The Outlawz Greetings Challenge

Hello, Crafty Peeples,

This is my second post today.  Here is a quck project for

 The Outlawz MONDAY GREETINGS CHALLENGE

THEME:  Use Black and White plus 1 Color

The Outlawz is a Membership NING Community so you must join to enter the challenges.  Membership is FREE...so no worries there.

I try to repurpose, reuse, recycle, upcyle most packing materials. For this wall hanger,  I used a corrugated cardboard box from an Amazon order to create the base.

I used padding glue to adhere the three 4"x6" pieces.

 The cardboard block was then covered with a piece of scrap fabric.

Gesso was applied to the edges 

Here, as is so often the case, I began to just play around with "possibilities" and did not take pictures along the way.  My hubby says I should just turn on my camera and let it run while I'm working and then go back and edit. 

I colored the panel using DecoArt Acrylic Paints Black, White and Majestic Red Metallic.

I sprayed the surface of the panel wtih 

Tattered Angels' Tropical Pink and Almost Black Glimmer Mist

 I used The Crafter's Workshop's "Art Is" stencil on the panel and 

the "Art Washes Away" stamp for my sentiment

The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, the pearls from Want2Scrap

ART CAT was colored using Gesso, Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink and

Tattered Angels' Almost Black Glimmer Mist

Challenges Entered:

Through The Craft Room Door - Always Anything Goes

I hope you will stop by The Outlawz and join in the fun!

We have 8 Challenges each week and you can participate in as many as you like. Prizes are awarded by each challenge team as well as Site Wide Prizes.

National Get Out Of The Doghouse Day!!!

IMAGE "PUPPY LOVE"  BY ROBERT JACKSON
"A Little Pup called Diggy!"

G;morning, Cardies!  This week, over at The Outlawz, The Creetings Challenge Team is celebrating National Get Out Of The Doghouse Day and The Dog Days of Summer!!  I decided to use this adorable little pooch by digi artist, Robert Jackson.  Aren't those eyes just adorable.  Coloring up the image took not time at all, deciding which dps to use took forever.  I have a ton of doggy print paper, but that was too obvious, and, I wanted to keep the dps neutral in case I wanted to give this card to a male co-worker or friend!  You should check out all the wonderful creations from my teammates.  I know we are going are going to get some really awesome cards in the challenge this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugz,

Chana!


I plan to submit this card to the following challenges
Make It Monday
Creative Mondays
Tammy's Scrapin' Corner

OUTLAWZ - 2000 MEMBER PARTY

IMAGE BY SASSY DESIGNS

Hello, Cardies, just a quick post!  Well, the party is on over at the Outlawz!  We are celebrating 2000 members!!!  We have fabulous prizes, engaging games, wonderful sponsors, and pages and pages of outstanding design from our DTs and from our members!

The Outlawz is a fabulous, growing community of "designing men and women."   If you are not already a member, I invite you to join us!  We have eight challenge groups, one for each day of the week, and our special "Creative Freebies Challenge" that gives you  two opportunities each month to receive up to four  truly fantastic free digital images.

You will find our membership to be warm and encouraging and our DTs are about the most supportive folks in the world!

My card was supposed to be "Americana" but I totally missed seeing that theme, so no Red, White, and Blue here, but, what is more American than "DRESSIN' UP AND LOOKIN' CUTE!"  I really wish the details in her gown had photgraphed better.  This was my first time "painting" with  Perfect Pearls and it really turned out nice.  The gown has a nice sheen with lots of little sparkles.  So pretty!  I love trying new stuff!

I hope to see you at the party!  Thanks for stopping by!

Big Gigantic Hugz,

Purple For Peace Day - Outlawz Greetings Challenge

Image By Robert Jackson

Good Morning, Cardies!

MONDAY means a new Greetings Challenge at The Outlawz,   This is really an off week for me at The Outlawz (we get two weeks per month off) but I wanted to participate. Today is Purple For Peace Day, I wanted to do something to honor the service of the men and women who risk paying the ultimate price to insure our peace and tranquility. I  served in the United States Army, and the camouflage ensignia on the bow is mine.  I hand wrote the sentiment and it expresses not only my feelings, but also those of my husband  (Army) and my son (Navy) who also served.

MONDAY is  always "TAMMY'S SCRAPIN CORNER" day here at Card-d-ology.  Tammy and Marc have assembled a truly talented group of designers and they put together wonderful challenges each Monday for our pleasure.  I did not get the challenge theme for this week but hopefully, my card will qualify. I will update this post when I have the deets.  Check IT Out!!!

MONDAY is also the last day to enter this week's "Anything Goes" Challenge over at Jackson's Digital Expressions!  Special images are not required, we just love to see your fantastic designs while we use our design challenges to introduce you to the work of super talented digi artist Robert Jackson!  Our new challenge starts on Tuesday, and our Altered Art Challenge Team is hosting.  Whoopee!  This means that in addition to the jaw-dropping card creations you have been submitting, those of you love to Alter  Ojects will be able to share your creations with us!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges: (I will add others depending on their theme)

Make It Monday -Anything Goes

Art With No Boundaries -Anything Goes

BunnyZoe's Crafts -Anything Goes
Ooh La La Creations - Ribbon or Twine or Both
Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything Goes
Truly Scrumptious: Challenge 80 - Anything Goes
Raise The Bar - Patriotic or Military

Thanks so much for stopping by!

HINDSIGHT - OUTLAWZ GREETINGS CHALLENGE

Sentiment by Unity Stamps

Hi, Cardies!  I actually made this card for the Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog.  Our DT challenge over there was handmde flowers and butterflies.  I thought it was so cool to use a punch to create my butterflies.  But when I didn't get the "Anything Goes" card I was working on for my Outlawz DT card, I decided to use this one instead.  It is very simple, but it is one of my favorites.  Hope you like it!
Some Reminders:

Make sure you check out Tammy's Scrapin Corner she has a wonderful challenge that starts each Monday.  She also has some new designers, you will want to check them out.

Jackson's Digital Expressions will have a new "Anything Goes Challenge" starting on Tuesday.  The challenge is being hosted by the Inks and Such Team, so it will be a great opportunity to show of your copic, prisma, chalk, and all other coloring skills.  Maybe we have some crayon masters out there...we would love to see it.

The Outlawz has too many prizes for me to mention here, but we would love to have you drop by and spend a little time at the Ranch.  We have 8, count em, 8 challenges, so I know you will find one that works for you.

Thanks for stopping by!
Big Hugz,
Chana

I PLAN TO SUBMIT TO THE FOLLOWING CHALLENGES:

Art With No Boundaries

They are doing something really cool, which I thought about for Jackson's Digital Expressions but was unsure of how to execute, but they are having two challenges at the same time. I entered both. One is their usual "Anything Goes" and the other challenge "Fit To Be Tied" Must have a "Tied Element" but you cannot use ribbon or lace or seam binding.  This was my entry into the CAS challenge. 

Oldie But A Goodie Challenge

Creative Freebies Challenge - Outlawz

Butterfly Digital Image by Sandi Huggett

Click Here For Stamp-N-Doodle Blog Hop

I really wanted to make two cards for the Creative Freebies Challenge at The Outlawz, but time constraints made that impossible, so I decided to combine both images on one card.  I was really pleased with the result!  I printed Sandi's wonderful butterfly onto Vellum and then colored on the reverse side.  The designer paper is from Memory Box (I am a BIG fan of this company.) 

If you love working with Digis, want to meet some of the nicest Peeps on the planet, and are interested in getting free fantastic Digis twice a month, then you should head over to the Outlawz and join the Creative Freebies Challenge Group.

Thanks for PEEPING!

Artist's Trading Cards

This is my DT Card for The Book Month Challenge at Outlawz.  It is inspired by Maya Anegelou's "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings!  It is also my entry at Unstampabelles.  It is nice to see more sites that don't require stamping. So glad I found these ladies!  When you enter their challenges, just remember they are on Australian time!

 I really enjoy making these little cards!  I hope to create some ATCs using some of my old metal stencils, I think I might be able to produce a pretty cool image.  I purchased a set of Artist Cards, and I used one of  those for my bird cage ATC.  I put the cards away and could not find them today, but I realized I had a ton of medium weight chipboard so I used that for the next two ATCs.  For those of you not familiar with Artists Trading Cards, they are an off shoot of Artists Cards which many famous artist use to make and sell for extroadinary amounts of money.  Artist Trading Cards are not intended to be sold.  The only rule is that the card must be 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  You can paint them, etch, stencil, whatever you desire.  Hope you enjoy looking!  C-YA!

These ATCs were created for the Creative Freebies Challenge at The Outlawz.  The digis were created by my Teammies, Sandi Huggett (Angel) and Anne E. Fenton (Cupcakes).  This week Anne and Sandi were very generous and gave us four wonderful Digis for our creations.  I was only able to complete projects using these two.  If you are just starting to use digital images/stamps, the CFC Challenge at The Outlawz might be a good place for you to start.  Twice a month, you will receive two-four free digis and it is only necessary to use one in a project in order to get the next set of free images.
While you are at The Outlawz, check out the other seven great weekly challenges: CAS, Greetings, Sketch, Copics, Twisted Thursday, Color, Paper Ala Mode.

Supplies:  Art Parts, 7 gypsies ATC Tray Kit, Prima Lace, Ribbon, Pearls and Copics.
