Housewarming card with the gift

Aloha~

This is a rather quick card I made, to enclose in the package of Housewarming gift for my godmother. She & her husband moved to the senior living community recently. When they decided the place a year ago, she told me that there was an indoor pool. She was reluctant to move out from a big house to a smaller place but she was a little happy about the pool. 😊So, I decided then, the beach towel with the beach design as her housewarming gift.😊

I recently got this red panda stamp set from Whimsy Stamps. I colored it with Copics. The background swimming pool is a stencil from MFT stamps. I used the light blue Copic to color over silver layered paper, to tone down. Then, just for fun, I drew "little waves" on the panel, with the same light blue Copic.

Have a great week! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. 

Love, Eve 

Finally a Card! ha! :-)

This week, at Casual Friday is "Jest for the Pun of it!"( http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2012/02/cfc41.html) They want us to use a pun, or a sentiment in a silly way to create a joke, on our CAS creation, so I did. :-) I made this card to "someone"(!!) I miss, and inside of the card, it says "Thinking of you LOTS!" :-) I haven't found a great spot to take a good picture yet at my new place. So please bear with me. :-) The recipient doesn't care much about the design of the card but care about the sentiment, esp. Funny ones, so this challenge was perfect! :-)

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope your week has started out Good! :-)

Easter card

I bought this bunny stamp from Hero Arts Last spring, and never had a chance to make a card... til now! I Really wanted to use this stamp for one of this year's easter cards, and I saw the Sketch challenge at Hero Arts blog, so I decided to make a card. There are 4 sketches to choose from and I chose the 2nd from right. The sentiment & two stamped eggs are also from Hero Arts. I colored the bunny with water color pencil and luv the way it turned out; fuzzy looking! :-) I punched the grass in 2 different shades of light/lime green and attached those with dimentional foams. I used Impressabilities on "coor-dination's" "Color Core CS"s (2 different color), and sanded them so that the flowers & swirls would show up in "core colors" of the CSs. To finish it up, I used the different size of pink pearls on the center of those embosses flowers, depending on the size of the flowers. I'm going to mail this to my friend for this easter too. :-) ... I also found out that the Corrosive challenge is holding "Pastel colors" challenge this week, so I'm submitting this card to that challenge too :-)

"Make your own patterned paper with stamps"

at Lawnscaping challenge this week. I've been wanting to use this Smiley Penguin for a very long time, with this sentiment. In fact, I once tried to make a card with this penguin & the sentiment but something happened, and I didn't finish the card. Anyways, I had to make my own patterned paper with stamps, so I did, with these cute Penguins!! The baby penguin also came to HELP! lol :-) There is an airplane on the original sentiment stamp but i didn't ink that part. I really luv this grey copic marker so I used the marker to color the edges of the layering cs , as well as the Flamingo color marker to match the colors of images. I could've Embellished more but I didn't, because I wanted to emphasize more on BACKGROUND Paper which I created with stamping. The sentiment is adhered with dimentional foams. I haven't STAMPED this much on One card for a while, and it was actually lots of FUN! :-)

HM & friends monday challenge 78

Happy 2year Birthday!! They are celebrating on their blog, and this is the special sketch for this week. Also they are having blog hop :-) I rotated the original sketch by 90 degrees. My camera doesn't focus on this card at all with the sunlight for some reason unknown, and i had to use the flash, and that made Happy Hopper whiter than actually is :-( And other images too... :-( I punched out the leaves from the orange strip in the middle, attached on the corner of the main image, with 3D glue dots. Then i DOUBLED the glue dots to adhere the pumpkin button, to give more dimention. ...so, are you feeling "Fall is in the air", like him?? ;-)

EIC #103

This week's challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge is from the Caged Fairy Shop on Etsy. I got inspired by her store more than one. I even wanted to make MORE than TWO, being getting inspired by her things!! Unfortunately i don't have those Trendy OWL stamp... I have seen Alice In Wonderland STAMP collection in online store somewhere but i don't own those either, BUT i thought of Tim Holtz' rabbit stamp when i saw this pendant picture, and i decided to make a card with this pendant in mind, first. yes, i made 2 cards for this week's challenge! :-) When i make cards for "challenges" on blogs, i hardly check what i win, BUT WHEN i get inspired RIGHT AWAY from the themes and pics. , i just make cards! :-) I had hard time, choosing which pic. to pick from this store this week! LOL! I'm uploading 2 pics. for the same card on this post cuz i used perfect pearls, and one card isn't enough to see it on screen... i used perfect pearls on Black background textured paper & around the rabbit on white CS, using the same swirl stamp (Tim Holts also) and same color of perfect pearls; Blue Smoke. I colored the white CS edges with mementos' London fog color. Unfortunately the color isn't that great... the red CS i used, is really a dark Cardinal color red BUT all pics. i took show a bit Orangish color...:-( The ribbon has shimmer in it. I'm not sure when i'll be able to afford a better camera...lol...The Rabbit image was attached using pop up glue dots to give some dimention.

PB swap card to my Online Club friend

I've been wanting to use this image, since this spring! I found a bit distress polkadots lime green paper recently, and since i had similar color gems, flower, & ribbon, i decided to make THIS card. I've been recently enjoying doing some "mosaic" on the back ground layered papers. I distressed a bit around the edge of the main image too.

This week's challenge is Paper Patch. I luv sewing, as well as stamping. Unfortunately i don't have a sewing mashine here, so, i have HAND drawn! lol The PB stamp i used is called "Patchwork Bunny", so perfect! :-) I used Pop dots for a bigger wheel & the bunny, to give a bit of dimention, and used fun flock on it's cotton tail :-)
