Christmas Scrapling

I wanted to make another scrapling for my friend Dana's first blog challenge and I had some pretty Christmas patterned paper lying on my desk, so this is what I came up with.

Paper: cardstock (PTI); patterned paper (MME - "12 Days of Christmas); Neenah
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Copic Markers; HA Soft Pool Shadow ink; Broken China DI
Stamps: Penny Black (Mimi's Christmas; Circular Design)
Other: Stickles; Star (Michelle); Dimensional Squares

Isn't she sweet sitting on a cloud!  Love that glittery star which I received as a surprise gift from my Flickr friend Michelle from New York! (Thank You).  I stamped the cloud with the PB Circular Design instead of leaving it plain.

Just a simple little scrapling!  Thank you Dana for hosting this challenge.  If anyone wants to join in you still have a few days, and you can find Dana on her blog at Reliving Tomorrow!  Go and visit, she is super talented!

Have a wonderful day!

Scrapling Challenge

Danna, a Hero Art Flickr buddy, is having her first challenge on her blog, Reliving Tomorrow, and it's all about scraplings!  These are mini works of art often made from cut offs from a stamdard card.  I think it's always great to support people you know, and Dana is such a lovely lady, so I made an autumn kind of scrappling which I may enter into this month's Hero Arts contest too.

Paper: cardstock (PTI)
Ink: Memento; Copics; Brushed Corduroy DI
Stamps: Hero Arts (CL 182)
Other: Ribbon (HA); Gems (HA); EK scalloped border punch

I love it when I can use up those little bits of cardstock lying around my desk! I intentionally stamped the tree off the page and then coloured it with Copic markers.  I inked the edges with some brushed corduroy just to soften them a bit.

Thanks Dana for the fun challenge, I may come back with another!

Thank you to my new followers, it's so great to see new people interested in your work. Wishing you all a fabulous day!

Hero Arts 90 Minute Scraplings Scramble

Sue over at the Hero Arts Flickr group hosted a fun 90 minute challenge today!  We had to make 2 scraplings, one had to have a sentiment on it and the other had to have purple or yellow incorporated into it!

I have never made scraplings before but I definitely had fun.  They are made from cut off pieces of notecards, typically 4 1/4 inches tall and anything from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches wide.  Here is what I made:

Paper: HA Notecard; PTI Cardstock; Neenah; Paterned Paper (My Mind's Eye, We R Memory Keepers)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Copic Markers; Broken China, Peeled Paint & Antique Linen DI; CTMH Creme Brulee dye ink
Stamps: Hero Arts (S5506, S5316); PTI Tiny Tags
Other: EK Success Tag Die; MFT Rolled Flower Die; Stickles; Glossy Accents; Lavender Tule; Pearl (stash)

For the one on the left I used a purple HA notecard cut off measuring 4 1/4 by 2 inches.  I stamped the Silhouette Grass using Creme Brulee ink and added a bit of Antique Linen DI on the edges.  I stamped the dragonfly with Antique Linen as well.  I tied a small piece of lavender tule around the stamped piece and added a small rolled flower over the knot.

For the one on the right, I used some PTI cardstock to make the card base measuring 4 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches. I stamped only one side of the Flower Text stamp twice.  Then I coloured the one using copics and paper pieced it back onto the original.  I added some glossy accents to the flower centre and some of the leaves, and also some orange stickles to parts of the petals.  The sentiment was stamped on a small tag which was adhered partially on and off the card. That stamped layer was then matted with patterned paper from We R Memory Keepers.

That's a lot of stuff going on for two pieces of paper that don't even make up one whole card!  Wow!  But what fun!  Thank you Sue for making me try something new today!
