Ok, the CCC this week is Inking and Stamping Masks...you can check the details on Linda's blog HERE.
I went with a card this week, who doesn't need those?
I'm not sure about this, but I tried some different colors....I'm thinking Brolley Man is Irish.
Classic Tim stamps. I used Olive Archival for the sentiment and umbrella dude. The background is the wrinkle free distress using Crushed Olive and Pine Needles. I kinda like that combo. I think the rest is self explanatory.
And the theme over at Order of the Opus Gluei is actually...a sketch. You can see the sketch, the details and other wonderful entries HERE. Again, I went with a card. And it is probably not going to fit in a flat envelope.
There is a slight pattern on the background paper, it's just hard to see. I looked at the back of the paper for a name or something, didn't find that, but I found the year....2001. Yes, it's true. But I still like it. I overstamped it with Wendy's script stamp in Tea Dye. The sentiment is Wendy's too. I had a flower I had made using old book paper, sprayed with Maya Mist Brown, then a chipboard button ran thru the embossing folder for the center of the flower, with some baker's twine tied thru it. I added some Prima Say It In Pearls with two others next to the flower, all mounted on a piece of brown velvet with ecru lace at top and bottom.
So, there you have it! Couple of challenges done, let's see how the rest of the week plays out! Thanks for stopping by, hope you are having an arty week!

Both of your cards are beautiful. I love your irish umbrella man and the stitching around the card is brilliant. Your second cars is wonderful. I love brown velvet ribbon and lace.
The flourishes around umbrella guy are great, as is your color palette.
Brolly man looks fab in green, but then he looks fab in any colour! Two great cards Lori! xx
Fabulous cards Lori! Brellie man came out great!

Beautiful cards, Lori! I love the umbrella man! Of course, I love everything Tim! :)
Super job on both pieces! Great minds think a like...I used Umbrella Man on my SSSS and CCC32 challenge pieces this week!
Love your projects. That flower is out of this world. You have to teach me how to make one of those!
Top of the mornin' to you! O love your Irish gent and all your greens. Your card is fabby too and that flower is gorgeous!
I know, me again. This time, to say, there is something for you on my blog.
Love how you used Mr. Umbrella Guy! Can't wait to get my hands on that die! Your card is gorgeous as well! Love them both!
Oh, I love these cards - Irish Brolley man is terrific and you did the Opus Gluei sketch challenge! YAY, it's wonderful too - I really like those embellishments. The flower is wonderful, it's so chic and elegant/
Both are great! I really LOVE the flower made from book paper and sprayed with Maya Mist...is it sprayed before or after the flower is assembled? Just love it!
Hi Ms Lori. I found you through the Opus Gluei site. Your work is lovely and I THINK YOU FIT RIGHT IN THE THE REST OF US! Mhaaa haaa!!
I adore you CCC card, but that's a whole other story. One of the nicest I've seen for this week's challenge.
Loving your irish brolly man card, it's tip top!
Love these Lori! of course anything with umbrella man instantly gets an A+ from me :) I like the colour combo you used and it is good to try different things. The other card is gorgeous too with that fab flower on it. Have not got to the challenge so far this week, not sure if I will :(
Geez- I feel so out of it not using umbrella man this week!!! I love that stamp & you did a fantabulous job on that piece - love the color combo, the sewing, the layers and the little chandelier in the right corner (thought I didn't notice?)
The second piece is so different and so beautiful-love that flower - the whole piece just works so well...
Both Cards are Stunning!!
There's a blog award for you at my blog if you would like to pick it up http://bearcrazyman.blogspot.com/

I laughed! I always laugh at your clever puns. And I always love your art, too, and this week's no exception.
Brolley O'Mally (that's what I'm calling him, okay?) is fabulous, and boy oh boy, did you give him a cool card to live on! Love that floursh-y background and the stitching (you stitched! I'm pretty jealous of your mad stitching skills, but I still love you). Great colors, too, and the masking is spectacular.
Loving your Opus Gluei card, too. That flower is sensational!
Brolly man looks fab in the blue/green combo, love it Lorri x
Both are awesome and I am totally in love with the "Happiness" card. May even have to "knock it off" lol.
Oooooooh. BOTH of these cards are fantabulous. I love those colors in the Brolley Man card. And you have captured the OPUS GLUEI sketch perfectly. LOVE your flower too.
LOVE this card!! Really great colors. I also love the second card - you always do such fantastic work!
