Cosmo Cricket Design Team Tryouts

The focal image is a Karen Lockhart stamp, sentiment is Papertrey Ink Mega Mixed Messages. Background was airbrushed with a very pale blue and the image was colored with copic markers. I thought this Girl Friday patterned paper would make a very sweet baby girl card. That button is from my jar of antique buttons and it just matched that Cosmo Cricket red to a tee:)

The picnic basket is stamped (Papertrey Ink Vintage Picnic stamp set) onto Mr. Campy patterned paper, parts are colored with copic markers. A little zig zag stitching and Tea Dye ink edge distressing just seems to go hand in hand with these vintage like papers.

This sweet little scene just seems to go with these sweet Cosmo Cricket papers. Stamped images and sentiment from Flourishes Swing Set. The tree and girl's dress are paper pieced with some older Cosmo Cricket papers.

Altered wall peg using Early Bird papers, various punches and dies and MS pearls.

The butterfly's trails are from Papertrey Ink's Bird Watching set. Patterned papers are Cosmo Cricket. Buttons and twine are Papertery Ink.

This card's patterned paper is all Cosmo Cricket Early Bird and Girl Friday. No stamping here. Just lots of trimming and some zig zag machine stitching.

This card's border is Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie. This card was a winner in the Moxie Fab Stitched card challenge.

Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop

This inspiration photo is from one of my favorite local shops, Today's Country Store in Sumner, WA. Their little logo phrase is "where everything old is new again" - love that. They have the neatest selction of both old and new things. OK, on to the card. On the damask background paper I stamped a "peeled paint" backgrounder in gray and sanded it to mimick the doors in the picture. If you double click the photo you'll be able to see it. Then I stamped Damask Designs in Pure Poppy ink leaving some spots with less ink to make it look distressed. Bird and semtiment are from Bird Watching, corner detail is Fancy Flourishes. I stitched a branch for the bird to perch on and added hot fix red rhinestones. I added a strip of Papertrey Ink white velvet ribbon down the center of the gingham ribbon.

p.s. I bought those old red chairs in the picture. They are at the powder coaters being transformed:)

Cards I made for the Gallery Idol contest. I just love this Bella Springtini image. I was trying to make these drinks look like adult Lemon Drops {Yum!} Airbrushed the backgrounds and colored with copic markers and glitter pens. Sugared the rims with HA Prisma Glitter.
