LSC184 Like it a Latte

This was the first card I made for the challenge on SCS. I really think something is missing but all the comments from the nice ladies at Splitcoastampers say to leave it the way it is. I used Pumpkin Pie as my orange because I don't think Only orange looks good with Chocolate Chip, but that's just my opinion. I embossed the stream with white embossing powder and added plumeria drew drops that to me look like honey. I really like making 2 cards for the challenges I like on SCS even though I have a mayor MESS in my stamping room. I will post some pictures of my room as soon as I get it organized again. 

LSC184 Orange Roasters

This was my second card I made for this challenge. To use orange and a coffee stamp or theme. This card started with a brad. Here is the story: I made my first card last night for this challenge because it was posted early so because I'm in Alaska it was around 8:30 pm for me. Anyway the card I made last night I could not figure out what was missing from it so I decided to finally open my build a brad kit that I bought since it first came out but have never used. I actually struggle to put the brad together as it does not come with instructions and I don't know why but it just was coming apart as I try to put the image in. Anyway after I was done with the first card I decided not to use the brad so it was left over. I was not going to waste it so I made this card and incorporate it. I think it came out pretty good. The stamp was an incentive from SU! that I got about 3 years ago and had never inked. I got the sketch from the gallery but flipped it. I like that I can use this card for any occasion.

WT182 Specialty Paper Flowers

This was the first card I did for the challenge. I didn't like how it turned out. I used my new border punch from Fiskars. I got this paper about a year and a half ago at my LSS and this is my first time cutting it.  This ribbon I also had forever. Enjoy!

WT182 Specialty Paper

I have been hoarding this paper and I don't know why. I guess it's because is shiny. I got this 2 stamps at Mike's this past Sunday from the $1 bin. Don't you just love the $1 bin? I know I do. I embossed the sign with clear embossing powder after I stamp it with white craft ink. It is also on dimensionals. The moon I colored with my watercolor pencils from SU! and then used a blender pen. The ribbon is also hoarded because is soooo pretty. I hope you like it!

SC192

This one was for the sketch challenge on SCS! I just love this challenges, every day is a new challenge. I just got me this stamp at Michael's on Sunday and it was just perfect for the sketch. Fluffles is flocked with caramel latte tan fun flock. There is also glitter on the ornaments. The bottom panel is an old DP from an old SU! Simply scappin' kit. The ribbon I've had for ages. I really like how this card turned out. I think Fluffles is so cute.

TLC184 Black Magic

This was for yesterdays try a new technique on SCS called Black Magic. This is done with prismacolor pencils and OMS or Odorless Mineral Spirits. I finally got to go shopping on Michaels' which is 4 1/2 hours from home and got me some stuff I need it to be able to keep on doing this wonderful techniques on SCS. I embossed the sentiment and it looks very bright but is only on the picture. 

Butterfly card

This was for todays color challenge on SCS using pinks. I used the new Pink Pirouette from SU!, Pretty in Pink and a DP from the Luxury Stack. I also got to use my new punches from MS. I love them. The main image is a stamp from M's that I got a long time ago for $1. I embossed it with iridescent ice EP from SU!  Brads, stickles on the butterflies and some ribbon to finish it.
