Simply Scrapping Crafts Design Team!

 Hello! Remember me? LOL..I have been MIA for most of the last two weeks.  This is going to be a super week for several announcements all week long!  I have been asked to join the Simply Scrapping Crafts Design Team! Wow, that is a mouthful, how about SSC DT!! SSC is the place you want to be if you love learning, challenges, a whole page  of groups outside of SCC. I will be doing the copic challenges! Right up my alley wouldn't you say! Before vacation I was chosen to be a guest designer on Elisabeth Bell Design team for September and October! We will be getting the new digi today and I just can't wait to see it! And, on Wednesday I will have another announcement. Things are looking up!

My card business is starting to pick up pretty good considering it is only by word of mouth at this point! Good days lately!

I made two cards today and  you are going to see red for quite a bit for the next week! I had specific orders on my cards and what can a girl do!

Challenges:
  1. Flutter-by-Wednesday:  Open and there is suppose to be a BIG announcement on Wednesday! 
  2. Alys Sunday Challenge: use pink (I have a pink rose!)
  3. Cowgirls Sunday Challenge: Flowers and embellishments
  4. The Crafty Pad: Pearls (Wedding Card)
  5. One Stitch At a Time:  Girly or color scheme (Wedding, Ivory and red)
  6. The Paper Players: Anything goes
  7. Be Crafty: anything goes
  8. Cinema Saturday: Anything goes 
  9. Crafty Emma's Store: Anything goes
  10. Lexie's Creations: Embossing
  11. Mark's Finest Paper: Friend card ...Red flower card
  12. Our Daily Bread: Embossing
  13. Alphabet Challenge: R for roses! 
  14. Fairy Fun Friday : Pearls and lace...wedding card
  15. Stamping For The Weekend: Anything goes
First Card I do not know where I got the digi from. So sorry and if you know and inform I will list the designer.

Supplies:
  • Cryogen
  • Copics
    • Red: R39, R37, R35, R32
    • Green: G94,YG23, YG24, YG21, YG03.YG01
    • Ribbon: E-bay
  • Friskar Sunburst Punch

Supplies:
  • Karen Doodles Digi: Here comes the bride!
  • White roses colored with copic and alcohol. See Tip of the Day
  • Cream Color Gown: E53, E51, E50
  • Red top: R39, R37, R35,  R32
  • Market Stewart leaf punch
  • Friskar Sunburst Border Punch

Inside

Tip of the day:   Coloring lace, ribbon, flowers. You can use Colorless blender solution or 91-95% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, which is a LOT cheaper. Pour some alcohol into its lid or very small container. Lay down the copic color you want onto an acrylic block. You do this by pressing the tip of the pen onto the block with gentle pressure. Take a regular small paintbrush and dip it into the alcohol...the more alcohol on the brush the lighter the color. If you want a vibrant color, wipe the brush one time onto a paper towel. Next, take the brush and mix it with your color on the acrylic block and brush onto flower, lace etc. You will see that you use very tiny bit of marker. You can make it as dark or as light as you want by how much alcohol solution you have on the brush. Here is a white rose and white lace I did with R29 in a super hurry to show you!
I hope you enjoyed  looking as much as I have enjoyed creating!! Thank you! It's a good week!
