PAM Challenge for The Outlawz 8-31-2013

Here is my card for The Anything Goes Challenge for the Paper ala Mode challenge at The Outlawz!
I used a Gina K Designs stamp set called Better with Age, that was recently released.  I used GKD Black Ink to stamp, and colored with Copic markers.  I popped my images up on black CS, and I used a great purple CS as my base. I added a few buttons for visual interest!  This card would be a good one, for a guy or a gal, and a fabulous additional to a gift of wine!

Thanks for visiting today!

“100 Days of Tombow” You have got to see this!

I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer for Tombow's 100 Days!  I used their wonderful Irojten Color Pencils, Volume 4, pale tones   I also used their fabulous "Retro" Dual Brush Pens , which were terrific markers to use! I painted me rubber stamps with these markers, and then huffed a warm breath on them, before I stamped.  Did you know you could do that?   My card samples were also put together using Tombow's convenient Stamp Runner Adhesive, from The Craft Collection, which make for a very easy way to attach all my panels to my card base.

                                                                                       

To make the BG of this second card, I scribbled the Dual Brush Pens on a acrylic block and then spritzed it with a little spray of water, before I stamped it on my white cardstock. I colored the leaves on the tree with Tombow's Colored Pencils, and attached all the pieces with their Stamp Runner.  This card was easy to put together, after I added some twine, for additional interest.
I am so glad you joined us to see these creations!

Paper Ala Mode Challenge-Join in the fun

The challenge was to make a birthday card, but this was last week's challenge. Sheesh, I goofed!
 I have made two, for you today! Please check their new challenge Up Up and AWAY!

                                                                      

I used all supplies from the new StampTV kit this month.  It has gorgeous papers and I used the new GKD inks, as well.  The pumpkin, on the first card was colored with Copics.  The sunflower on my second card, was sitting on my desk and just had to be used, don't you think? It was white CS, that I just dipped onto the Distress ink pads that would match, the Fall colors.

Join the Outlawz challenge this week, and make a birthday creation!

Isn't this a fun looking set?   You will use it a lot, since the sentiments are perfect.  But there are many that you have in your stash that can also be used!  I colored the fish with my markers, and quickly sponged with distress inks.  I added some ribbon and those adorable "air bubbles".  Simple to make too!

CSS Hop-- It is a Color Challenge one!

  You came from  Linda 's blog and now you can see what I made ---two cards for this hop.  The first one uses yellow, white, light grey, and green.  The second one yellow, white, grey and pretty Rose pink.
All stamps used are from Gina K Designs.  This first card was stamped with a flower from the Becky Oehlers Bold Blossoms set, on a chicken wire BG that I cut out with the Cameo machine.  I used Copic greens, for my color besides a light grey.  I trimmed the card with green and white gingham paper from GKD.
For my second card, I used the scalloped oval, and Gina K Designs CS, for the BG pieces.  I stamped the flower, from the GKD Petals and Wings stamp kit.  I colored with Copics and shaded with Memento Gray ink

Be sure to leave comments on all our projects today, because there will be a prize given away!  Now head over to see what JOY's got for you to see. Haven't you been blown away to see all this goodness?
