NBUS #8 - Week One: Pencils on Kraft

Hello, Peeps!  Long time no see, but it isn't because I wasn't thinking or visiting as I could  :o)

Well I'm just under the deadline for Week One but I wanted to participate with Darnell's NBUS Challenge, so here it goes!  I stamped with an NBUS set, then bravely (well there was/is a bit of fear) colored with my NBUS PrismaColors!  Here she be...

Well, so obviously my coloring with PrismaColors needs practice but I like it!  I stamped, colored and blended with gamsol, then added some hand-drawn grass to ground everything.  This card will be sent to a friend who had an unfortunate fall in our snow/freezing rain-filled month and broke his neck.  I hope it brings a smile...

Thanks for stopping by!  I'm so happy you saved me a quick minute of your day, and hope to see you again.  Thank you!  Truly!

Hugs,

Comfy Pajamas

Well THIS is a sentiment I can totally relate to!  I LOVE to be comfy in my jammies!  So, totally inspired by the sentiment, I created this card.

A masculine card, generally harder for me to create, this one came pretty easy.  I started with the "quilted" impressed blue background to go along with the jammies, layered up on kraft with a pop of white for a good contrast.  The denim-look quilt called for denim blue ink for the sentiment.  Here's a close-up:

Hmmm... all this quilting and now my jammies are calling!  (those of you who know me can totally get this!)  Thanks for stopping by and spending a minute or two of your weekend!  Blessings and warm wishes to all of you wonderful bloggie friends and visitors!

New Home

Wow! It feels like I've been gone forever.  And while I've made a couple of cards, I've been struggling and thrown many attempts away.  So finally, here I am with a card....

Congratulations on your new home!  For the life of me, I couldn't get this particular card to look the way I saw it in my head.  I couldn't get it grounded the way I wanted, the colors just weren't what I wanted, on and on.  That said, here it is...

An ink blended background, a bit of splattering, a couple dies for the homes and trees, and a free-handed "snowy hill" spritzed with Shimmer Mist.  I took a close-up to show the shimmer, but alas it doesn't show as well as I'd hoped...

Well, we've had A LOT of snow, quite a bit more than usual and A LOT of cold (now in the teens to single digits) and gray skies.  While I really enjoy the snow (and yes I've shoveled a few times), I could really do without the gray!  Gray skies make it hard to be joyous, make it hard to photograph pictures, and generally unwanted in my book.  I do hope that all of you are fairing well though, staying warm, and enjoying your days!  And THANK YOU for popping in!

Hugs,

TK

 

Peace

OK I'm changing gears here a bit, changing things up just in case anyone was tired of cutesy!  I went with one of my inka smooshed panels, a panel of foiled cs and a pretty die word.

And another view to show a bit more of the shimmer of the Inka... 

I think I'm finally getting through most of my cards.  I actually had a few others but I knew my camera battery was low but pushed through photographing them, only to find out that although the camera didn't shut off -- it also didn't save all the photos!  Bummer!  By the time I learned of the situation, the cards were sealed and some mailed....  so.... you'll have to trust that I made more.  Oh well, live and learn, right?

Merry Christmas

Here's a couple more versions of the elves, eagerly awaiting the unwrapping of presents but digging into his stocking.  These were mailed and hopefully reached their destinations, so I hope I'm safe to post.

These are some more of those adorable MFT images!  I'm just so thrilled with so many of their images, they're just so fun!!!  These were colored with Copics, winked with a bit of Stella and set on a floor of older pp.  You get the idea I'm going with cutesy this year?  I think so, I think I've been totally mesmerized by adorableness!  Hope no one has gotten tired of it...
