NBUS Challenge Number 8

I made the above card for Darnell's NBUS Challenge #8

It's also a Belated card for their 46th Wedding Anniversary.

You can see the challenge here
http://www.djkardkreations.com/2017/01/blog-birthaversary-surprise-nbus.html

And I also have a link to her blog on my sidebar.

I have been SICK for almost a week now.  (My hubby started it this time)  He was sneezing and coughing more than a week ago...and, as I said before we share EVERYTHING.

I'm not sure if my card followed all the rules.  It's the best I could come up with considering how I am feeling right now.  I know I was supposed to use Kraft paper (which I did) and colored Pencils...which I did   (In fact it's my NBUS,  I purchased the colored pencils to use to color images for my one day vacation last September, and never opened the pack.  I Made jewelry instead.
I frankly, don't care if it's eligible or not for a prize, (with most of it being paper pieced and not all colored with pencils. I told Darnell a long time ago that I would enter her challenges with or without a prize.

I have entered everyone of the previous 7 challenges and I did NOT want to miss this one either.

How I made my card...

I got my supplies together
and then I rested on the couch for a while..

I stamped my images, and cut out my card stock
and then I went and rested on the couch for a while.

I also stamped some images that I could use to paper piece and then glued then on the card
and then I went and rested on the couch for a while.

I finished gluing my card...
and then rested on the couch for a while.

I then took a photograph
and cropped it and downloaded it to my computer...
And then went and rested on the couch for a while.

I'm finally posting it to my blog
and when I'm done I will go rest on the couch again.

If you think I'm kidding...ask my hubby...
That's how determined I was to get a card in Darnell's challenge.

I will try and comment on other cards when I'm feeling better
WHICH I sure hope is by Tomorrow!!!!   Smile

Thanks for visiting my blog,

NBUS Challenge number 4 My third Card

 Click on card to enlarge

I made this card for Darnell's NBUS Challenge.  This is Darnell's 4th Challenge, and I have entered every one of her Challenges, (In fact, I was one of the fortunate ones to win a prize in her first challenge).   This is my third entry for this challenge, and it's the first time that I have entered 3 cards in her challenge.  Usually it was one or two.

The challenge can be found here...

Again, thank you so much, Darnell, for your wonderful challenges, and encouraging all of us

to use our NBUS.   I know I needed the push to get out some of my items in my craft room

that had not been used before.  (Like this 4 year old stamp)

********************************************************************

I thought that this would be a quick 5 minute card to make   NOT!!!

My NBUS item is my stamp!  I purchased the set at a stamp show FOUR years ago, and I am finally getting around to using it.  I lost the topper to the package, but I think it said that stamp is made by Hampton Arts ?

My hubby colored her face with Copics for me...R11, R29, R00, R000, RV000, T5
I paper pieced her hat and dress using Designer paper from Grapic 45, (Botanical Tea Collection)
I cut out the image using a Spellbinder die   Nestabilities, Classic Ovals Large.
I added some Vellum to the background, lace, ribbon, brads, and a rose from my stash.

Darnell, I wanted to add this quote to the second card that I had added to your challenge.
the sunshine card that I made...And I forgot about this quote...

But this quote is for you.
"Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves."
~J.M. Barrie

I just hope that all the sunshine you bring to others...with your generosity,
lovely comments, and caring support you give to others...
is reflected back to you...

Blessings,
Jill

House Mouse Challenge HMFMC124

I did some HAND stitching around the card. For years I did cross stitch, embroidery, crewel, smocking, needlepoint, sewing, etc. I forgot how long it took to do stitching! (Maybe it's just because I am out of practice...smile...)
I added some stick on beads, and made my umbrella by paper piecing using a Dream Weaver Umbrella stencil LG737,
I am also entering this card in the Dream weaver challenge this month which is also using the "Summer" theme.
