Sketch Time at Repeat Impressions.

This week Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has challenged the Design Team to this sketch:

And this is my card:

I used one of the new images from Wendy's new series called Parings.  I used one of the cupcake images and the cherries.  My grandson loves cherries and we always ask for a baby cup of them from Sonic.  He thinks he is so special!(and I agree, tee,hee)

Now it's your turn to show us how you would use this image.  Remember you can turn it in any direction -- we would love to see what you would do.  Just make your card, link it on Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built.  She will choose a random name to receive some stamps from Repeat Impressions.

Here is the list of Design Team members who will inspire you and get you started:

Repeat Impressions Designers Choice Challenge

Today Janice, one of the Rock Star Designers from Repeat Impressions has challenged us to make a project that has fur, fin or feathers -- sounds like fun, doesn't it?  Repeat Impressions has so many stamps that would be right on target for that challenge!  Here is mine:

The background paper was created with a technique that used watercolors (like a child's inexpensive set) then while it is wet, you sprinkle table salt on it -- really took on dramatic effects!  The darker the color the better - This one I used a turquoise paint and when I added the salt, it looked like water - that's why I chose this image called "Under the Sea", colored it with some copics, added some little rhinestones, cut it out with a spellbinders die and back that onto a piece of black cardstock.

Here is the list of Rock Stars who made projects to inspire you.  Take a look, leave a comment, then make a card and link it on Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built and perhaps you will be the random name that will receive a nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Stamp TV May Color Challenge

This month Carolina from Stamp TV has challenged us with a Color Challenge provided by Miejse.  The colors she wants us to use are a non-Christmas red and green card with a neutral color Black, White or Tan.

If you have come from Kay's blog, you are right on track.  Her card was gorgeous!  The beginning of the hop starts here at Stamp TV.

This is my card:

 For this card I used Stamp It Big, made some more washi tape from GKD Designer Papers called Hello Sunshine, Sun Kissed Autumn, Wisteria Lane, and a few unknown scraps.  Then I stamped the sentiment Friends onto Gina K Designs Pure Luxury White layering cardstock and backed this onto Black Onyx which I layered onto GKD heavy duty cardstock.

For this card, I used the stamp set called Poster Board Sentiments and the DP is from Merry Little Christmas, Cranberry Tart cardstock and  I used GKD Dark Sage Ink and Dark Sage cardstock - this is a gorgeous color!

Now hop on to Geri's blog and she will certainly wow you with her copic coloring.

Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, May 28.

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Stamp of the Week called Kisa 2

Today, you are in for a special treat!  Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions  has made available to you this gorgeous stamp called Kisa 2 and it is 50% off for this week only.  Just go to her blog, The House That Stamps Built and get the special Stamp of the Week code and enter that at the Repeat Impressions check out.

Here is the card I made.

I love kitties  and I have one that is kinda weird, but I love her.  Her name is Purdy and was an abandoned kitten.  It took her a long time to get used to me and be a friendly kitten to pet, but she still reacts kinda crazy with loud noises.

I used a cuttlebug folder and some scrap paper and colored it with copics and did a little shading.  The I (heart) cats is also one of Wendy's stamps from Repeat Impressions. (it is not on the sale)

A few of the Rock Stars have also made cards to inspire you.  Here is the list

Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week - Bench

Good morning!  I recently took an online card class and the emphasis was on masculine cards - which I have so very few of and needed some ideas.  So I'm taking this opportunity to use some Repeat Impressions Stamps to use some techniques we learned.  So this week the Stamp of the Week is called Bench from the Gardening category.  Here is my Masculine card.

Repeat Impressions Sketch Time Challenge!

Today Wendy owner of Repeat Impressions challenged us with this sketch:

I love working with her sketches - they are always challenging and get me going on making a card or scrapbook layout.  So here is my card:

I really enjoy this Raggedy Ann and Andy stamp.    It is easy to color and so cute!  I ended up using some scraps of paper in my huge scrap pile -- and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Quartet Compliments Series.  Raggedy Ann and Andy are pop dotted on the spellbinders die cuts.

Here is the list of Rock Star Designers who made projects.  We are hoping they inspire you to join in the challenge and take a chance at being that randomly drawn name that wins a nice gift certificate.
