Earth Day Challenges continued.....

I could not wait to see the sun this morning so I could get up and do another challenge. Wow these challenges have inspired me SO MUCH!! Like I always say...."I am CRACK~A~LACKIN'!"

Another challenge was to take one of those subscription inserts and use it somehow on your card, from Debbie here is my card.
I used a subscription card and painted it with an acrylic dabber (espresso) then used a stamp (stampedous!, Changito's Love Balloon)with perfect medium and emboss with black, white and red embossing powder. I used azure and sugarberry Smooch to color in the shoes of the monkeys. I also used Smooch (gold lame) to highlight the monkeys ears and hands. I colored in the heart with red Stickles. I added color to the monkeys face and belly with Martha Stewart craft markers(persimmon) The "you & me: sticker is a K&Company (Mira word and phrases Embossed sticker) I added Stickles (red) to the words. Lastly added Rick Rack (white)around the edge of the card.

Stay tuned for more updates today. I am sure I will be back adding things all day!


Kathi's challenge to us is to re-purpose and/or use plastic in a card or tag. I used a plastic that I took off of an embellishment package. The butterfly is from K& company I then added Smooch (siren & gold lame) to the flowers. The word "adore" is from my stash and not sure I picked that up sorry. I also added Smooch (gold lame & siren) to added color. The large yellow flower is Prima (Calypso)and the small pink flower is also Prima (Fabric Fancies). The white flower between the two is another Prima (Fabric Fancies)
plastic I started with

finished product

Tracy challenge was : Use a "rainbow" or "rainbow colors" on a card or project. I took a green card base and added the rainbow paper. Yellow and purple ribbon along the middle and across the top. I used a white glitter paper and added 3 layered flowers on top of that with a green bling. In the corner I added the work lucky. Lucky cause that is what rainbows are about, right?
Marnie challenge was to Reuse/Recycle Magazine pages. I took a brown piece of paper and made it look like a tree. I the Nation Geographic Jr. magazine I found a picture of 2 baby wood peckers so i made the look as if they were in the hallow of the tree. Placed a nature beauty sticker on the card and added a ribbon.
