It's week 3 in the June <a href="http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Crazy4Challenges</a> challenge month. I was invited to play along this month by my fellow ECD DT member Frances Byrne. It's been fun to participate in the different challenges! This week is based on this card sketch.<br />
<br />

Here is the card I created:<br />

Recently on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog, Judy Kauffman created a<a href="http://ecraftdesignsblog.com/2015/06/stencil-flower-easel-album/" target="_blank"> project</a> where she cut flowers from the negatives from a sheet of glitter dots adhered to shimmer sheetz. I love the look so much I wanted to try it. I had the negatives from a sheet of black and silver glitter dots (<a href="http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/collections/glitter-peel-off-stickers/products/glitter-dots-assorti" target="_blank">7018</a>) and adhered it to white cardstock. I diecut the flowers with Bunch of Flowers 4 (<a href="http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/products/bunch-of-flowers-4-1030" target="_blank">1030</a>) from the dots and some pink pattern paper. The silver Happy Birthday <a href="http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/products/happy-birthday-large-sku-2577" target="_blank">(2577)</a> and black borders (<a href="http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/products/1016-lines" target="_blank">1016</a>) are also from ECD. The sketch worked perfectly to showcase the unique flowers.<br />
<br />
Here is a close-up<br />

Using the negatives doubles the use of the sheet of glitter dots and creates some really fun, unique flowers to liven up any project!</div>

It's week 2 in the <a href="http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Crazy4Challenges</a> June challenge month. My friend Frances Byrne invited me to be a guest designer this month and I am enjoying it so much! Thanks for all the kind words about last weeks card. Unfortunately, I injured a nerve in my leg a few days ago and have not been online much to visit the other blogs but I will soon- can't wait to see all to the amazing creations!<br />
<br />
This weeks theme was in honor of Father's Day - to create a masculine card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The image is from Lili of the Valley- isn't he cute! He is colored with Copic Markers. The card itself was designed by Sharon Fontenot- a friend and amazing card designer. I love the addition of the chain on the lamp. So fun. I'll be giving this card to my Dad so shhh...don't tell :-)<br />

Hi Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been a crazy week for me. I injured a nerve on the side of my leg and consequently my foot is numb and I can hardly walk. It's going to take up to 6 weeks to heal- ugh! As a result I have not been on the computer much. I am feeling a bit better today so I went through some of my files and found this fun card from my card class last month to share with you.</div>

The card features one of the new Elizabeth Craft Designs dies - <a href="http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/ice-cream-cone-1031" target="_blank">Ice Cream Cone</a>. Of course I used Silk Microfine Glitter on the ice cream scoops and cherry for some added glitz. The easel card uses the circle from <a href="http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/collections/dies/products/stand-up-helpers-2-930" target="_blank">Stand Up Helpers 2</a> as a stopper. These dies are designed to use as stoppers and make easel cards so easy to make. The sentiment and papers are from my stash.</div>

I was invited by the wonderfully talented <a href="http://stampowl.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Frances Byrne</a> to participate in this month's <a href="http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Crazy4Challenges</span> </a> group. The first challenge is to celebrate the return of sunshine in our lives and create a card with sunshine, yellow or anything else related to the sun.<br />

The card I created features this adorable little guy heading to the beach - a digi stamp called My Beach Boy from Tiddlyinks. He is colored with Copics. The wave edge is from Karen Burniston's Beach Edges (981) cut on Bazzill Bling cardstock. The sentiments were some old ones from my stash. I added a little clear Wink of Stella for some sparkle. </div>

<br />
Today is the day for the Elizabeth Craft Designs- Design Team Challenge for May. The theme this month was to use one of our new large stone, bricks or circles dies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OBC_4Vmc4E0/VVzHFuK2K0I/AAAAAAAABxY/kfoMupO48_8/s1600/May%2BDT%2B%2B1%2BP1080140.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OBC_4Vmc4E0/VVzHFuK2K0I/AAAAAAAABxY/kfoMupO48_8/s640/May%2BDT%2B%2B1%2BP1080140.JPG" width="496" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bricks were calling to me to make them into the Yellow Brick Road which inspired me to create this card. I diecut the bricks twice from yellow bling cardstock to make it extra long. I wanted the road to get wider as it went so I used some of the bricks from the extra piece to fill in on the sides to make it wider, Worked perfectly! Next I needed the ruby slippers- I used the beautiful shoes/feet from Jackie's Dolls 1 Peel-Offs- glittered and colored with E01 and R39 Copic. I diecut the letters for the word FOLLOW from Alphabet 1- Caps and adhered them to a strip of vellum. The word "your" is cut from an old book- I thought it would be a nice nod to the Wizard of Oz to use real book text. A glittered heart finishes it off. </div>

Being a Texan, the song The Yellow Rose of Texas inspired me to create this card featuring Susan's Gardens Garden Note -Rose 2 die. The sweet rose and bud were perfect to create a tag card with Texas flag colors and 2 yellow roses.<br />

For the card, I diecut the base with Tags & More 7- Vine, embossed the front with Lots of Dots embossing folder and added the pattern paper. Next I diecut the Tags & More 4- Flourish tag to build my roses on. You can see a video explaining how to create these Roses from Susan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF2zwWbtaVY" target="_blank">HERE</a>. A few strips of Glitter Stars Border and some ribbon and the card is complete. </div>

Garden Notes dies are perfect for cards and easy to put together. Give the Rose 2 a try and create your own special card!</div>

Today I am sharing a card with you I created for my card class this month. I've been fascinated by sequins lately and finally got some to play with. This card is inspired by <a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/" target="_blank">Kristina Werner</a> - she plays around with inks and vellum and sequins a lot and I always love the look.<br />

<u>Wartercolor

<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Fold
card base in half. Stamp sentiment on vellum with Versa Mark Ink. Be
sure to use the embossing buddy before stamping. Set aside. Create
the inked background. Dribble each color of Distress ink/mist on the
top of the water color paper, varying the colors. Tilt card upright
and spritz with water to make colors run.<u> </u>Keep
adding colors and drying until the desired look is achieved. Sprinkle
with inks to get droplets. Spritz with both mists for the pearlized
sheen. Add a few lines of blue Wink of Stella. Dry.<span style="line-height: 100%;"> Adhere to card front.
Adhere vellum sentiment strip about 1” from bottom. I used tiny
gluedots that can be covered with sequins. Add sequins to complete.</span></div>

It's the end of the month at that means its time for the ECD Design Team challenge. This month's theme was babies- in honor of the impending arrival of baby girl Van De Burgt ( Congrats Joset and Grandma Els!) Be sure to visit the Elizabeth Craft Designs <a href="http://ecraftdesignsblog.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> to see all the design team creations - you are sure to be inspired!<br />

<br />
I had a lovely time creating this sweet baby card. The image is from Lily of the Valley colored with Copic Markers. I wanted the background paper to resemble a baby blanket- using the Swirly Curves embossing folder created the look of quilting on the pattern paper perfectly! I used the Congratulations Stand Up Helper to frame the colored image. The flowers are cut from Bunch of Flowers 2. I inked the flowers with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and shaped them with the loop tool on the mini molding pad. The leaves are from Curvy Leaves and are also inked. The finishing touch is the beautiful Glitter Border.<br />

I wanted to share a card I created for DistINKtive cards this month featuring Karen Burniston's Bathtub die and Elizabeth Craft Designs' new Leafy Branch and Flourish & Branches dies from the ECD Spring Release.

Hi Friends!<br />
<br />
This week at <a href="http://www.scrappnsavvy.com/" target="_blank">Scrapp'n Savvy</a> we hosted our quarterly Sampler. During this time all the teachers come in talk about upcoming classes and we do a project with the customers. This time we got to make a monogram letter. The teachers were asked to each do one representing some aspect of what we teach. I knew I wanted to showcase flowers some how and thought it would be fun to use the Garden Notes- Bluebonnets from ECD. I went the "Texas" route of course and also used the 3D star from the Karen Burniston's Star Accordion die to incorporate the Lone Star. The letter was stained and then decoupaged with the bandanna paper. The silk flowers were provided. What do you think?Don't those gorgeous Bluebonnets look real?! It was fun to make and will be a great piece of home decor.<br />
<br />

Here is another card we made in class this month. I came across this fun watercolor and ink technique on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. I love how it turned out. Elizabeth Craft Designs large Happy Birthday die was the perfect size to add to the front.<br />

I had a great DistINKtive card class this week at <a href="http://www.scrappnsavvy.com/" target="_blank">Scrapp's Savvy</a>. We made some fun cards! The weather here in Texas has been warming up and I have had the beach on my mind! I've been dying to play with Rocky the Crab and all the fun Beach themed dies from Karen Burniston and finally got the chance for this month's class. Isn't he cute?!<br />

We had a wonderful Copic Card class last month and I finally have a chance to share the cards we did with you. The first image uses the stamp set Gazebo TF( tri-fold) from Art Impressions. The set comes with three stamps that can be used separately or together in a tri fold card. Colored with Copic markers in a relaxed style I like to call Loosy Goosy... more of an impressionist look, not worrying about precise blending and using lots of loose squiggles to layer colors. I love the effect!<br />
