Eureka Stamps Challenge #197 Here Comes the Bride - Wedding Cards

Good morning dear Scrappers,


Eureka Stamps Challenge theme this week is 


Here Comes the Bride - Wedding Cards

For this challenge, I decided to use 55601 Wedding bells digital file and an sketch from te Share the Joy Challenge blog:



I used some CTMH papers and some dazzles from my stash. The circle is a left over from a baptism card I made for my God-son:


I colored the image with watercolor pencils and out-lined using the Staph metallic markers. I colored the bells with white metallic as well.

For the inside, I used the rest of this dazzle sentiment, and I am planing to give this card to a special couple on their wedding day.


I hope you enjoyed this CAS card and decide to join this challenge.

Many Blessings

Vicky

Eureka Stamps Challenge #197 For The Guys - Masculine or Father's Day

Happy Monday!



Eureka Stamps Challenge theme this week is 

For the Guys - Masculine/Father's Day


For this challenge, I used the 32203 Grape Border image for the front of my father's day bookmark and the 32204 I am the Vine for the sentiment on the back:


My hubby is such a bookworm, that when I saw this image and passage, I though they were perfect for him.


I added the sentiment with my own handwriting to dedicate the bookmark for him.


I colored the image outlines with Staph metallic markers, and watercolor pencils for the inside.


I added some metallic details to the letters as well (the J in John didn't photograph as well, though).


I made my own tassel using thick twine for a more masculine touch. I used CTMH B&T for the cardstock.

I hope you enjoy this project and decide to participate in our challenge this week,

Have a wonderful week,

Vicky

Eureka Stamps Challenge #196 Things With Wings

Happy Monday!

Eureka Stamps´ Challenge theme this week is: 

Things With Wings
For this challenge, I used an sketch from Share the Joy Challenge:

and the images: 25801(265) Cowgirl Angel and for the inside  26102 Angels Hover images from Eureka Stamps:

 I used Dakota paper from CTMH and its complements. The sticker with the sentiment on the front is also from this collection. I colored the Angel/cowgirl with TH distress markers.

 For the inside, I colored the Eureka Stamps' sentiment with TH distress markers. And added some leftover strips to the card edges to tie the design together.

I hope you enjoy my card, which I made for a friend, who is moving to another state. Next time, I will the other card I made using this sktech.

Many blessing and good luck in this challenge.

For this challenge I used Miss Kate Cuttables'  Patriotic Hot Air Balloon SVG File and made an scrapbooking layout using the easy to follow template from the Artbooking CTMH cart (which you can get from Connie here).

I left the "Liberty" title from the template because it seemed very fitting.

 I used my favorite patriotic CTMH papers, which I am sorry to say that is discontinued, but I love so much the little white star in the blue background ;-).


 I didn't glue two sides of the frame and just slightly glued a corner to later add the big picture behind this cute frame:


I also made a card for my monthly post at Connie's using a second cut I made from this file:

 I used Miss Kate Cuttables'  Patriotic Hot Air Balloon SVG File, which I also used in my previous project, but this time I made a card and changed the colors a bit. Those SVG files are so easy to work and simple to assemble. No fuss.

 I also used the Artbooking CTMH cart (which you can get from Connie here) negative shapes left over from my Liberty Layout for the inside of the card too. 

many blessings,
