Another Sketch from CAS Card Class

Here is another card I created from a sketch from the wonderful Kristina Werner. I'm loving this Clean and Simple Class!

For this clean and simple card I used my Silhouette to cut out the word "Be Mine" from a 4.5 x 1.5(ish)

rectangle. I used the negative rectangle on the card and have the words left over for another project. I cut

a couple of hearts added some stickles and a ribbon, which was white and I colored with Copics.

Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate your comments!

Hugs,

A CAS Card...

Well here is what I created after day one of the Clean and Simple Card Class.



This was one of three sketches provided today. This card is 4.5 x 4.5.

I placed a post it note in the center to mask it off.

I wanted to add a some color to this monocromatic card with the little butterflies.

Thanks for stopping by...Hugs!

A New On-line card class...

The next online card class begins tomorrow!! I'm so looking forward to it. Here is a card I did for the pre-class gallery.

This sweet little butterfly die is from "Memory Box" and I just love it. I borrowed it from a friend and die cut a few cards to play with. I used some fun Basic Grey paper behind the opening.

Hope you all have a fabulous week and if your participating in the card class I look forward to seeing you there!

Hugs,

Karen

Scramble Cards

These are the cards I did for the Hero Art's Flicker Group Scramble...

It was so much fun and it was my first time hosting. 

The challenge was to use patterned paper with your stamping, and we had a great turn out.




The ladies did an amazing job. If you would like to see the fun cards they created you can search the Hero Arts Flicker group with the work "quickcard30"...no spaces.

Thanks for stoppin by!

Hero Arts Challenge

Hero Arts has a new challenge for January....

So I've been playing around a bit with the color challenge. Here are 2 cards I made using the color family.

This is not a color scheme I would typically use and it did prove to be a bit of a challenge but fun!

On this one I added the sentiment at the end and then was sorry I did.

 Oh well I should have known better, LOL.

Remember tomorrow, Saturday Jan 7th I'm hosting the scramble on the Hero Art's Flicker group at 11am.

I hope you will come and play.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs!!!

Please think about joining in on the fun. If you've never joined in on a scramble here's your chance!! and here is a link to the Flicker site http://www.flickr.com/groups/heroarts/

Here is a fun little card I did on New Year's day. I just love this tree, it's an old stamp by Wendy Vecchi.

Here's a close up...I was trying to capture the shimmer of the glitter embossing powder I used.

I hope your New Year is off to a great start and I hope to see you on Saturday over in the Hero Art's Flicker group.

Happy New Year!!!

Well it's here, ready or not 2012 is here! Personally I'm so excited for a New Year. 2011 wasn't a fav for me and I'm ready to embrace the new opportunity's that I'm trusting God to provide in 2012.

Some of my the sweet ladies over on the Hero Art's flicker group are doing a year in review post on their blogs so I thought I would join in on the fun. Here are 12 cards over the past year that I either enjoyed making, tried something new or are just a favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy them.

For this card I tried creating a drop shadow effect on my flowers using Copic.

This was a challenge on the Create Blog using denim. Very fun!

This was a Hero Art's challenge, one that was a real streatch for me.

This was a color challenge and I would have never put these colors together

 on my own, but it became a favorite of mine.

This was one page from the calendar I created for my new Neice.

Who is cuter and sweeter by the day!

This was my first go with my new Distress Stains.

This was a fun card I made for my DD for her first day at CSUN!

My favorite fall card of the year.

This was a sketch challenge and having fun with rossettes and tissue tape.

This was for a PDC challenge.

This was a challenge for a friend's blog.

This was from the summer card class.

I wish you all a Health, Happy, Prosperous 2012! Thanks again for stopping by, I have really missed my blog and all my bloggy friends these past few months. Your always in my thoughts!
Hugs!!!!
