Umbrella friends






 For this more manly challenge I started with a great card stock and a printed umbrella paper in shades of blue and gray then on a darker gray paper I used my embossing machine and did a little man with an umbrella.

Hair challenge. Favorite medium



 For this challenge about hair I had a little bit of a hard time coming up with a digital or some kind of a stamp that even had hair,😜😜😜 then I found this cute little upside down valentine gal,  so I decided to use her. I put brown hair on her but I also did it in various shades using my markers at random. Being a hairdresser by trade , Tends to lead me in the direction of never having your hair one solid color. It's always shades of something to look like it has been kissed by the sun. For this challenge I started on white card stock and I had an embossed piece of orange and so used my markers to coordinate teal and orange to finish this little gals outfit. I put it together and finished it off with several small teal studs. And I probably will give it to one of my little granddaughters for Valentine's Day.  my favorite mediumseems to be my markers.   Are use various brands so don't necessarily have a favorite except that I really do like my Stardust gel pens for highlighting and making things sparkly and fun. πŸ˜‹

New to me technique


For This NEW challenge I tried something NEW TO ME,  that I have never done before. Which is creating a shape or vision with buttons.  It was a little bit of a challenge to find the right size buttons  to make the heart that I want to, to create CAS card. I filled some of the blank spaces with pink and iridescent gemstones.  But it turned out good and I had a fun time looking through old buttons doing it! :-) I did this on card stock and I stamped in black.
