Noah's Ark by Rick St Dennis

Hi, I am back to share my card for this months

Crafty Awesomeness challenge at the Crafting circle. 

This month our sponsor is Rick St Dennis you can see all his images HERE at his on-line shop. 

Here is my card.

This is one of the images we got to work with.

Noah's Ark.

I have to say is not one of my finest.  I am not too happy with how it turned

out, maybe I will try to color is again using Copics, this one was done

with my Polychromo pencils.  

If I do color another one I will come back here and post it.

Well, you have until the end of the month to join in the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

I Heard through the Grapevine...................

Hi, it's that time again, time for the new monthly challenge over

at the Crafty Awesomeness Challenge.

This month our sponsor is Rick St. Dennis who is an artist

that has a wide variety of digital images, some even on

the dark side.

Here is the card I made using "Bushel of Grapes".

I colored it using Stampin Up watercolor crayons.  I used a GinaMarie inside/outside square die.  The paper is from a paper House pad called,
at the Vineyard.   The sentiment is from SugarPea Designs.  I stamped the top to close to the edge so with some great input from Ms Crafting Circle I cut out a
a little bit bigger "I" and glued it up there.

Well that is it, thanks for stopping by to take a peak.

Challenges entered:

Hiding in my Craftroom - Freestyle - ends 5/6

Who's on First......

Hi ya, hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Since we are in the middle of baseball season and hubby

and I love watching baseball I picked this

Rick St Dennis image Baseball Boy to color.

I colored him using my Inktense pencils and a little

Copics here and there.  I pop dotted him onto the baseball

Cuttlebug folder that I embossed on kraft paper

and then colored in some of the images.  Luckily had the baseball

paper in my stash.  

For the saying, I went with the old Abbott & Costello comedy 

routine from the 1930s.   

I used Design  Space and my Cricut Explore to write the

saying and then cut the label.

This little guy reminded me of the old time baseball players

so that's the first thing that came to mind.

I was lucky enough to get to color up one of his images from his

Zibbet store and

showcase it here on my blog.

SO here is my schoolboy card.

Isn't he cute!  Gotta love those teeth.

I colored him using my Copic markers.  I used my deckle edge 

Spellbinder to cut around him, then I  stamped a saying using one of my Rubbernecker stamps.  I thought this would be the perfect card to 

give a teach at the end of a school year.

I didn't have any "school" type papers so I went to my go to on-line 

digital paper place.  Tac-tile Studio formerly Sassy Design.   

She had the perfect school themed pack.  

This is the set I used.  Educated Pack.

I had set up this cut file a while back in Cricut Design Space so

I just used the pattern fill feature to fill the pieces with the pattern

paper then print and cut them.  Easy peasy!

I used My Little Paper World corner dies for the black

star corner.

So let me know what you think of my card and be sure and stop
