Three more Challenge Cards

Hi! Three more challenges I get to show you today!

This first one keeps me laughing. The challenge is the Ways to Use it Challenge on SplitCoastStampers. For this one you were supposed to use stickers and stamps. Well, I knew exactly what stickers I wanted to use. I've had them in my stash for a while now, but I remember buying them. I saw them in the store and just started laughing out loud!!! Not, just once, but every time I looked at them. This is just one of the zebras in the package. Oh my goodness, he still makes me smile :)

Supplies:
Stamp: Hero Arts
Ink: Versafine Onyx black
Paper: Bazzill, Prism
Other: Jolee's stickers, May Arts red satin ribbon

Supplies:
Stamps: Caring Critters - 2RedBananas
Ink: Versafine Onyx black, Chalk ink- Chestnut Roan, French Blue
Paper: October Afternoon
Other: Dew Drops-water, prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits, Inkssentials white pen


This final card is for thee SCS Try a New Technique and the technique is ribbon frames. I love this purple ribbon and I knew that this was the one I wanted to use, so here is the card:

Challenge card to show you :)

Wow, it's been a LONG week! Lots to get done and sometimes feeling like I'm spinning my wheels but not going anywhere. I did, however, get some challenge cards made :)

Wrapped in His Love - Thank You

Hi! I thought I was going to have two cards to show you today, but so far just one.

I made this one for the SCS Sketch Challenge. What I love about this card is that I used stamps from the "Wrapped in His Love" set that aren't even the main stamp. This is such a wonderful set!
All three stamps that I used are from that set. I used old paper from SEI and my nesties, my paper piercer, a pink Souffle pen and the MS Butterfly punch with some pearl gems. That's all! And I used the back and front of the same piece of dp too :)

This post is going to be short so I can get back to work on being creative :)

Challenges

Wow, today was a great day despite being interupted to do important things, I got 2 challenge cards finished!!! I haven't been doing many challenge cards for the past week or so, so I was itching to get back into it! We are going to start hosting our own challenges on the 2RedBananas blog so be sure to look for more information there :)



This cards was made for the Technique Challenge on SCS. I used an envelope for part of it, very cool. I also got to use 2 of the newly released stamp sets. Both from Jami Bova, Wrapped in His Love and Caring Critters. I thought they worked really well together. I also used prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits, celery Shimmerz, pop-dots, a glaze pen, ribbon, a crimper, and a Quickutz diamond die.



It was really fun to make, and I can see myself making more in the future. I think this one will get sent out in the mail tomorrow :)



This second card was made for House Mouse Challenge 27. The challenge is to incorporate chipboard onto your card, so this is what I came up with. I have a tendency to forget about chipboard so this was a fun challenge for me. I used 2 House Mouse stamps, Sweet Dreams and Smell the Flowers. The papers I used are from Bazzill Basics and Webster's Pages - purple majesty. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits (surprise, surprise :) and then painted the lilac with lilac Shimmerz. I used grosgrain ribbon, and hero arts flowers, and then because I didn't put any dew drops on the last card, I used 6 of them on this one :) Some from the Grapes and Leaves collection and some from the Fresh Mowed Grass collection.







This is a fun challenge that they post every Monday and you have until the following Sunday I think to get your card posted. Sometimes they have a prize sometimes they don't. But you should check it out if you love House Mouse and Friends stamps.
