Robyn's fetish Challenge #114- DISTRESSING

Happy Sunday, and Hello July!  boy that went fast huh?

Well, hubs is getting fitted for his Orthotic for his foot and ankle on Tuesday and probably coming home on Wednesday (since it will take 2 weeks to make the orthotic) YIPPEE SKIPPEE!!

This week at

Robyn's Fetish Challenge blog

we are

DISTRESSING

and our LOVELY sponsor is

DELICIOUS DOODLES!

the winner will receive

4 digis of their choice!

I used "In the Harbour"  I LOVE this image, 

(and she has a beautiful new lighthouse to go with it)

I made this card ahead of time and used it as my Husband's father's day card (which he spent in the hospital...like 11 years ago, he had his big heart attack on father's day...I will never tell him to "do what he wants" for father's day ever again, LOL)

OK, first the items used: all card stock is by STAMPIN' UP, Back ground stamp by STAMPIN' UP, Printed paper by K&CO.  Olive striped hemp by ELEMENTS. Distressing Inks by RANGER (Tim Holtz) and FIBER SCRAPS EZ Walnut stain. PRISMACOLOR pencils and blending pencils. 

Buttons from my stash.

I printed out the image and colored it in. Then covered it with the ez walnut stain, allowed it to dry. I stamped *Print pattern on to ivory card stock, with turquoise SU ink. Let dry. then also used the EZ walnut stain on that. Let that dry. Edged the Marigold morning card bash with I believe it was 'twigs" distress ink. Since I can not find my tonic paper distresser, I used a pocket knife, and went around scratching the edges of the print pattern background and my image (oh the sentiment is computer generated). then crumbled them up over and over a few times, then flattened them out. In the mean time I distressed the edge of the chocolate chip card stock. I also tore a piece of the glitter trimmed K&Co. paper.   I  wrapped the hemp around the stamped bkgd. piece 3 times. Glued that onto the base. Then I laid the K&Co. paper down under 2 of the hemp strands and over one, glued down. I took another piece of the hemp and tied a bow around the 3 strands. Then I took a sanding block, and sanded down my image piece. Then attached that to the chocolate chip card stock. then attached that to the card base, and glued on the 2 buttons.

NOTE:  Because the image hangs above the card, I should have written my message inside first, I didn't and to be able to write, I had to fold the card back wards, which weakened it's "hinge"...so learn from my mistake and put your message in first with any  hinge side hang-overs.

Thanks for visiting! comments appreciated :)

Poisoned Peas please--Wicked Step-Mother challenge # 3

Hello all you happy Poisoned Peas!
It is WICKED Step-Mother month at the POISONED PEAS PLEASE Challenge blog

I hope you'll join us in the fun! Our terrific sponsor for the Wicked-Step mother challenge is
Delicious Doodles! Teri has YUMMY Digital images!!
(I am not sure what the prize is, but it will be great)


I used Cloaked Lady

This is a Fat page (4 X 4)

The background paper is Old computer stationary...I knew it would be perfect for this!

I drew in my own bark, and knot holes etc on the tree (which does not look that orange IRL.

On the inside edge of the page I used a woven strap, as the drawing is just part of the tree it drops off, like it should be framed and on a card that would be cool, but for this I had to improvise. on the outside Edge I used German scrap from ARTchix STUDIOS. The sentiment is computer generated. The lady and tree are colored with PRISMACOLOR pencils and blending pencil.

I hope i have inspired the WICKED in you. :)

Queen for a Day

Hi there, Happy Saturday!! I am feeling a bit better today, I've been dealing with a sore throat for almost a week, and my nerves have been way over-active (from neck and low back) so taking my meds  and sleeping a bit LOL!

Today, the throat isn't so bad. We shut the air conditioners off for now, and opened the windows. and the neck shoulders and arms are much better (knock wood) and just my rt knee is being inconsiderate today (again knock wood).  so I guess that makes me QUEEN today!  (YEA,RIGHT)

anyway, here's a little diddy I made last night, I am entering it in Delicious Doodles for a DT call. Everyone please keep a positive thought for me :)

 I have two angles so you can see the embossing on the black card stock.
