My Final Mission....

Yes... sadly this is my final mission with the Mission To Create blog. The blog is continuing on with only the layout team. But I'm okay with that... that just means I get to play along with the missions and have some time for other fun!

This week's missions include:

Deborah - use a bicycle or other mode of transportation

Jocelyn - sand (distress) your picture

Nicole - use a ticket
Vanessa - Clouds
LG - this sketch:

Here's the card I came up with using all of this week's concepts...

You Make My World...

supplies: patterned papers, My Mind's Eye "Good Day Sunshine"; mini tickets, Maya Road; stamps, myStamp BOX, Hero Arts, Papertrey Ink; ink, Ranger, Stampin' Up!; brad, My Mind's Eye; die cut, Provocraft; other, thread.

Isn't this the cutest little moped? I cut it from the My Mind's Eye paper.

I had some fun with some stamps.... the sentiment is from the Mailbox Greetings from Papertrey Ink, the Hello definition stamp is from Hero Arts.

The Have a Great Trip! decal is from the Passport to Adventure stamp set from myStamp BOX. I also used the Stamp Canceling stamp from the Road Trip stamp set to create the background for my stamp focal area. The stamp image is also from the Road Trip set!

Come on out and join the final challenge for the Mission to Create card team. You can WIN a fabulous kit from our February sponsor... Artful Delight!

It's Sunday... time for a new card challenge over at Mission to Create!

This week our 5 concepts included:

Deborah - use pastel colours

And this is what I did with all 5 concepts this week....

I Chair-ish Your Friendship

supplies: patterned papers, stickers, BasicGrey; cardstock, Bazzill; white trim, friendship definition stamp, Hero Arts; chair & sentiment stamps, Papertrey Ink; inks, Memento, Copic, Ranger; mists, Tattered Angels, Smooch; die cut shape, Spellbinder's; other, pearls, gems, thread.

I chose to use some pastel coloured patterned papers by BasicGrey for this card. I used almost all of the aspects of Nicole's sketch with exception of the bottom panel: I used this to stamp a friendship definition stamp by Hero Arts in this place.

For the misting aspect, I took a piece of the Hero Arts self-adhesive white trims and misted it with both a blue and an orange mist to add colour.

As you can see, I added some dimension to my card using multiple layers of the cute chair stamp from Papertrey ink.

Come and play along this week! We're giving away a prize from Artful Delight. You can check out what the rest of my fellow card team made using this week's concepts HERE.

A "Saturday" on a Sunday

It's Sunday and I'm playing along with the layout ladies over at Mission to Create this week! This week's concepts are:

Deborah - use a day of the week in your title
Jocie - use newspaper

Here's a close up of my pearls on my snowflake die cut shape...

For my title I traced the circle on some scraps of white cardstock and then I stamped each individual letter from my myStamp BOX alphabet stamp set, "Funky Alphabet" along the curve. Once stamped, I cut around the images and then used my Copic airbrush to colour them with an orange and pink Copic. I used my Sakura glaze pen to add a bit of polish to the letters!

If you peak through the circle, you can see I also stamped the date using my "Mini Alpha" stamp set. I used the "20" on the printed page as part of my date: November 20. All the pretty snowflakes are part of the "Let It Snow" stamp set.
