Design Team call with a little Basic Grey to mix it up!

Here they are.... the sketches for the 2 sketches 4 you design team call.

This is what I came up... my first card I used my Folk Inspired set by Unity Stamp Company. I also used my Lemonade Basic Grey paper for all but the stamped image which is stamped on white and colored with my copics. I then took one of my inchies and stamped that and colored that and adhered it with pop ups. I also cut out the whole clock and glued it the patterned paper from Basic Grey. I used some of my copic spica glitter pens and other gel pens to give it a little more bling. I am also entering this little card into the Basic Grey challenge. They are having a color challenge. Use Red, Blue and Green.

Can you see the sparkly pens I used for the detail? What do you think?

Here is my other card. I really wanted to use fabric on my cards so I decided to use it on my elephant. I used my Papertrey Ink Bitty Baby stamp set. My background is Worn Dots from Unity. I am really lovin' this set lately. My paper is all SU along with my ribbon, brad and punch used. The twine was thin but I twisted it 3 times to make is thicker. I am really happy with how this card turned out. I plan on making a set of thank you cards with the elephant as part of a gift for my cousin-in-laws who are having a baby. You always need thank you cards when your first baby arrives right? I'm sure they will love them which makes it that much more fun to make.

Here is a close up of the elephant. The ear is fabric that looks like news print.

And of course a close up of the Happy New Baby, also from the Bitty Baby set.

Well there you have it. My 2 cards that I submitted to the DT call. I hope you like them.

Happy Wednesday ALL!

Rock on with me.... Unity Style!

Happy Friday!!! Friends with flair here we are!!! For the first time ever I am participating in Unity's Friends with Flair! I was also able to incorporate Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite color challenge and The Pink Elephant's weekly challenge which just happened to be a sketch. Make sure to check it out! . Better than that I was able to use my UNITY OCTOBER KIT OF THE MONTH!!!!



Here are the copics I used to color my card Rock On Card


I also used PI's paper (the green, pink and brown) while the kraft and vanilla are SU. The awesome stamps are UNITY of course. These are from the October KOM. I used my fiskars punch for the fancy edge and used the SU build a brads and bright delight rub-ons. I also used two of Unity's background stamps, the distressed dots and worn grid.



This card just makes me want to sing. I added the 1,2,3 because it made me think of a band warming up... 1... 2... 1,2,.3... ROCK ON!

This adorable card show cases the KOM stamps!!! Don't you just love them. The clouds are from the July Kit and this adorable plane and banner are from this months kit. I used some of the paper left over with the distressed dots wove in some string stamped the images on Basic Grey paper and there you have it.




Make sure to check out Unity's Fall Garage Sale which is happening ALL weekend!! Deals that you just can't pass up!

Have a ROCKIN' Friday and Happy hopping!

Happy Fall Y'All!

Copics, pumpkins and coloring... what a wonderful thing. I really love coloring with my copics and when I came across this GREAT copic challenge at Copic Creations. I couldn't wait to get started. I didn't realize that I had a pumpkin stamp until after I bought this digital stamp.

The copics I used are seen in this photo.



Here is my finished product. I used the Basic Grey challenge for the sketch. I also kept The Pink Elephant challenge in mind as it is all about FALL!!!



I used my Stampin Up paper for my solids and my Basic Grey for my designer paper, stampin up vellum, my copics as you can see above. The Happy Thanksgiving stamp is from SU too! I used a stamp set from PTI to put the poke a dots on my two small pieces of ribbon.

This sketch from the Basic Grey challenge was a tough one for me. I am really happy with my end product. I hope it can send some inspiration your way.
