Christmas Troll at the Festive Friday's Outlawz Challenge

We have a new challenge  at the Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge! Each week we give you four themes to choose from and you can enter up to three times per week! 

The themes this week are  Card with String, Rhinestones and Pearls, Playful Kittens,  and Christmas.  I chose to do a Christmas theme this week. Each Christmas card I make now frees up a little more time in December!!  And since I used string on my card, I guess it counts for two of the four themes.



My card uses a Bugaboo image called Christmas Troll. First, I found the paper I wanted to use and then colored my image with Copic markers to match the striped paper.  I used some colored string from my stash and a sticker, also from my stash. I finished with some Diamond Stickles around the edge of the sticker.
The finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

I hope you will visit Festive Friday's at the Outlawz and see what my teammates have made!



Bugaboo is always our sponsor for the Festive Friday's Challenge and is giving a great prize of 4 digital images to our lucky June winner! Please visit Bugaboo as they are so generous with their prizes and we simply couldn't have challenges without them!



Hope you will stop by the Festive Friday's Challenge at the Outlawz

Thanks for coming by!  I love having visitors!

June Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz

Hello everyone! 

It's June and we have a new Progressive challenge at the Outlawz  that starts June 1 and runs through June 30th!  Andrea Norris of SheepSkiDesigns has generously donated the image "My Fair Lady" this month for us to use. Thanks, Andrea!

Here is my card. Hope you will stop by the challenge and see what my teammates have made with this gorgeous image!


This was such a fun card to make! First, I used one of the Spellbinders Labels 10 nested dies to cut out my image. Then, I used Copic markers to lightly color. 

I layered a piece of white glitter cardstock onto plain white cardstock base (5 x 7 inches) . Next I cut a card front from my new Anna Griffin Die set and layered it over the white glitter cardstock. Then I layered my colored image on top of that layer.
I used White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops over the gown. I finished off with some tiny pearls and a butterfly sticker. When I photographed my card, the dress looked like a lovely lavender due to the Nuvo glitter drops! It was meant to be white, but I like the lavender!

Outlawz Sketch challenge May 31, 2017

We have s a new Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz





Our sponsor this month is All Dressed Up. The May winner will get to select two digital images from the shop.








Here is our Sketch for this week!




Here is my card! My image is called Happy Birthday -03 by our sponsor, All Dressed Up.




I colored my image with my Copic markers after cutting my image out with my seldom used Scan n Cut! (I am going to try and use it more often) My yellow oval is cut with a stitched oval die from Lawn Fawn. The papers are all from my stash and the pink ribbon is brand new from Stampin' Up! I added a few sequins to add some interest to all the yellow space. I could have easily used a smaller die, but oh, well, once it was done, I just let it be. 


If you have time, drop by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge! It is so easy to join!


Thanks for stopping by!
