She's All That for WOW Embossing Powders

Hello, WOW fans! Today, I have a cute birthday card for you that I made for the WOW Embossing Powder Blog. It can be used for either a male or female birthday, which in my book, is always a good thing. The image I used is called "All That" by Kenny K and she can be purchased in Kenny's online store. The WOW Embossing Powders  I used were Cable Car Red from the Suzy West By The Bay Collection and Earthtone Blueberry from the Suzy West Pantry Collection. I also created the sentiment with a stamp from WOW's stamp set called "Everyday Sentiments". All of these items are available for purchase through many local scrapbooking stores as well as online. Amazon has them for a great price right now.

You can see the Cable Car Red powder around the outer edges of the yellow patterned paper as well as on the checked pattern on the banner. I used the Blueberry powder on the sentiment and outlined it with white gel pen to make it look hand painted (sort of graffiti-like) and also to make it show up better.

I didn't know if I would love the primary color palette but after I put it all together, I really did like it. Most of you who follow me know that I do love bright colors but I normally steer clear of the primaries with very few exceptions. I may have to rethink that approach now! LOL 

 

I haven't finished the inside of it yet as I was up against a deadline that I didn't want to miss.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes (with optional sketch)

Crafting When We Can - #39 Earth, Air, Fire & Water (the colors in my card represent fire- those colors present in flames)

I hope you enjoyed my little WOW project and that you'll stop by the WOW Blog and leave a comment if you have a few minutes. Thanks for visiting me today. I'll be back soon with another new project. Until then...

Happy crafting!

Challenge Time at Saturated Canary

Hi, all you Saturated Canary fans! You're here just in time because today starts a new challenge on the SC Challenge blog! The theme this time is "All the B's" so you need to incorporate at least two items into your design that begin with the letter "B".  On my card, which features Krista's lovely Sisters Back 2 School digi, I used books, bling, blossoms, blue and blackboard.  I was going to include some buttons but I ran out of room! Go figure! LOL

This image, which I colored with Copics, reminds me of my sister and me when we were kids.  She was 6 years my junior and was always into my "stuff", flirted with my boyfriends and got me into trouble with our parents for getting mad about it! LOL Even the hair colors match! We didn't like each other very much (though we always loved each other as siblings) until we became adults. I lost her to breast cancer 2 years ago and I miss her so very much still.

I just love this image and even though I realize I'm a little late with the back to school theme, I just felt compelled to make this card.  I really like how it turned out.  Sadly, this will be my last challenge with Krista's team as my time as guest designer draws to an end.  I am really going to miss it but I'll be entering the challenges just as I did before I was invited to join the team for the summer.  I hope that I have, in some way, inspired you to join the fun at Saturated Canary Challenge Blog.  And don't forget to use your B's! Now, while you're all enamored with Krista's awesome artwork, why don't you mosey on over to the challenge blog and see what the other designers have created.  I have seen their projects and they are fabulous!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Blog Quick Quotes Friday Challenge #19 - Cards

Thank you sooo much for dropping in on me today.  I always appreciate your feedback and will try to answer any questions you may have if you'll put them in a comment for me.  Be kind to each other and have a great weekend! Until next time...

Happy crafting!
