Hogs and Kisses Christmas Tag

This week we end our sponsor showcase over at The Outlawz, Twisted Thursday. This week, the optional twist is Anything Goes. I selected Imagine That this week and the fun little Hogs and Kisses image. Who couldn't love getting a Christmas tag with a tree full of pigs?

I used my Chameleon colored pencils over Kraft that was printed with a light gray tag under the image which was in white. The sentiment is from a set that came with a magazine from Practical Publishing quite some time ago. A Christmas ribbon and lots of fun Nuvo Crystal Drops finished off this tag.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed this fun month full of such variety with so many sponsors that we are truly grateful for.

As always, if you have the time to leave a comment, I really enjoy reading them!

Spinner Card

Fun spinner card that I created myself. Here are three pictures showing some of the different things that will show up in the circle:

Had to rip this apart more than once, LOL! The stamps are from Waffle Flower, Cookie Time, as is the sentiment. Some Nuvo drops were added for some extra fun.

I created this for the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenges #20, Interactive Cards!

Three Funny Elves on Kraft

This month we are having a sponsor showcase over at The Outlawz, Twisted Thursday. This week, the optional twist is to use Kraft. Three Funny Elves is the image I selected to use from MMedel Illustrations

I used my Chameleon colored pencils over Kraft that was printed with a light gray tag under the image which was in white. Interesting how this turned out. I added some clear Nuvo Crystal drops over the jingle bells on the elves' hats and a real one (brad) on the top of the tag.  A bit of ribbon with a Merry Christmas sentiment and a simple green bow at the top finished the tag.

Please do visit our sponsors to let them know how much we appreciate their support.

I used my Chameleon colored pencils over Kraft that was printed with a light gray tag under the image which was in white. The sentiment is from Waffle Flower Books & Coffee.

Kitty from LeAnn's World 101

New to me Facebook group called LeAnn's World 101 generously offered this adorable free image, Kitty, for us to use. Coloring with pencils on brown, tan, or Kraft paper has been a current favorite of mine. Not to worry though; pencils will not replace my Copics as number one choice :)

I used the Chameleon Color Tones colored pencils, layered with Mat Stacks, added gold star brads, and popped up the XO sentiment from Paper Smooches on the word bubble die also from Paper Smooches.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope to read a comment from you!

Supersized Birthday Wishes

Our sponsor for August over at Twisted Thursday, is Your Next Stamp. This week's optional twist is Layers & Dimension.

This image and sentiment comes from a set called Happy Meal. The background was stamped with embossing ink and then Distress Oxide Inks were blended over the top of the soda bottles and layered over brown textured paper, then layered over the card base. The hamburger and fries were colored with Chameleon Color Tones pencils. The box and burger have some Wink of Stella, and both, as well as the sentiment, are popped with a layer of foam for added dimension. The inside says, Birthday Wishes.

Bendy Card

Well, I watched a video from Jen Evers and just HAD to try a bendy card. I wish I knew how to video myself working because everyone would just have a chuckle at my expense watching my many attempts. I love fancy folds, but often find them challenging. Do look at the video. It really is clear I'm sure for most people!

Open Card

The smaller hot air balloons, clouds, and sentiment are from Stampin Up.
The smaller balloons were colored with Distress Inks. The larger was cut from patterned paper from my stash.

A Top View

This image came from Steampunk for Colorists by Hot Off the Press. I used my new Chameleon Color Tones Pencils. I love them!

Thank you for stopping by. I always enjoy reading your comments!

Stampendous Butterfly with Chameleon Pencils

I just got my new Chameleon Color Tones Pencils. I LOVE them. The colors are so nice and creamy and blend together beautifully. I grabbed the large butterfly from Stampendous and heat embossed it with Ranger silver embossing powder and then colored.

I popped it up over a piece of embossed and blended with Oxide Inks paper, added some Paper Smooches Silhouette flowers (double die cut to make shadows, a ribbon, and some fancy gems. Finally, I added a layer of Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy reading your comments and appreciate the time you take to do so.
