Rock the 60's

 

Guitar cards! I love them. I have two guitarists in my life, my dear husband and the dear boss. This card was for my boss's birthday and I will be making a duplicate for the husband. The colors were researched, I was trying to find colors that signified the 60's, my husband's favorite era of music. These fun colors came up.

The 60's were "Mod Madness".

 

What vibrant and brilliant earth tone colors!

Today starts a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations and like our "naked" cupcakes", it's all up to you to decorate them anyway you want, soooooo...... "ANYTHING GOES"!!!

To inspire you here is a medley of the top from the 60's.

 

You have two weeks to decorate that naked cupcake with out "Anything Goes" theme at Cupcake Inspirations!

Falala, falala

My favorite Christmas cards have critters in them. I love critters. Especially bears. My husband loves teddy bear cards. Probably because he is a big teddy himself! This card, I have made in two color schemes for the husband and my boss who both play the guitar.

This card is for the fun new challenge at Christmas 24. We want you to use critters on your card- or as the challenge says, animals.

 My card today features this set from Simon Says Stamp and this set from Flora and Fauna. 

You have two weeks to play along with our cute critter challenge at Christmas 24.

Oldie but goodie

There is nothing like a good monochromatic card and that is what The Rainbow Card Challenge is all about.  Every month we feature a different color and we challenge you to use that color exclusively.

This month's color is tangerine. You might think well why not orange? Why use orange when tangerine is so much more fun and inspiring. Besides so many folks have a love hate relationship with orange, but what's to hate about tangerine.

 

I can't decide who to give this card to, my hubby or my boss. Both are avid guitarists. I jusy might have to make another one. I am always on the look out for guitar stamps. Today's card features "Classic Rock" from Penelope Dee.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things; "For the Record".

Today's music inspiration is from another "oldie but goodie" Frank Sinatra, singing what else but "Tangerine"

 

You have all month to play along at The Rainbow Card Challenge tangerine challenge. I can't wait to see your creations!

Dude- you rock!

Hey everyone! This week at Just us Girls, Sue V. is hosting a technique challenge. It is an oldie but goodie. The "kissing" technique. If you aren't familiar with the technique, check out this tutorial from Split Coast Stampers.  

I played quite a bit with this technique and finally came up up with this card that I liked. The guitar dude displays the kissing technique. the watercolor background is from the watercolor color class going on now with Jennifer Maguire and Kristina Werner.

I hope you will take time this week to join us at Just Us Girls!
