Hey Chick!


For today's Splitcoast Featured Stamper Lyn Tomlin I was inspired by one of her cards that had various critters all over the front with a simple sentiment in black. I used the Stampin' Up! Hey, Chick set from the current SAB mini catalog, colored in alcohol ink markers. Love these crazy hens and chicks :)

Hey, Coffee Chick

This is what my hairdo looked like this morning :)
For the mixed media challenge of Feeling Peeky I used the Stampin' Up chick colored in markers on watercolor paper. For the coffee drips I used a splatter stencil with ColorBox chestnut ink. Used a Tim Holtz stencil on top of this and embossed with Versamark and clear powder. Used Stampin' Up! circles stencil and gold texture paste for other corner and all around edges. Card front was sprayed with Tattered Angels glimmer mists in Pearl and Coffee Shop. Bottom corner was a piece of gold shimmer paper that was embossed with the SU brick wall folder.

Coloring Book


Coloring books for adults have been all the rage for a while and I have picked up quite a few of them. This butterfly was challenging to color, the lines are pretty close together so you can't use too wide of a marker tip. I accidentally made a big crease while adhering to the card stock since the pages are pretty thin. To save it I used the SU butterflies embossing folder and I love how it turned out. I spent WAY too long coloring this so I was happy I could make it work.

Truckin'



Some more Tasty Trucks rolling in today. The first uses up some pieces of designer patterned paper I had lying around and I added some white dots to the colored in truck to copy the background.
The second is basically a case from the mini catalog, made it square and layered it on Hello Honey and More Mustard and added some baker's twine. Some nice easy coloring therapy :)

Mobile Bakery


All supplies used were Stampin' Up!.
I had an extra truck colored from today's color challenge so I made this card. For the awning I used two pinks (Pixie and Pretty In Pink) and the word window punch on an Island Indigo base embossed with the large polka dots embossing folder, SU Sizzix.  Colored the image with markers and embellished with some Indigo baker's twine.

Tasty Trucks


So happy to finally have a chance to use this adorable Saleabration stamp set Tasty Trucks. Whenever I see it I think of the Food Network show The Great Food Truck Race with Tyler Florence. I colored mine in Pool Party, Perfect Plum, and Island Indigo. This is a business envelope sized card made of Pool Party card stock that I stamped in coordinating ink using the retired Itty Bitty Background, a set that I will keep forever! Finished with some Island Indigo baker's twine.
