Dance Like no one is watching

Back in May I won a stamp from a blog hop for Some Odd Girl.  And I fell in love!!  My first stamp was Dancin Mae and she is still my favorite.   I found them on Facebook and "liked" their page.  Now I am seeing some sneak peaks of the new line coming out July 11th.  Next week is the reveal!!  I just have so much fun coloring these stamps up.  And for all you digi-lovers there are lots of them!!  Kristy has only recently brought some out in clear stamps.  The challenges run for 2 weeks and this weeks challenge is Bright and Blinding.  No pastels.  I love coloring with bright colors.  I decided that I wanted to combine this challenge with the challenge over at iCopic and use my airbrush.  So fun!!!  I stamped Mae on a scrap paper and cut it out to mask the image and then airbrushed.

Guess what?  These papers are from Echo Park!  Love them.  Not my usual MME!!  I also used my RV-25 and air brushed my sentiment.  I used BG-13,11, and 10 for the background.  Did you notice my new Grand Nestie?  I chose the scalloped squares for this card.  I added a couple of nestie butterflies as well.

I have to say that the BG is so much brighter IRL, I love how the airbrushing looks. The image is popped up and the butterflies sit on top so they are popped as well.

The inside of the card is pretty simple, but I wanted to add this little metal charm and thought it looked good inside. 

And of course the copics I used for this card are as follows.

If you ever want to know the exact copic colors of the Ciao's I would be glad to let you know, just leave me a note.  As always, I enjoy your visits and your comments.  Wish I could put a pot of coffee on and sit a spell with you and chat or color!!  Thanks for stopping by.

I am going to add this to the fun with shapes and more challenge.

Flutter By Wednesday's is butterfly's, angels, or fairy's.

Tuesday Color Challenge at the Outlawz

Not only is it Tuesday again, but already the last Tuesday in June. Unbelievable how time flies the older I get. Part of that I suspect is the fact that every Monday I wish for Friday!  LOL, I wish my life away one week at a time!!   Anyways, it is time for another color challenge at the Outlawz.  Our color challenge this week is brought to us by Jenn.   red,white & yellow June Jolt: add fabric( felt, fabric flowers, burlap, etc.) 

And the inspiration photo.

You know our pastor has been talking about using your "gifts" and I have been wanting to start using this gift and making cards that I can donate to the Church that can be given out when a card is needed.  I think I told you how when I had surgery 5 women brought us meals.  It was an amazing ministry.  And where it is hard for me to make meals because I work so much I thought this was something I could do.  That being said, I went looking for Scripture or encouraging stamps and this is the one I found.  So this is a start to my stash!  

What a fabulous verse is that?  I know I will use this stamp a lot.  I also used Tim Holtz bird and cut it out with Kraft paper.  The buttons are a sizzix die cut as well.  I just used a little red twine in the center.  And the felt is cut out with my nestie and is stitched around the edges, though it is hard to see in the picture.  I also stitched the edges with my sewing machine. 

Now, I want you to take some time to check out the main page on the Outlawz.  Do you see that Oozak is sponsoring us again with a $50 gift card.  I want to win that!!  But I can't so I want you to!!  I get all my Copics from there!   All you need to do is head on over and play in at least one challenge!!
Now, do you like to create with Digi's?  We have some fabulous artists at the Outlawz that have started a Freebies page.   You should check out the talent of Anne and Sandi.  They are so talented!  

Now I just want to remind you that the Color Challenge this month is being sponsored by Delicious Doodles.  They have some amazing digital images to choose from.
