Hero Arts Tags Challenge

These two tags were so fun to make, I used all left over bits and pieces :)
My plan was to attach them to our Christmas gifts, but we just booked a last minute trip to Cuba for our Christmas gift and we will be away over Christmas. I'm really excited...I have NEVER done anything like this so last minute, I usually plan our trips MONTHS or years in advance :) Also...we won't be following our tradition of cutting down the Christmas tree, so I am a little sad about that. Maybe I'll take these along and hang them on a palm tree LOL!
Have a great Sunday!

CAARDvarks "Color It" Challenge

After so many "girly" cards last week, I felt like using some darker colours....funny thing is it is still "girly" I guess I am just a "girly" girl!!! Had so much fun playing with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Hero Arts stamps!

To create the background it was a five step process :) I inked white PI paper with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in colour milled lavender, then I stamped it with HA Cling stamp Flourish Background in colour dusty concord. Next I stamped the paper with HA Cling stamp Floating Flowers in colour broken china and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Accents of white dots were added with my white Galaxy Marker.
HA Cling stamp Butterflies were coloured using my Copics and coated with Ranger Glossy Accents.

I don't think I have ever made such a dark card, but I am OK with it :) Just have to find the right person to send it to!

Have a wonderful day!

Lucy's Color Challenge #1.....one more...again :)))

I just could not help myself....I had to make another card (my fourth) using Lucy's Color Challenge #1 colours of kraft, aqua, and pale pink. So girly, well that's what they scream to me :) Photo is a little blurry....I had not had my morning coffee yet :) AND still no sun in my part of the world. It has been days now, good thing I am taking my man made Vit D!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend,

Card for Lucy's Color Challenge #1

Oh how I LOVE this colour challenge!! I think these are Lucy's favorite colours? Over on Donna Mikasa's blog, she has a link to a tutorial about combining your Copics with your Prisma's and Gamsol. I was feeling guilty about not laying one hand on my Prisma's since the Copics have come into my life lol! Thanks to Donna I am now quilt free....
Have a fantastic weekend eveyone!!!

SORRY, but I lied to you............

Last night at 8:00pm I decided I NEEDED to try for the very first time a DIGI hybrid card.....that peer pressure influence happening again :) I guess I really do need my "sista's" or I would never get anything done lol! So I added some glitter so I could submit it to the Hero Arts "glitter" challenge.

Thanks for looking once again,

TRace :)

FINAL glitter card....I swear :)

I just had to make ONE more glitter card!!!!! AND I was wanting all week to enter the challenge over at Moxie Fab World Plum Crazy !!!! So here it is :)

ONE more........for the glitter!!!

Well....I just had to try Lisa Spangler's technique as seen here on the Hero Arts blog, and in this video.

Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful evening! Try to incorporate some sort of activity into your life tomorrow...you will be soooo pleased you did, your heart will be happier!
