Color Throwdown Challlenge #434 - Simply Amazing

Color Throwdown Challenge #434

Come join in the latest Color Throwdown Challenge #434.

I used these colors by playing with some brand new goodies from SugarPea Designs. 

I sponged my background using the new Distress Oxide Peeled Paint and using the SugarCut - Sunburst Cover Plate like a stencil.  Then I stamped, colored and cut out my strong man using Stay Strong and SugarCut - Stay Strong.  Then I embellished and popped in my gold with gold and clear sequins. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Stay Strong (SugarPea Designs) Paper: Recollections White 110# (Michaels)  Ink: Hybrid Black Licorice (My Favorite Things),  Versafine Onyx Black, Copics: N10, N7, N4, W3, W1, YG21, YG23, YG25 Accessories: Cuttlebug, SugarCut - Stay Strong (SugarPea Designs), Clear sequins (Pretty Pink Posh), Gold Flat Sequins (A Jillian Vance Design), Tim Holtz Mini Ink Blending Tool

Birthday Blog Hop For Amy

We are going on a virtual destination birthday blog hop in her honor.   I am taking Amy to Canon Beach Oregon for sun, surf, sand, salt water taffy and clam chowder!

Fun that today we get to spoil HER with love and gratitude on her birthday. This hop is for you sweet Amy - thank you for all you do as a friend and inspirational crafter in the card making community. 

After my blog head to Friday Harbor by hopping to Kimberly's Blog.

 With my destination in mind, I made a fun card with this adorable crabby 

using the set Flippin' Fabulous from Your Next Stamp.  I also used Slippery Slopes and Stitched Clouds Die set from A Jillian Vance Design for my sand panel.

Sprinkles On My Donut

New Goodies!

Is this not the sweetest image?!

I just had to have it, Say Yes To The Donuts by Neat & Tangled and this beautiful paper pack Hello Gorgeous by My Minds Eye from my sweet and talented friend Annette Allen's new online store, Drive By Crafts. 

 I wanted to use this sentiment and draw attention to the sprinkles on the donut.
So I used my 0.1 black Staedtler pen to make larger sprinkles expanding on the ones already on the donut.

I used Copics
Donut = E31, E33, E35, C3, 0
Frosting = RV21 ,RV23, RV25, C3, 0
Sprinkles = BG00, BG01, B04, C3, 0, YR02, YR04, YR07, YG21, YG23, YG25, YR23, Y17, Y21

Shabby Chic Birdbrain

Birdbrain Birthday

I went a different route making this card than usual.  

As I made it for the challenge below, I went with the no line coloring technique. So I printed out my image in a light grey than colored with Copics.  I distressed the paper edges for the ShabbyChic twist. 

I used this awesome digi Birthday Candle Birdbrain by From The Heart Stamps.

And I used a sentiment from the Happy Birthday set by A Jillian Vance Design.

Casing Therese

Birthday Case

I was inspired by THIS card of my talented friend Therese Calvird.

*Edit this adorable digi is currently a freebie at Gerda Steiner Designs Mouse With Balloon. 

Gerda Steiner Designs is currently having a Guest Designer Call.
Deets HERE. 

My sentiment is computer generated. 

I Printed out my image with sentiment and cut it to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.  I then adhered my designer paper with removeable tape onto copy paper and fed it into the printer to only print the "Birthday". Then I cut it to size vertically.  I cut a tiny strip of Ranger Foil tape and adhered above the dp and burnished with my bone folder. I then adhered my card front onto my heavier card base and finished off with flat sequins to keep it mail friendly.
