I get to issue the challenges for the month of July to our CCEE group.
A while back, Frances, one of our group, did a card using the Modern Grid technique…it was cute and I’d never done it before, so I thought it would be a good one to start the month!
Basically what you do is (took this from our CCEE blog, thanks Frances!! LOL)
Here’s my card
I used “Boys Will Be Boys” from Artful Inkables, colored with Copics. I made masks for the tree/tree house and the boy/vine (I didn’t bother with the leaves!), then used my ABS and airbrushed, then I made the grid. I wish I’d figured in more dashes, but I’d already done some solid lines before I thought about it! LOL!
The image panel is 4.75 square and is faux layered using a black marker and ruler. The card measures 5x5.
Be sure to see how the other girls did the technique! …CCEE Blog

Yesterday for the Featured Stamper on SCS I made this card using another set from Artful Inkables, A Friendly Light. It’s colored with Copics, even the layers are Copics around the edges of white cs! It’s a great way to save on cardstock and get colors that follow your theme! The only other cardstock is the Cuttlebugg’d layer, Prism Kraft.
I also used a new Mudd Puddles sand I just got called, Sunset. I’m going to have to do a step by step tutorial with this sand so you can see how cool it is to work with! That layer is completely bendable, yet it’s hard! I have a lot of new colors to play with…I just need TIME!

My time with Kristin and Artful INKables is almost over...wow, that was a fast 6mos! She's having a call for new design team members. Visit the AI blog to see the deets. Kristin is great to work with, you'll have a blast!!

The State Fair Llama Show is in 3 weeks…are we ready? NO! Our county fair starts 2 weeks after that with our 4H show the following week! I just know the garden is going to produce something that’s going to need canned or frozen during that time too!
So, if posts get a little scarce, you’ll know why!!
Hope your week is a good one!
Thanks for stopping!

Oh Dawn your artwork is just beautiful...I love these cards, especially the lighthouse set! I want to thank you for your darling get well card you sent me!!! What an uplift, which I have really needed. You are such a sweetheart!
Great colouring on your first card, Dawn! I can't believe how beautiful your lighthouse card is. I love everything about it...from your colouring, to your use of movement that mimics waves, to your creative use of sand. Well Done!
Wonderful cards. I am very drawn to the Lighthouse card. It's just beautiful.
