SKETCH CHALLENGE 218? NOT!!!

The one challenge I mostly play along with is the sketch challenge on SCS. So last Wednesday I was inspired by this card to participate. And since I have the same set and had not used it yet, I was definitely inspired. I was also inspired by Gina K's Stamp TV episode on coloring with mineral oils. I have had several prisma colors and have never used them, and since I had also read somewhere that baby oil can be used, I decided to try it. I really liked the result. Unfortunately, I had overdone some things and did not like the end result. So I decided to use watercoloring on 140lb watercolor paper. But again I was not happy. The image was not clear. So I decided to use the prisma colors and baby oil again. It is not perfect, but I'll keep on practicing with these colors.
Now onto the sketch challenge. My image was to large, so I had to make it work differently. I've had the jazz wheel for quite awhile and had not used it. Thought it would work well with this card.

DETAILS:
CS: SU whisper white, bravo burgandy, choc. chip & close to cocoa
Stamps: SU Musical Expressions, Jazz Wheel (retired)
Ink: Versafina - smokey gray, SU- choc. chip
Technique: Prisma colors with Baby oil

Thank you for coming by! Hope you have a great week!!

VANESSA'S SCRIPTURE ROLODEX CARD

My girls are on a roll. This here is Vanessa's scripture rolodex swap card. She is also participating in the Kid Friendly Christian Rolodex Swap on SCS . She chose the verse and the images and I helped her a bit with the cutting and glueing. I was not sure what to use with the verse she chose, but I am very happy with her choice. I think it is perfect!!

Thank you for leaving comments. The girls love reading them!!

MELANIE'S THANK YOU CARD

I have to show off this card that my daughter Melanie made. We celebrated her 10th birthday with some of her friends last week Saturday, and this is one of the Thank You cards she made to give to them.

She did the whole thing on her own!! The swirls and star flourish is copper embossed. This is something she find really COOL! I'm quite proud of her accomplishment!

ROLODEX SCRITPURE SWAP - CARD 2

I have not kept you up to date with the rolodex scripture cards I've been making. Here is another one of them:
I received back 24 cards from the swap and they are all beautiful. I have entered into another 2 swaps to get even more rolodex verses. One of the participants Nicole has also opened a kid friendly rolodex bible verse swap. My girls are participating in it. They loved my cards and want to have their own. I think this is a great way to inspire them with memory verses.
Have a blessed day!!

MY TAKE ON SCS SKETCH CHALLENGE 216

This morning I woke up at 5:00am. I did my best to fall asleep again, but it didn't work. So, since I had checked the sketch challenge before I went to sleep last night, my mind started formulating a card and I decided that I should actually make it in real life. So here it is:

I decided to use the Crafty Secrets Sweet Kids set, and instead of the rectangular layer over the circles, I used the sleeping girl in the hammock to hang from my "clouds". I had fun participating.
Thank you for commenting!! Love reading them!!
See you all soon again!
