CPS Sketch # 188 - In Style Stamps

Hello!  I have a CPS Sketch project to share with you today!  This week's sponsor is In Style Stamps.

Glamour Girl

Isn't this girl just gorgeous?  I would love to go shopping with this darling gal!  I thought I'd add a bit of retro flair to this sweet girl.  Her top is paper-pieced and I used the colors of the Togetherness patterned paper to color the rest of the image.  I colored her glasses and to add a bit of shine with Glossy Accents. 

I'd love it if you stopped by the CPS blog for more designer inspiration and details on this week's sketch.

Thanks for visiting,
lise

JiFFy Challenge!

Hello!!!  I'm SO glad to be joining the JiFFy (Just For Fun) challenge this month.  If you've not seen the usual crew's projects each month, I'll fill you in.  These lovely ladies (and I mean SUPER talented ladies) get together and make a project using the same basic supplies.  No one knows what the combination of paper and stamps are going to be until it arrives in each other's mailbox.  It's always a ton of fun to see what everyone creates!
Ms. Carole sent the paper this month - Noodle Soup by Jillibean Soup.  Crossing paths in the mail from Ms. Julie were the darling images from the So Thankful stamp set by Hero Arts.

So, here's my creation...

Thankful

Aren't these pilgrims just darling?  I colored each carefully with Copics.  Liquid pearls replaced the little boy's buttons on his shirt.  I also colored the turkey, adding a bit of sparkle to the tail feathers, and carefully trimmed with precision scissors.  While I love to stitch on paper, I decided to add faux-stitching instead.  I'd say it's because I wanted to do it that way... but to be honest, I was afraid I'd mess up the patterned paper...   There's confidence for you!  Hah!

(Sorry for the quality of this picture... I just couldn't get the balance right in editing...) My little turkey is popped up on the front panel with dimensional tape.  He's too cute to be dinner, isn't he?

And while I don't always finish the inside of my cards, I really wanted to do something to make this card special.  I added a few bits of the patterned paper and my sentiment, off-center, to complete the card.
I'd love it if you'd visit all my friends to see what crafty goodness they've created:

CPS Sketch # 187 - Flourishes, LLC

Hello!  It's time for a CPS sketch project again.  This week's sketch is sponsored by Flourishes, LLC.  Here's my take on the sketch...

Waterlily

I stamped the lily directly on the central circle panel and lightly colored with pink.  I used a sponge to ink over the lily with Broken China Distress ink to give the illusion of water.  Stamping the lily again on a piece of cardstock, I colored in detail with Copic markers and carefully trimmed out with precision scissors.  I also stamped one of the lily pads, colored with Copics and trimmed from cardstock.  I adhered it over the center waterlily to peak out of the bottom.  This trimmed waterlily was popped up with dimensional tape over the central image.

Tip: To give added dimension, gently bend the tips of the flower upward from the surface of the card.

For more inspiration on this week's sketch, be sure to visit the CPS blog!

And here's my take on the sketch...

Blooming Beauty

I love using Flower Soft!  Ultra Fine Raspberry and Sweet Pea were used for my flowers.  Filling in the blanks, I used Ultra Fine Sage.   It adds a wonderful dimension to my project.

CPS Sketch # 184 - In Style Stamps

Hello!  I had a lot of fun with this week's CPS Sketch.  The sponsor for the weeek is In Style Stamps.

Hello Baby

I had so much fun coloring this sweet girl.  Isn't she darling?  I used more October Afternoon paper for this card... in fact, the background panel just reminds me of a quilt, which reminds me of being cozy and babies... it's a twisted logic how I landed there, but it worked for me.  Hah!

I colored and trimmed a wide border around my little mama.  She's the center of my flower matte, which mimics Tami's awesome sketch this week...
