Fun Stampers Journey-Day of the Dead ATC

Hello All!

This ATC was made with products from Fun Stampers Journey, Copics, and some very old lime green rhinestones!

The stamps are from The Day of the Dead ~ #SS-0146.  The CS I used was Black Licorice, Whip Cream, Catalina Splash, and Tangerine Fusion.  Inks were Black Licorice and Catalina Splash.  I fussy cut and sprayed the skull with a 1/1 mixture of Journey Glaze and water.  I then sprinkled Journey Sparkle Dust all over it, making it look like a real Sugar Skull.

I'm entering this ATC in the following challenges:
Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge # 129~Day of the Dead
Shopping Our Stash #174~Halloween


You can order Fun Stampers Journey products at my website: funstampersjourney.com/karens

The products I used are from Fun Stampers Journey.  I used the Snow Burst and Ornament Party stamp sets.  The ink used is Whip Cream and Black Licorice;  the CS is Watermelon Fusion, Black Licorice, Bubblegum Pink, and Kiwi Slice.  I cut out the ornaments using the Journey Circles Die.

Fun Stampers Journey Card for Jingle Belles Pink Christmas #3

Welcome!

I made this card for the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas Challenge.  Here's what they had to say about this challenge: 

"We're pretty sure everyone who's ever played along at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ saw this one coming, but that doesn't make it any less exciting! Yes, once again, in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are celebrating ♥PINK CHRISTMAS♥! What does that mean? Well, we'd like to see holiday cards with a noticeable bit of pink on them, and for every card you guys link up, Stephanie and Lauren are each donating $2 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation!"  Pretty cool!  

This is the last of three cards I made.  The products I used are from Fun Stampers Journey.  I used the Snow Burst stamp set and the Frosty Fun ATS (Artist Trading Stamp).  The ink is Whip Cream; the CS is Watermelon Fusion, Black Licorice, and Blue Lagoon.  I colored Frosty with Copics and accented him with Journey Sparkle Dust and Journey Glaze.

Fun Stampers Journey Card for Jingle Belles Pink Christmas #2

 

Hello Everyone!
I made this card for the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas Challenge.  Here's what they had to say about this challenge: 

"We're pretty sure everyone who's ever played along at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ saw this one coming, but that doesn't make it any less exciting! Yes, once again, in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are celebrating ♥PINK CHRISTMAS♥! What does that mean? Well, we'd like to see holiday cards with a noticeable bit of pink on them, and for every card you guys link up, Stephanie and Lauren are each donating $2 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation!"  Pretty cool!  

 

This is the second of three cards I made.  All products I used are from Fun Stampers Journey.  It's a CAS card this time using the Journey Circles die and the Snow Burst stamp set. The ink is Whip Cream; the CS is Watermelon Fusion, Black Licorice, and Blue Lagoon.  I stamped the snowflake using Whip Cream ink on the Watermelon Fusion CS and centered it in the Journey Circle die.  I embellished it with a Sparkle Dot.  I cut out a piece of CS to look like the top of an ornament, and covered it with Journey Sparkle Dust.  A Paper Clip Element (they are so small and cute) was added behind the top and Black Gingham Ribbon was added.

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #18- I is for Iconic

Welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #18  

I is for Iconic!

Edna looks pretty snazzy and definitely iconic, doesn't she!  I think she fits the definition of the word perfectly!  "Someone or something widely recognized and well-established, very successful and admired, widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence, a widely known symbol."  I know Edna, especially Flat Edna, is admired, widely known, and acknowledged for her excellence in finding good wines and Wisconsin craft beer!  Check out Flat Edna's photos in this previous post (L is for Layer-One Layer), if you don't believe me.  

I worked on a number of cards with different iconic people...they ended up it pieces!  They just weren't meant to be.  As I thought about it I realized Katharine Hepburn is truly iconic.  I love all of her movies...she is spunky and as I realized, pretty snarky too!  When I saw the quote I knew I had to use it! 

I feel this photo of Katharine Hepburn fits the quote I used.  The free font is Smilage.  The specialty paper has shimmery silver flowers, but the photo doesn't do it justice.

I found this October 31, 2007 article, Diary reveals feisty side of Katharine Hepburn, in The Telegraph  This is the part I loved...so snarky!   

{On a 1950 tour of As You Like It Hepburn records in her journal how she was arrested for speeding by an Oklahoma policeman.
Taken to a local lawyer's office, she slammed the door in the officer's face as she announced: "I have been arrested by this moron."
Her anger grew as they tried to find a judge. "I said that I was sorry I did not have a week to take off and if I ever found an Oklahoma car in Connecticut, I would flatten all the tyres," she wrote.}

I can't believe she called the cop a moron!  My one pet peeve...these entries are from her journals and I'm pretty sure she spelled tires the American way, but the article spells it tyres.  How dare the British!  ;-)

Challenge #18 ends on Friday, October 17t at 11:55 pm EDT   Find your favorite Iconic person, place or thing and have some fun!  Then just enter your project at SoSS.    

You'll have a chance to win the auspicious title of Queen or Princess of Snark!    

You know you want to win it!  If you're our Queen, you can be our Guest Designer!
