Just For Fun's® Color Challenge #5

Well Hello there, it is Friday again. And you know what that means, Just For Fun's design team has another challenge. Here are the colors we are using this week.
I chose Just For Fun's poppy flower stamp as my red accent and colored the flower with copic markers. I really like how you can blend and take away colors with these markers. I keep asking myself, where were these markers 16 years ago?

Supplies

All stamps are from Just For Fun; small butterfly A3378, poppy E2884, postcard background J2683

accessories: Copic markers R22 R24 R27 for the poppy and Y11 Y17 BG05 for the butterfly, spellbinder dies: lattice, labels nine, scalloped circle small, red ribbon

Mementos tuexdo black ink pad

Grunge Classes -- Photos

Yeah, I finally was able to create a collage of some photos that were taken at the Grunge classes that I have been teaching at Wicked Rubber Stamper in Naples Florida.


The gals were really getting messy as you can see, but they had sooooooo much fun.


However, on the good side of all of this mess, the projects turned out just wonderful.

If you are interested in making these grunge projects give a call to the Wicked Rubber Stamper at 239-263-WKED (9533). There will be a class on April 17 at 1:00.

Just For Fun® Color Challenge #4

Wow, Friday has come and gone, so that makes me very late for my post. Broni has challenged us to use the following colors to create a card.

I wanted to try out the new Just For Fun® faux post stamp. This one is much different from all the others because it does not have corners. I stayed with the same color family for my inks and papers. I think it turned out very nice. I hope you enjoy.

My card this week I choose to color my flowers with Copics BG10, BG13 and BG15 for my touch of color. I used circle punches to layer.

For the card I cut a piece of cream colored card stock 7" x 7" and folded in half. (tip: this will go in a #10 business envelope, at regular postage $.44) . The circle on the card were made by using a "Yoplait" yogart container. The two ends are different sizes and work great to create backgrounds. This was an idea I used in a class I taught showing how to recycle items as stamping tools. Stamp Happy Spring on cream cardstock and layer on black. Now assembly everything together. Enjoy!

Supplies:
Stamps: Just For Fun® Flower A3350, Happy Spring (new no number yet)
Ink Pads: Adirondack Stream, Arhival Jet Black, Memento, Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Circle punches 2" and 1 1/2" , Copic Markers BG10, BG13, BG15, yogart container

Week #2 Color Challenge

Welcome back to the second week of the color challenge. I really enjoy viewing all the wonderful cards the design team made last week. If you missed viewing them make sure you stop by their blogs this week.

My card this week is very simple. My week at work has been exhusting so simple it was. I got out the alcohol inks and glossy paper. The bottom part of the paper I used lettuce and bottle green and the top is stonewash, this gives the vision of a landscape after stamping the tree line H2890. I felt for a quick and easy card it turned out nice. This would make a great masculine card, these always seem to be so hard to think up. Make up a few of these to keep on hand and just add a Happy Birthday, or Get Well Soon, and you got a finished card to send to someone special.

Supplies:

Stamp: Just For Fun Tree Line H2890

Inks: Adirondack Alcohol Inks: lettuce, bottle and stonewash. Archival Ink Jet Black.

So here is my card using Pink, Green and Brown. I started with a brown panel and used white Stazon Ink and stamp the Flourish G3354, set this aside to dry. I next used green polka dotted paper and used my Marvy Giga scalloped circle punch. The flower is D3352 was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I used the Spellbinder die "Nested Flower" medium die and layered this on to the green circle. Next I stamped To Someone Special (I do not have the stock number for this stamp, I will find it and post later) Using the flow of the saying, I cut to the outside of the words and tied a ribbon.

Everything was layered together on a folded pink card.
