SOS99 - Motorcycle Thank You card

Good morning everyone, and happy Tuesday! This week's challenge at Shopping Our Stash is All About Numbers. That's right, we want you to use numbers on your project. Sounds easy - but I had to dig really deep in my stash to find at least some numbers :) Finally I found some numbers in Echo Park pack called This&That and here is what I created:

Image and sentiment are digis from Doodle Pantry set called Racing Motorcycle. It's colored with Copics and the background with Prisma pencils.
The die cut panel behind the image was an experiment - it was painted with acrylic paint, embossed, distressed and inked with distress ink.

It's super hot here - it's not even 8 am here and I'm already sweating like crazy... so I made a nice summery card too!

Doodle Pantry - WIld Rose

I'm lucky to be one of Doodle Pantry's guest designers for July and here is my first post.
It's a new release day at Doodle Pantry and Laurie came up with another amazing variety of images and sentiments.
I got to play with a digi set called Wild Rose. I combined the rose and hips images into one and also used the sentiment from the same set. The image was colored with Copics and I used my really old retired SU papers.

SOS6 - Scrap Attack

Are your ready for another Shopping Out Stash Challenge? Get your scrap boxes/bins - because our new challenge is called Scrap Attack (I think the title says it all)!
I had this idea of creating a rainbow from strips of paper, but I had too many strips for one card, so I decided to make a set of note cards. I cut approx 1/2 inch strips from various scraps and adhered them into a 1/4 page of white cs (perfect use for CS with those badly stamped images). When I had it full, I used Ornamental die from TH.
I made 2, but I barely made a dent in my scrap box . It was also fun, so I'll probably make some more in different colors. I kept them simple to make the background stand out. Images are from Doodle pantry digi set call Pasque flower.

I'm entering them into the following challenges:
Dutch Dare - clean and simple
Digital Tuesday - Flower Power
Doodle Pantry - Stock the pantry #3 - use Doodle pantry image

Doodle Pantry - Grassy Hills

My Doodle Pantry DT term is ending, so this is my last Doodle Pantry card as a DT member - but not my last Doodle Pantry card - that's for sure - love Laurie's images and it was fun and honor to work with her and other talented and creative ladies on her DT. I used an image from a set called Grassy Hills - it's very calm and peaceful - suitable for a wide variety of occasions. The image is printed on watercolor paper and colored with Tim Holtz distress inks. I kept the card very simple to make the image stand out.

Doodle Pantry - Spring Kitty

Good morning and happy Family Day for all Canadians.
It's snowing again and I really wish the weather started looking like spring. So I made at least a spring card ;) I combined 2 doodle pantry digis - pond from Cattail Pond and cat from Kitty Bouquet. Printed the images on watercolor paper and after heat setting colored them with water based inks. The sketch is from The Sweet Stop, where they also want us to Think Spring ;)
I'm also entering it into The Creative Cottage challenge called Fabulous Florals.

Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge 8 - Sparkle & Bling

It's the 20th and that means a new Doodle Pantry release and also a new challenge - the theme is Sparkle & Bling.

And as you can see I used lots of bling too :)

I'm back today with another Doodle Pantry card - inspired by my DD who was nostalgically remembering our berry picking trips in summer. Did you know Doodle Pantry has a year end sale? Everything is 50% off till Dec 31st - for details click here.
I used an image from Juicy Strawberry set - it's printed on watercolor paper and colored with water based markers and inks. The white dots on strawberries are done with gel pen.
I sponged the sides of the musical notes paper with distress inks to match the colors of the image.

Doodle Pantry - Baby Horse

After all the Christmas cards and projects I made in the past weeks here is something different.
I used one of the new Doodle Pantry images - Baby Horse - it's printed on watercolor paper, heat set and watercolored with SU inks and markers. The card is for my DD's friend who loves horses so I wanted to make the card somewhat girly (but not too much) - that's why I used Stickles on the flowers and added a bit of bling on the sides. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Prima - Fairy Flora.
I'm entering it into The Corrosive Challenge (theme is Bling it on) that's sponsored by Doodle Pantry.

PSC48 - Anything but a square - Treat holder

Good morning and Happy Sunday! Today's challenge on Paper Sundaes is "Anything but a square" - easy peasy, right? And we have a wonderful sponsor for this week too - Meljen's Designs.

Then I decided to try and make this easy little treat/drink pouch holder using the new template from Doodle Pantry - it's free with any purchase. I used the .pdf files and Laurie's instructions and it was really easy to assemble. The I just added a ribbon and couple of punched snowflakes and the pouch was done.

Doodle Pantry - Baking Ants

Good Morning! It's Tuesday and Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge this week! The sketch is really fun and easy and here is my card:
The little squares on the sketch reminded me of a window so I went from there. I used 2 images from Baking Ants set. The images are colored with Prismacolor pencils with a touch of metallic pens. The polka dot paper is from DCWV Christmas Stack. The little flower on the right is keeping the "window"closed.
The image "behind the window":
