WWC218 - Marsha's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Today's Watercooler Wednesday Challenge is "All About Occasions."  I'm for host for this week and I invite you all to share a new card  you've created for a special occasion.

The leaf frame was actually used as a stencil but I liked it so well that I finished sponging color on it and used it to frame this pretty bird.  Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink turns out to be much brighter than I remembered but I do love the way it helps that little bird stand out on his branch.

As you can see, there is no sentiment attached.  I couldn't decide on one so I'll wait until the occasion arises before adding one to the card.  I have several made up that don't have a sentiment just for that reason.  That way, if I'm needing one and don't have time to make a new one, I can always pick one that's already to use.

Stamp Set:  Birds of a Feather (Altenew)

Inks:  Vanilla Cream, Hazelnut, Almond Butter (Altenew); Distress Oxide Salty Ocean (Tim Holtz)

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Early Espresso (Stampin' Up!)

Patterned Paper:  Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper (Stampin' Up!)

Dies:  Birds of a Feather Die, Leaf Frame Cover Die (Altenew)

Other:  Crystal Clear Droplets (Ellen Hutson)

WWC217 - Michelle's Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge

It's time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week Michelle is hosting our Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.  Even with so many men in my life, making masculine cards can be a challenge.  This one just happens to be a shaker card.  I used the Geared Up Garage stamp set along with the Garage Gears Dies to make this fun card.  As you can see, I used some of the dies to do a bit of embossing.  It nice to have your dies serve another purpose other than just cutting out images.

Stamp Set:  Geared Up Garage (Stampin' Up!)

Inks:  Soft Suede (Stampin' Up!)

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!)

Dies:  Garage Gears Dies (Stampin' Up!)

Other:  Window Sheet, Sequins

WWC216 - Dawn's "All About Occasions" Challenge

It's Wednesday again and that means it's time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week Dawn is hosting our "All About Occasions" challenge.  So, what occasion do you have coming up that you celebrate?  We'd love to have you share with us.

Recently, my son called to let me know that I am going to be a grandmother for the tenth time.  He and his wife are expecting their fourth child sometime this fall.  So, I'm already celebrating and made this cute card using the Animal Outing stamp set.  I colored the giraffe with colored pencils rather than ink.

Inks:  Firefly, Grass Field, Shadow Creek, Jet Black (Altenew)

Cardstock:  Soft Sea Foam, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!)
