The Shopping Queen

I used this new Lorali shopper stamp to make my card for the Queen for the Day challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. This week's queen is Linda aka Hotwheels. I cased a card that she had done with a shopping theme. For my card, I used groovy guava and chocolate chip cardstock and SEI dsp. I used some of the dsp for paper piecing and Copic markers for the rest of my coloring. Added some tiny half pearls here and there and a big chocolate ribbon. The corner and border punches for the frame are by Martha Stewart.

A Daisy for Peggy

I don't what has gotten into me today with all these bright colors. I usually shy away from them except as an accent for other, more subdued colors. This is another card for the Queen for the Day game over at Splitcoaststampers. Today, the queen was one of the sweetest SCSers ever, Peggy AKA MarilynPrestonn, so I just had to play along! The card I cased was very much like the one you see above, except she had used some very soft and pretty pinks and blues. You  can see it here.
For my card I used:
Stamps:  Daisy by Sugar Nellie
Paper:  Tempting Turquoise, Gable Green, Whisper White,Euphoria dsp by Basic Gray
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Accessories, Copic markers, ribbon, glitter, blingy accents, dimensionals

A Fishy Hello

I made this card in honor of last week's Queen For The Day  game on Splitcoaststampers in honor of Mutnik aka Cathy. To play the game, you CASE a card made by the honorary queen and post it in the gallery using the appropriate key words so it can be found in the gallery by all the players. The key word for Mutnik's day was QFTD01, as she was the first SCSer to be honored in this game. I chose to CASE this card of Mutnik's. I used a completely different color scheme and changed the clock theme to a porthole for my Dustin Pike digi fish to peek through. The sentiment is from an old SU! set called Hedgehog Happiness. I will NEVER part with that set.....soooo cute!
Making my porthole was a bit challenging because I left my Coluzzle down at the LSS on my shelf of supplies that I keep there. I had to use another circle cutting tool and it took me a few tries and several sheets of paper to get my layers the way I almost wanted them. The watery layer is a piece of faux handmade paper that I made last summer from one of the technique challenges on Splitcoast. What a  fun technique. I used several colors of acrylic paint and daubed them on using toilet paper. Some of the TP get stuck in the paint and left little "globs" on the card stock. Made a whole bunch of this paper that my stampin' sistahs at the LSS call my "crap" paper. Not the most socially acceptable name, but it sure is appropriate for the technique...LOL!
The last couple of deets are the "nail heads" which were done using black diamond Stickles and the sentiment, which was heat embossed using white craft ink and white detail embossing powder. Image is colored with Copic markers and his eyes were made glossy using a dimensional glaze.
Thanks for stopping in to take a peek at what I've been up to!
