OSAAT #100 Anything Goes

Hello to all of my crafty bloggy Blends!  

It is with great pleasure and honor that I get to announce the new challenge
over at One Stitch At A Time. 

This is my first time creating as a DT member with OSAAT and I am super excited to join the team.  

This week's challenge is ANYTHING GOES.    OSAAT has some wonderful prize sponsors and extraordinary DT inspiration (if I must say so myself).  

Head on over to the OSAAT Challenge blog and get in on the fun.

But before you go...peek at this.

For this challenge, I was offered the opportunity to play 

with the Scent of a Woman image by Stitchy herself.

You can find all of the images you see on the DT cards at Stitchy Bear Stamps.

The base card stock (orange) is by Recollections.  The DPs are from a K&Company boxed stack I purchased a long time ago.  The lace ribbon was a wonderful thrifty find at my local Goodwill.  Thanks go out to Nataliya at Love Crafts Forever, my sister DT at OSAAT and a dear sweet Blend.  The butterflies and swirl were a gift from her!  The flowers were created using my Flower Shop cartridge and the swirl began as plain white.  I inked it up with an orange Studio G ink pad then sprayed it with Liquid Pearls.  I colored the image using the 3 wonderful Copics I received from another dear sweet Blend, Ellen at CardMonkey.  Thanks Ellen.  The sentiment is by Stephanie at Whimsical Designs and I must shout Thank You to her as well.  I won all 4 sets of her fabulous stamps and have been using them on all sorts of projects.  Please feel free to head over to visit these fine young ladies to see why they are such dear sweet Blends (Bloggers+Friends).  You may make a friendly connection along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Facebook Pay It Forward Status Challenge

For the Blends Join Hands Blog Hop *WINNERS* . . . click HERE

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

A short while ago, a friend updated her FB status with this message . . . 

"Pay it forward 2012. . . I promise to make a homemade card for the first five people who comment.  In turn you MUST re-post this to your status.  The rules are you have to make it by hand and deliver within 2012"

I thought to myself that this would be fun.  I guess I wasn't the only one.  Before too long, I already had my five responses.  Well, I do like to keep my word, after all, that is what we are known by mostly, right???  So, tonight I created my 5 cards.  

I decided to use the image you see here because all 5 of my friends that will be receiving the cards are from Ohio, California, Illinois and Canada.  They are all special people in my life, and I am thankful to call them my friends.  I decided to pair the image with the sentiment you see at the bottom.  Both stamps are from the Unity December 2011 Kit of the Month - {...filled with love}.  

This is the first time I got to use this image and I was dying to make a card with it.  I just love the versatility it has.  You can change the colors of the buildings, add some glossy accents here and there, make it a day or night scene, and so much more.  

I used the sketch for the current January Unity KOM Sketch Challenge.  

 The base card stock is from Recollections.  The image and sentiment were printed on white card stock using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and colored with my Whisper Strokes Dual Tip Watercolor Markers (Vintage and Pastel). 

The background masks were cut from Lacy Labels using paper I received from my dear Blend, Cindy at cre8ivecindy.  I inked the edges of the dp with the same TH Distress Ink.

I will enter this card into the following challenges . . .
One Stitch at a Time - #97 Round and Round 
***I am ecstatic to be a new DT member at OSAAT***
I would love it if you could stop by and check out the challenges every week!!!!
