Flip Flap Chipmonks

Yesterday on Splitcoast, a Flip Flap Card was the Technique Challenge. Rose Ann has a great tutorial here .<----------
It's really a fun card to do, I hope you try it!!

I colored this adorable Tom Allen image with copics. Can't you just imagine these little guys enjoying those blueberries once they're all washed!
Now, if before seeing this card, I told you to get a DCWV mat stack called Nursery "Baby Boy" and use it for this layout...you'd probably roll your eyes ! But that's just the paper I used! You probably can't tell from the photo, but the bitty blue flowers have a tiny dot of stickles.... like a shiny wet blueberry!

This card is standard 5.5 wide so I was able to use my Top Score for the rounded flap and of course to score. Can you see the dry embossing along the scallops? I scored that first then used scallop scissors to cut away the excess and just adhered that piece to my base cardstock!

The scalloped oval was done using my Nestabilities. And the button closure is a button from my button can...golly, I'd hate to think how old it might be...it came from my mother! I added a tiny white pearly button for the center.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you learned a thing or two. Now, go create!!

It's been a while hasn't it!

Today I did this fun card for the color challenge on SCS combining the sketch on CPS. It also gave me a chance to play with my Top Score *wink*

I scored the dark gray, cut away close to the scallop and scored again.

The Canned Indian Summer Coneflowers became daisies, colored with copics. I also need to get another ruler and keep it specifically for copics! Mine is black from use with a sharpie marker and even though I've cleaned it, it'll leave a telltale line when using a different marker!
So, brainstorm here! Yes, ONCE in a while I am capable!! LOL

After making a faux layer with my copic cool gray #1 (and having a darker line along the inside), I took my artist pen and ruler and went over the lines extending to the edges. I like the look!
The next layer is a piece of white cs edged with copic cool gray #7.

Using My New Toy

I saw an ad for the Crafter's Companion and thought it looked like something I needed. *wink* With it you can score, emboss, make boxes and envelopes.I made this card last week for the Technique Lover's Challenge on SCS, Split Negative With a Twist. We had to use coordinating cardstock, not black & white.

This used a full sheet of Prism Prismatic cardstock, intense teal, scored in 3 equal segments (approx. 2 3/4"). I then put this piece at an angle on the wavy score line and cut away the upper portion. Using another piece of Prism, frosted teal, I scored it using the wavy line to match the inside I was putting it in and cut away the upper portion. Scored again on the wavy line just below the first. I also turned the inside panel, with the flower, over and scored again so the lines matched (being scored out instead of in) when the card is finished.

Inking up the Single Coneflower by Cornish Heritage Farms with Ranger Black Soot, I stamped on the folded front so the upper portion of the flower was on the second panel...then using my stampamajig, I stamped it again on the inside. I also made the stem a little longer with an artist pen.

I had to paint the front with some gesso because the prismacolor pencils weren't showing up! Plus it still needed that 'split negative' look to it. The inside is colored with copics.

Adding another piece of the frosted teal to the back panel, the ribbon and my sentiment from Kim Hughe's, Silhouette Blooms finished off this unique 'Concertina' card.
