Hello everyone, its Thursday, and you know what that means!   Another fun challenge at the Outlawz,   Twisted Thursday Challenge!   We have the usual "Anything Goes...with the Twist being...Boys Will Be Boys"!   I used a fun digi image from Saturated Canary called "Brothers".

I colored the image with Copic Pens and mounted it on some paper from my stash, and added just a bit of bling.  The sentiment says, "Don't Forget"...

Inside says, "The Awesome Moments"!

I used SB Dies to cut out the inside shapes from matching paper!

It's Thursday and that means another new challenge has started at the Outlawz!  This week the challenge is the usual "Anything Goes...with the twist being...Spread Your Wings and Fly"!   This theme is perfect for anyone starting something new...first day of school, off to college, new job or any new venture!   I tried something new for me, this week!  

I first cut this card base using my Silhouette.   The base and the butterfly pieces came with the file.   I used a pack of paper that I got at Wal-Mart called watercolor paper.   It is a nice paper that is 12x12 and no two pieces are alike.  They look like swirled watercolor backgrounds.   I started with the pink base, but I cut the butterfly pieces from a yellowish piece.   Next, I added some Inspirations glitter paint to the butterflies.   It is kind of translucent, so you can still see the yellow, just hints of the paint color show.   But then....I added UTEE ( Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) to the butterflies!   I had never used this stuff before, but I have to say, I like it!!  I watched some videos on how to use it.   It is just like embossing powder, but it gets very thick, almost like a plastic coating, and shiny!  So now the butterflies are thicker and coated and really stand out!   It's much better in person!  I used clear, so the paint I added still shows.   I think you can add glitter to this stuff...I will have to experiment!  You just use a heat gun like with regular embossing powder.

I stamped the flower image on the front of the card using Olive Green ink, some dark, some light to give it some dimension, and then I added some white to the flowers using a Stampin Up Chalk Pen.   I had the sentiment, so I stamped it on a pre-cut shape and mounted it with pop dots.  The butterflies were also added with pop dots.

A close-up, but still doesn't do it justice!

Inside I stamped some more of the same flower, and then added some small stamped butterflies.

 I will be using UTEE again.   I got mine at Susanna's Custom Art and Card Design!

August is upon us and The Twisted Thursday team, at the Outlawz, has some fun challenges planned for the month!   Our sponsors this month are, Marker Pop and Paper Temptress!  For this first week of August the theme is the usual "Anything Goes...with the twist being...Men At Work"!  When I started to think about this one, I thought of my husband, and this is what immediately came to mind....

Yep, he's an avid golfer, and this is now his work,  hence the hashtag!

I cut the silhouette out using my Silhouette.   The bush is cut using a die and the green area and blue water hazard are just cut free hand to give the golfer something to stand on.   The background paper is a sunset paper from an Origami Paper collection.  I printed and cut the sentiment using my Zink Happy printer!   I also added a very thin Dazzle border on each side...it just needed something!

Inside is simple....some chevron Washi tape and that is it!

Come join us at the Outlawz and show us your men at work!

It's the last Thursday in July, and we have a fun challenge for the Twisted Thursday Challenge at the Outlawz!   The challenge is as always..."Anything Goes...with the twist being...Feet"!  I thought this was such a fun creative idea for a challenge!  There are just so many ways to go with this theme!    I used this fun image from Stampingbella called The Right Shoes!   This is a rubber stamp and it comes with the sentiment.   This set reminds me so much of my daughter and I will be sending her this card!  She loves those shoes with the red soles, by the famous designer, so that is why they are colored this way!

I colored with my Copic Pens and just added a bit of Wink Of Stella to the legs and the red part of the soles, and a gem to the bow, and more gems and a bow along the side.   I wanted it to be all done in black, white and red, with just the flesh tone on the legs.

Inside was rather simple using SB Wonky rectangle dies and the sentiment that came with the stamp, again in the black, white and red.

I hope you all have that right pair of shoes that makes you feel this way!

I have a new Twisted Thursday Challenge entry to share.   This week at the Outlawz, the new Twisted Thursday Challenge is, as always, "Anything Goes...with the twist being...Anything Goes"!   That should be an easy one for everyone, so let us see what you have been creating!

I was anxious to use this beautiful Tiger Lily image from Anne Fenton.

I tried something new...I didn't use Copic Pens, instead I used water soluble crayons!   The whole image was colored with these water soluble crayons, and it was fun and easy to do!  The color is rich and vibrant in the flower, but it is subtle in the background.   The intensity was easy to control.   

I did add some Stickles to the spots on the flower, and to the butterfly bodies.

Inside is just a couple of SB die cuts, and the butterflies are another die cut!

Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone!   I have a new card to share with you today!   It is for the Deedee's Digis challenge.  This is a monthly progressive challenge.  If you enter the challenge every month, you automatically get the next month's digs free!   How great is that?  Just buy it the first time, and then enter every month!   It is a fabulous deal!

Isn't this little guy, cool?  He is just chillaxing in his tub of ice cubes!

I colored him with Copics, cut him out with a SB die and mounted him on a piece of Shimmer  Sheetz!   This stuff is awesome!   It is so sparkly and shiny, and changes color in the light.   It also embosses really well, but this time I did not emboss it.  This was then mounted on a sheet of purple card stock and then on the striped paper with a bit of Washi tape to add some visual interest.

I added Glossy Accents to the ice cubes, and some Perfect Pearls to the feet and beak of the little penguin.   

Inside I used one of the sentiments that came with the set and just mounted it on the same purple card stock, and added some more of the same Washi tape.

I hope you will stop by Deedee's Digis, and join in on the fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week!

Wow, its the middle of July already!  What is your favorite summer activity?  What do you like to do in the "Good Old Summer Time"?  That is the twist this week at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge!   The challenge is, as always..."Anything Goes...with the twist being...In the Good Old Summer Time"!   I'm sure we will see lots of interesting ideas this week!  I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

I chose this adorable image by Anne Fenton called "Freddie's BarBQ"!  It just looked so summery to me!   He is sitting on his Lily pad catching bugs!

I colored the image with my Copic Pens.   I used Gelatos to make the setting sun and sky background.   I also added some Gelatos to the water over top of the Copics.   I wasn't sure if that would work, but it does!  I was able to add the purple mauve color to the water this way.  Little Freddie has some Stickles added to the spots on his back, and I added some cut out butterflies and dragonflies, and a bit of greenery to the scene.

Inside I just added some more die cuts from a SB die.
