WWC332 - Tristan's Challenge: All Things Feminine

Hello and Happy New Year!  My first card of the year is another silhouette from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  I love silhouettes and have several of their stamps as you may remember seeing others I have created.  This one is a particular favorite as I love swans and actually collect swans.  I have brass ones, porcelain ones and even a set of pictures.  Yes, I really do love swans.

If the gold pearls seem odd, it's because there is a wee bit of black ink under the top set.  The ink was not quite dry when I cut the size down and it smeared.  Sigh... so we have gold clusters around the sentiment.

WWC319 - Helen's Challenge: All Things Feminine

So much to do with not much time in which to do it.  That seems to be the story of my life these days.  I'm still going through totes from my move in January.  But, I found time to make this very simple card.  I came across a paper pad that I had forgotten about and really like the pretty blue and pink flowers.  I added a sentiment and a few drip drops and it was done.

WWC311 - Kath's Challenge: All Things Feminine

It's that time of year when you just want to see green and flowers.  Here in Iowa, it is slowly turning to Spring.  While I wait for the real thing, here is flower I colored using my Copic markers.  I've not used them in a very long time and I can sure tell I'm out of practice.  This is one of the images I had already stamped and added to my stash.  I attached it to a Lemon Meringue card base.  For the finishing touch, I added a few Gold Drip Drops.

WWC307 - Heidi's Challenge: Anything Feminine Goes

Given the fact that the vast majority of my craft supplies still reside in totes, I was able to make this simple heart filled card from what supplies I could find.  A few scraps of patterned paper, some sequins and a wee bit of glue and this is what I made.  It could be a Valentine, anniversary or simply a thinking of you card.

Well, the move is complete.  The train ride was wonderful.  Seeing my youngest granddaughter for the first time was a joy.  She is so precious.  Now it's time to get all of those totes unpacked and my house in order. I have a very cute little apartment and am having so much fun furnishing it.

WWC303 - Karen's Challenge: Feminine Anything Goes

Hello and Happy New Year!  My year is starting out on the move.  I'm leaving Reno, Nevada to return to Iowa.  I'm leaving next week so my days are spent packing and my nights falling exhausted into bed.  But, in the mean time, I managed to get my Design Team card done for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Fortunately, I already had this image stamped as everything else is packed.  I decided to do a simple black and white as, you guessed it, my inks, watercolors and colored pencils were already packed, too.  Ah, life on the move.  Isn't it grand!

WWC292 - Dawn's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist

Wednesday has come around again and it's time for a new challenge at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week it's our Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist.

I had a play with a new set of stencils.  It's Taylored Expressions Bokeh Layering Stencil.  All you do is line up each layer of stencil, add your color and you get all these neat little circles.  The sentiment is from the Bubble Greetings stamp set also from Taylored Expressions.  I'm looking forward to using these stencils again.

WWC278 - Michelle's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist

It's time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week Michelle is hosting our Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist challenge.  It was an opportunity for me to play with one of my new silhouette stamps from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  You'll see more of those stamps in the future.

I stamped the image on white cardstock and colored it using my Prismacolor Colored Pencils.  The stamps is Rainy Day and I can see all kinds of seasons using this image.  I mounted the colored image panel on a layer of colored cardstock and for the life of me I don's remember what the color is.  I can't find the name of it anywhere but I like the way the image stands out on it.

WWC265 - Marsha's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist

Hello everyone!  How are you all faring?  Me, I'm doing well but would really like to leave the house.  Due to my age and a couple of health concerns, I have been keeping myself away from all except those who live in the house with me.  I'm so thankful I have all of these wonderful craft supplies to keep me busy.  Stay cautious and stay safe!

The card I'm sharing to day is the one I designed for our February stamp club as it was my turn to do the projects.  We made our own patterned paper using the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set from Stampin' Up!  It's a simple floral design but it reminds me that Spring is here.  Even in these difficult times, beauty can be found all around us as the buds and blossoms of Spring begin to show themselves.

Be sure to check out all the wonderful inspiration from the Watercooler Artists.  Then, take the challenge and share your creation with us.  You can find all of our challenge details by clicking the image below.  You have until Monday, April 6th at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time to link up your project.
