Final Tuesday Throwdown Post.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! At least it isn't Monday! LOL  Today is my final post as the Guest Designer at Tuesday Throwdown. I want to thank Tuesday Throwdown for having me join them this month. It has been loads of fun! I have enjoyed it and appreciate the opportunity!!

Today they are hosting an Anything But A Card or Tag challenge. I had an image from Tiddly Inks that I have been wanting to use so I pulled it out and created a sign for my youngest daughters door. Here is what I came up with:






Sorry about the photos! The ones at an angle took better. I forgot to take photos before I taped it to her door. And its the tape that just doesn't come off LOL  I tried taking photos with no flash and the photos were dark even after I manipulated the camera settings to let in more light. At least you get the idea from an angle without too much glare. So, I started off with the label shape which I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out of chipboard and then black paper. I glued the black paper and then I took the blue, yellow, pink, green and gold paint and splattered the black paper. I covered the edge of the sign with gold paint pen. The image, For The Birds, was colored with Prismacolor and Gamsol. I printed it twice and popped the paper they were holding. I wrote out BEWARE on those pieces of paper. I added the blue sparkly letters to spell out Bailey's. Those are Thickers. I cut the ROOM out with one of my sizzlits.. Graffiti. The bottom was white and the top black and then I splattered those letters the same as I did the background. I covered the whole thing with a couple of layers of clear glossy Gesso. She loves it, so that makes me happy :)

Tuesday Throwdown Guest Design.

Good morning again! Today is Tuesday and that means another post for my Guest Design spot at Tuesday Throwdown. They are on Challenge #205 today and the theme is Handmade Flowers. I decided to take this opportunity to do another Christmas card! Here is what I created:








For this card I used Xmas Hamster from Wee Stamps. I colored him up with my Copic Markers and I have lost the list of Markers that I used! I hate when I do that!. I decoupaged him a bit. I used several different dies. I used the stamp cut die around the image, the edge on the side. And the edge on the inside. I inked the edge around the hamster. I also cut the different flowers and layered and rolled them. I inked the edges with white and added the gems to the centers. I also added the random dew drops around the image. The Merry Christmas is Paper Smooches.Oh! And I added some of my snow marker to his outfit! Love that stuff :)

For this challenge I used Beach Baby from The Stamping Boutique.I colored her with my Copic markers. I did a bit of decoupage to her. I popped her and the sandcastle. I used chalk on the sky.

Tuesday Throwdown July Week 2 GDT.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I head back to work... Yuck! I have enjoyed the time off! Now it's time to get back to the daily grind. Today is the 2nd week of July at Tuesday Throwdown and time for another challenge. Here is my 2nd card as GDT. I hate this card LOL, but it is me playing with my Cameo to figure it out! This week they are sponsored by Meljen's Designs and the theme is Let's Have A Picnic.

Here is my card:







I used Marching Ant Frame and Watermelon Ant. I wanted to figure out how to cut around a digital image, so I used Watermelon Ant and figured out how to cut it on the Cameo. I pieced the different cardstock together. I added some chalk on the green and pink of the watermelon. I colored the star buttons and the black around the border with my Copic Markers. I popped the three buttons and added twine to them.  The Thanks is a Paper Smooches stamp to finish it off.

Guest Designer at Tuesday Throwdown.

Good morning!  This is my second post today and my second CAS card LOL! This one is a Christmas card!  This is for my Guest Designer spot at Tuesday Throwdown. They are using images from Robyn's Fetish today, so I pulled out my Prissy Poinsettia from Robyn's Fetish and here is what I did with it:







I colored the image with my Copic markers and edged around each petal with my asyouSpica Gold marker. I love that thing so much! I dry embossed the dots on the white, stamped Merry Christmas with my Paper Smooches and I decoupaged the poinsettia. Another Christmas card done! Woot!! :)  And thank you Tuesday Throwdown for having me join you this month!
