Oh Happy Day

Posted in Blog Challenge, Clean and Simple, July 2014, Muse Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I haven’t posted in the last couple of days because my camera card refused to work. What nerve!! We spend all of this money on these cards and they want to act funny. Luck for me I do not reuse cards. Once a card is full I buy another, so I have plenty on hand. Unlucky for me I had to go through one of them and delete some photos so I can take these photos. Yes, Oh Happy Day for me. LOL.

Ok, on to why I’m here today.

I’m here today playing with the Muse Challenge #74. The Muse for this week is Jennifer Wills!

Check out her card:

I have to say, when I saw this card I was a bit intimidated. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, what I can do or what I should do. My brain was on frozen mode. Then I thought I want to keep my card clean and simple. Then I thought maybe I will die cut, but I knew everyone else would, so I didn’t want to do that.

I decided that I would only die cut my center piece and then add embellishments to give the card dimension.

Take a look:

I die cut my square then added pattern paper.

I rounded the corner, stamped my sentiment, added my twine and button.

Clean and Simple to the max.

By the way, I have been playing with my camera, trying to get brighter pictures that are sharp and crisp. What do you think? Any suggestions.

I used my:

Canon 40D

Shooting Mode: AV (Aperture Value)

50mm lens f/1.4

Aperture: 1.4

Shutter speed: 1/80

Exposure Compensation: +1

White Balance: Daylight (I will try Auto next time to see what results I get)

Please let me know what you think.

Cherry Berry FLOAT..

Posted in Blog Challenge, CASology Challenge, Clean and Simple, July 2014, One Layer Card by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today playing along with CASology Week 102: Float!!!

I have to admit when I saw this cue card, I wanted to do a hot air balloon or just regular balloons. I thought that would be easy.

Then I said to myself, why not be different. Why not be unpredictable. So, I went through all of my stamps to see what would float? What could give the feeling of floating?

Guess what! I found something. Yes, yes, yes! What could we all use on a nice summer day to cool us down?

Yes, yes, yes!! A float! Not just any float or the most common one, A CHERRY BERRY FLOAT with two straws!

Take a look:

D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S

How cute is this!!! Did you see the sparkle on my ice cream!!! I was going to add some other embellishments but decided against it since this is a clean and simple card challenge and white space matters, lol.

The Copic colors I used were R29, BG49

So0000, tell me what you think. Really, let me know. What is a good idea or what!

WOW! What Color Is That?

Posted in Blog Challenge, Clean and Simple, June 2014, Muse Challenge, One Layer Card, Stampin' Up! In Colors by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m back again today, this time for the Muse Challenge #73. The Muse for this week is Beverley Brown!

Take a look at Beverley Brown’s card:

Now take a look at my card:

I wasn’t sure which picture I wanted to use so I decided to add both of them.

Beverley created a CAS card that I love. I love the simplicity of her card.

Beverley used multicolor in her butterflies, so I wanted my flowers to have that same multicolor look. I used the baby wipe technique to create my multicolor flowers.

Then I stamped my sentiment with the same multicolor ink.

I had fun creating this card. Soooo, what do you think?

Smiling Is So Contagious

Posted in Blog Challenge, CAS(E) this sketch!, Clean and Simple, June 2014, One Layer Card by Kreative Kymona

Have you ever smiled till it hurts?

Well I’ve been smiling since Saturday.

I received some good news yesterday from CAS(E) this sketch! My Seeing Stars card was chosen as one of their favorite cards!!!!! You can check out the announcement here. I was so excited. Thank you ladies for that distinction.

I’m here again with another CAS(E) this sketch! #78. Julie Day created the sketch for this challenge.

Take a look:

This was a fun sketch to work with. Since I was so happy, I wanted to stick with happy colors for this sketch.

Take a look:

I used the zig zap stamp form Life is a Journey Simon Says Stamp to create the zig zap pattern in the three different colors.

I had to use Papertrey Ink’s Wet Paint 3 Smile sentiment because I can’t stop smiling.

To give balance to the card I added some sequins and rhinestones in the colors of the ink.

Simply but classy one layer card! What do you think?

Addicted to CAS – Wheels

Posted in Blog Challenge, Clean and Simple, March 2014 by Kreative Kymona

I’m excited about the card I made for the Addicted to CAS challenge today. The code word for this CAS challenge is WHEELS!! I have this stamp set from Stampin’ Up! that I have haven’t had the chance to use that has this really nice size bicycle image that is perfect for this challenge.

To keep my card clean and simple, I just stamped the bicycle image and added buttons to the wheels for color.

Take a look:

After stamping the image and the sentiment, the top of the card need something, so I added a few starburts from Mama Elephant stamp set in the same color of the wheels.

I love the look of white on white, it makes the card look so classy. I rounded the corners of the mat for added dimension.

Please tell me what you think of my card.

Classic Crest Solar White CS
