find sometime we need to take a break and recoup...that's where I find myself. I still plan to play along and hopefully will be back on the team some day so it's "so long for now..."

Aloha,

365 Cards - Day 324 - Bold Banner

Aloha and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday at 365 Cards! Today's challenge is titled "Bold Banner" and Pam wants to see a banner be the focus of your card and include the sentiment on it. I broke out my super fun pennant punch from SU!, my bright and colorful Big Top Birthday DSP and some sparkly rhinestones to make this card! Not sure I've ever done a card in this color combo (Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight) but I gotta admit that I like it! I'm thinking this would make a wonderful birthday card. Here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. 2 Sisters Challenge Blog - metal: got some of those much neglect metal eyelets on this one
2. Alphabet Challenge Blog - Y for You Can Choose
3. Crafty Sentiments - anything goes
