Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges: Challenge #13
Party Time is the challenge + dragonfly is the challenge for the Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges blog. What goes better with a dragonfly but a toad and a toad in a tutu dancing in the rain and puddles? My quirky sense of humor was the inspiration for my card today. After diecutting the background, I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Stampendous Tutu Toad stamp, added my Gina K Designs dragonflies from Dreams Take Flight stamp set and stamping the sentiment, also GKD, Blooming with Blessings stamp set.
Now I just need to figure out which friend will appreciate my quirkiness!!
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
For this anything goes Christmas challenge and the mood board posted for inspiration, found this little die cut bird. After diecutting cutting him off the branch I decided upon a SimonSaysStamp Forest Border embossing folder for my background and a landing place for the bird. The panel was embossed on navy cardstock, swiped with white pigment ink, edges ink blended with Black Soot Distress ink and a little white splatter. The snow hills are also SSS and sentiment is from Artful Inkables Peaceful Wishes stamp set.

I spent time coloring a CAS card with a Power Poppy stamp set.
I used the Potted Primroses stamp set. It is no longer available as a clear set but you can purchase images as a digital stamp. I used Gina K Designs Amalgum ink for my stamping. I have a mini pad and it took about 3 times in the Misti to get a solid black impression, so I am not sure I really like this ink. However, I didn’t know how I wanted to color the image, so I chose this ink. I decided to use my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The lavender paper is from Stampin Up and is retired. I added score lines to give it something extra.
This will entered in the Power Poppy Clean Slate Challenge: http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-blossom-challenge-clean-slate.html
Thanks for spending time with me today.
And the challenge is: Anything Goes with a Twist Dots with the required embossing folder. For my card which will be shared in the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge, I created a frame from Spellbinder’s Hemstitch Rectangles which was popped up on the card base. The patterned paper sky was inserted in place and stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts’ August 2017 My Monthly Hero kit. The balloons were cut from a piece of water colored background on my desk using Pinpoint Balloons dies, adding some floss and a Taylored Expressions red bow to complete this card.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is a CASE of Johanna’s Dancing Hearts card you can see here https://lavenderhousecreations.ca/2023/01/15/dancing-heart./
After I started it I thought it would be fun to make the center hearts appear to be floating so I added a piece of clear acetate behind the center cut heart. All hearts are from the Silhouette with Star Dust Stickles added to the center ones. Red panel is embossed with Cuttlebug Cross My Heart ef, ribbon is from my stash. Front panel is popped up with Foam Adhesive Strips by SU.
I’m entering this in JUGS anything with a heart and CYHTP anything goes with a twist of dots.
Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I’m trying to rebuild my stash. While cruising the internet today, I came across the current Color Throwdown Challenge CTD#725 to use red, green and brown. The flower is Bold Bloom Mini by Gina K Designs, colored with Copics: R22, 24, 27, 29 and G03, 09, 14. The mat is Dark Chocolate. The Hand Written Hello sentiment by Simon Says Stamp was also cut from Dark Chocolate. I added Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle. This sentiment has a shadow die, but I opted not to use it. I had another idea for a sentiment but I decided Hello would better cover an oopsie. The card base is Kraft.
I found a few challenges that I thought would be fun to create for.
For this card I used Paper Smooches Rosy Posy set. Paper Smooches has been closed for well over a year, but I have never inked this set and colored it. The greeting is from Simon Says Stamp You Shine. This set was part of a card kit, which I did not purchase. I did purchase the patterned paper used in the kit and recently the stamp set went on sale, so I took the plunge and purchased it. It worked well for the greeting.
One challenge is CAS Colours & Sketches: http://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.com/2023/01/challenge-501-colors.html
I used watercolor with the colors for this challenge. After the image was dry, I tried adding texture with the small end of the Cherry Cobbler marker. I liked the effect.
The second challenge is The Sisterhood of Crafters: Something New: https://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/2023/01/something-new.html
Since both images were never inked before, they are considered new to me.
The third challenge is Cardz 4 Galz: http://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/2023/01/190-cas-clean-and-simple.html
I left a lot of white space, so this is definitely a clean and simple card.
It was fun using these colors, finding items in my stash, and creating a card. I am not sure who will receive this card, but hopefully soon I will find the person to send it to.
My card today will be entered into two challenges. The first challenge is AAA Cards Challenge #231 Clean & Simple Challenge and their Moodboard “All the Bears”.
And the second challenge is a new to me challenge Cardz 4 Galz Clean and Simple Challenge.
Two clean and simple challenges and one with a theme of bears. I searched through my stash of stamps and decided on an unknown wood mounted bear in overalls for my image. The sentiment is Taylored Expressions from last year’s StampJoy. Added a hint of blue ink under Mr. Bluejeans Bear to help ground him a bit. Looks like lots of open space and only one layer to finish off this card for these CAS challenges.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
