Challenge #194 - Sketch

Hi Everyone

Shirley here today with a new challenge for you all.  My challenge for this week is a sweet little
"sketch" that I stumbled across.  I love the simplistic design and thought it would work well for either cards or layouts not to mention so many other projects as well.

I intended on making a card but this layout came together instead :

Now let's see what other gorgeous creations we have this week to inspire you all :

Highlights-Challenge #193 Inks/Markers

Thank you so much to all who played along last week.  Your artwork really blew me away.  It was terribly hard to pick just three highlights from the week, but I finally narrowed it down to these choices.

#7 Pat K- I really loved the innovative way of using inks to dye her cheesecloth to use as an accent as well as the excellent coloring of the Crazy Birds stamp.

#16 MaxiBelle Studios-  I really loved the awesome hair flicking technique on a beautifully colored stamped image.  The masculine card design is fantastic too.

 #29 Scrapping Around the Clock- I love the ink blots on the scrapbook page.  Always adds so much to a layout.

Don't forget to grab your "I was featured" button on the right hand side bar.

 

Thanks again to everyone who played along with my challenge! I can't wait to see what you create next week!

Challenge #193-Markers/Inks

Markers, inks and other colorants are all the rage right now.  With the coloring book craze we are all buying up all kinds of colorants.  This challenge is to use those markers and inks on a project.


Here is a sampling of inspiration from our design team.  It's your turn now.  Let's see what you can come up with using markers and inks.

Renee

For my project, I used both markers to color my image and inks to do a watercolor wash background. This was my first time watercoloring with Distress Inks, and I am quite pleased with the background. 

Majo

I created this ATC with different colours of Distress Ink.

..... and the for some reason I thought my birdie was way too large for an ATC, so I mounted the whole thing onto a card ;)

Julia

Not tons of inks, but inks none the less! I love using stamps on my layouts and this was the perfect challenge to pull out the stamps and the inks the challenge required.

Amanda

It's my little man's 3rd birthday tomorrow so instead of scrapping pages I have been using my scrap supplies to create party decorations. We did a construction theme this year so this is the card I made for him. I stamped the sentiment and used distress inks around the block.

Martha Lucia

I'd never forget you! In my card I used distress Ink to create the background of the shaker and copic markers to coloring the owls. Classic Ink to stamp the sentiment and I can't image my life with our inks...

Tammy

Here is a vintage card set that I created at Nicole Wright's card class at the Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival hosted by Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine

Here are my top 3 in no particular order:

#16 - Mindy Baxter - her beautifully colored fall leaves are amazing!

 

 

#27 - Kathy Schweinfurth - I love the way the fall colors pop off the black background.

 

#8 - Donna - I love this scene that Donna has created - just beautiful!

Challenge #192 - Fall theme

Hello, hello! Lori here today to bring you our challenge for this week.

Fall officially begins this week here in the United States, so my challenge to you is to create a fall themed project. It can be fall colors - think reds, oranges, yellows, gold, and brown - or something to do with leaves, pumpkins, the pumpkin patch, apples, scarecrows... whatever makes you think of fall.

Lori

For my card I chose to go with some fall colors.

Karrie

October Afternoon Apple Cider collection had the perfect cards to match with my
sweet pic of DGS in his warm hoody. 
 Some wood leaves from Creative Embellishments, heart from Elle's Studio, ric-rac and ribbon corners from stash.

Julia

Hi there...The fall theme I chose to work on is back to school shopping. I used lots of stash from my hoard...my collection that is...on my layout!

Amanda

This photo was taken in the fall of 2013 of my husband and son.

Shirley
Being in Australia we don't officially have a "fall" so I used the colours of fall for my easel card, which will be gifted to a very special person.  I think she too will love the colours so thanks Lori for a great challenge this week!  My euphorbia "sticks on fire" plant that I can see from my craft room window helped with the inspiration.

I hope you find some time this week to play along with my fall themed challenge. You have until Saturday, September 26 to link up your project.
