Do the Things

 This week at Creative Knockouts or theme is for the boys.

I used Caffeinated Craig from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project. I colored the image with Copic markers and cut out the image with the Silhouette Cameo.  Unfortunately, there was some technical difficulties and my image was cut incorrectly.  One of these days I will learn to cut out the image BEFORE I color it.  I am not even sure what happened.  I think the blade got stuck in the paper somehow.

I feel the sentiment on this card every morning when I get up for work.  I have to have my coffee then do the things. =P  The mesh on this card has been rolling around in my stash for SO LONG!  It is Magic Mesh from Stampin' Up! and I feel like it is so great for a card for a guy.  I only used a little for this so I will have it rolling around in my stash for a little while longer.

Celebrate You

 This month at Crafty Gals Corner, our challenge is For the Girls.

For my project I used Gigi Flap Dancer from MoonFlower Designs.  She was colored with Copic Markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. Her jewelry was colored with gold Wink of Stella to give some great sparkle and shine.  The background paper is foiled, but it is so hard to capture in a picture.

Tic Tac Toe

 This week at Creative Knockouts we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge for you.  Your project must contain items to complete at least one vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line from the table below.

I used the color blue, die cuts/punches, and ribbon or twine (lace works...I think!) and bling - glitter/sparkle/pearls, image, and die cuts/punches.

I used Umbrella Teddy from Bugaboo Stamps for my project.  I colored the sweet teddy with Copic markers and fussy cut the image.  There were so many fun accents on the image that would have been lost if I had used the Silhouette!  The background paper is from the Celebrate Spring collection from Echo Park available digitally at Snap Click Supply.  The raindrop is a petal from a rhinestone flower from the Michaels dollar bin.

Sparkle and Shine

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is make your card sparkle and shine.

I used Lady Sierra from Star Stampz for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I used a product that was new to me from Queen & Co for the gold foiled pieces.  It is called Fun Foil and it only requires adhesive to add the foil to a surface.  No heat, no toner...just adhesive.  Just make sure that you put the correct side on the adhesive...not that I am speaking from experience or anything. =P  I added clear Wink of Stella to her head piece, cape, and dress embellishments.  You can't see it in the picture, but it all has a great glittery sheen.
