Simply Precious - Corrosive challenge

I made this card for the challenge over at Corrosive Challenge. This was a tough one because you could use no colored images and words had to be the focal point. I didn't want to decorate it too much as to take away from the words so I settled on a white background and a mauvish color for the words. This was a big change not adding a colored image but I think it turned out OK.

I ended up using a couple of Cricut designs to combine into one. I chose Simply Precious for the front and Me, You and Together for the inside. I used Core'dinations cardstock for the cut outs and sanded them down before mounting on the card. I used my Cuttlebug swiss dots folder and an edger. I made a couple of little butterflies for the corners and added one white flower in the open space.

Mojo Monday Sketch 82 - entry 368!

Before posting this I checked out Mojo Monday and I will be entry #368. My goodness, this is a very popular challenge!!

This is for the challenge over at Mojo Monday. I followed the sketch that they provided and used the Pen Pal stamp from Sugar Nellie designed by Elisabeth Bell.

The colors are lavendar's and olive's. I colored her with Copics and SU! pens. I used some gold trimmed ribbon for the accent across the bottom and stamped Just a Note. The bottom scallop is made using a MS punch and the pearl brads are from Oriental Trading Co. The inside is finished using the same papers.

Corrosive challenge

This card I made for the Corrosive Challenge sketch. I used one of my Gorjuss girl stamps, Copic sketch pens and Spring Fling paper from Making Memories. I also added some glitter to the outside of the Nestie and around the sentiment. The Gorjuss girl stamp also has glitter in the hearts on the hair, dress and boots.

Still Crazy

I made this card for the challenge at Colour Create Challenge and the Magnolia-licious April sketch.

I used Core'dinations card stock and MS design papers. I used Edwin and Shy Tilda for the Magnolia images. I colored them with the few Copics that I have and added some rose colored flowers, pearls and copper plated brads.

Penny Black challenge - GIFT

I made this 'box' using the tutorial on Follow your heart for the mini pizza box. This is for the Penny Black challenge. If you take a look at Follow your heart you will see a note the first post .... There recently was some wonderful blog candy and I won. The prize was a hand signed image from Elisabeth Bell along with a set of the new stamps from Elisabeth Bell that are being made especially for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design in the summer.

I used Penny Black stamps to decorate the top of this box. I only have a few PB stamps but I love them, especially the animals. They are so very cute! I do not remember where the papers came from but were purchased within the last year or so (maybe?). I also used my Copics to color the stamped images. I embellished with Flower Soft. The sentiment is from CTMH. I tied a yellow ribbon around the front of the box and added a bow on the inside. The inside is also decorated in the same papers as the front.

Sketch Saturday Challenge

My day began today at 5:00 a.m. I took the day off but still wanted to get up at the same time so I could 'play'. I stamp several Tilda's and brought out my small collection of Copic Sketch markers. I don't have that many but bought a few more on Wednesday. They sure aren't cheap! Anyhow, what you are seeing is my first finished Tilda using my Copics. I used them for all except the jeans. I ordered a 'denim' set of Copics from Susanna's Custom Art and Card Design (very reasonable I might add). I also ordered a skin set since I am having difficulties finding these at my local Hobby Lobby.

After I colored Tilda and was OK with her I decided I needed a challenge to use her in so I chose the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Here is my entry. I used CTMH papers, flower brads from my stash, ribbon and SU! ink.
