Any Hero Card for the OWH Midweek Throwdown!

I went back to the OWH Sketch archive and used #8 for my card. The stamp was a $1 find at Michael's. Thanks for stopping at my blog!

OWH Sketch #66

I used the new Sunday (4-24) Sketch #66 at www.owhstarsandstamps.org. I've been wanting to use my new owl punch from Stampin' Up.
Card ingredients:
Papers: DCWV The Linen Closet stack
Flowers: BoHo Flower punch (SU)
Owl: SU
Branch, sentiment and speech bubble: My Favorite Things set called "Thinking of Hoo?"
White gel pen; dark brown Marvy Leplume marker

I wanted flowers but didn't want them to be too girly, so the card could possibly be for either sex. So I punched and layered my own "flowers" with the Boho Punch. The flower to the right of the sentiment is there because the metal point fell off my Marvy LePlume marker and left a nice ink mark! So I added a flower to cover. Hopefully it doesn't look too random!
Thanks for visiting!

Hambo Hoedown 12: King [aka Partyer-in-Chief!]

I colored the King with my first new Copics marker and Marvy LePlume Markers, as well as gold gel pen. I made the banner text in Word and pieced it onto the banner. I added Glossy Accents to the crown and royal shoes. I found a neat little Recollections pad of foil paper at Michael's and used the Cuttlebug Fleur de Lis embossing folder. Need to run upstairs and get the name of the background paper!
Hope you like this! Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine card /Father's Day

We had a challenge to make masculine or unisex cards over at OWH today. I used Paula's cool vintage truck digi, my new silver gel pen, that cool Cuttlebug folder and EK border punch. Colored with Marvy LePlume marker and silver gel.

Monochromatic cards: OWH Midweek Throwdown challenge

The first card combines the monochromatic challenge and stickers. The second is made with Yolanda's cool digi of a Ford Fairlane. I'm not sure they were ever manufactured in that shade of blue (lol) but I was trying to coordinate with my paper. I made the sentiment in Word.
Thanks for stopping by!

Circus Juggler: OWH Sketch 65

Since our OWH Blog Skip I'm still in the mood for playing with stickers! I used this week's OWH sketch (#65) again and since there's a challenge to OWH'ers to post 65 cards, I'll post this one, too. I hope you can see my card OK; I'm having issues with my camera and lighting tonight!
These Circus stickers are the first stickers I bought after I started with OWH last June! I bought them at The Paper Source. I don't know if they're still available. The DP is from "Camden" by 7Gypsies. I've had that ribbon in my stash and I honestly wasn't sure I liked it or if it would ever go with anything but it does! Ya never know!
Thanks for stopping by. I love company!

Amorous Ogre: Hambo Hoedown 4-18-11

Bonjour! The Hambo Hoedown challenge for this week is to use distressing and their little Ogre digi. I thought, hmm, an ogre in love; Paris is the city of love and the little ogre kind of reminds me of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, lol!
I made a "faux" postcard using the Stampin' Up rubber stamp set and the bottom strip of DP is from the Camden pad by 7Gypsies. As you see, the papers are distressed with scissors and ink. I also designed this around this week's OWH sketch, turning and tweaking it a bit with the scalloped circle, but I think it works. Thanks for stopping by!
