Whiff of Joy sketch challenge

I made this card for the current sketch challenge going on at Whiff of Joy. I love their stamps and do not have the opportunity to use them as much as I would like. I dusted off this cutie and put her to paper.

 

I just love the detail in these stamps and they are so fun to color.  Here is a close up of her:

And here is the inside.

Thanks for stopping by and sorry for the short post. Have a great day!

Sentiments at Scrappy Frogs

Hello Friends

Over at Scrappy Frogs we have started a new challenge and it’s all about sentiments. Sentiments are often the last thing you think about when making a card, but they are an important part.

For my card I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Lacey Circles. I cut and embossed these using my Grand Calibur. Boy is this a nice machine, I cut all four of these at the same time and to top it off I double cut the two sizes of cardstock with no problems! If you don’t have one of these I would suggest checking into it, it is an awesome tool!

For my sentiments I used SSD Lacey Circles stamps for the outer circle stamp and the Thinking of You. For the flowers above and below my sentiment I used  SSD Beaded Circles Stamp. The white in the circles are pearls I put on using my I-Rock tool. This is another great tool to have, I just love it. There is a fast setting glue on the back of these, you place them where you want them, turn on your I-Rock, apply pressure and you’re done! Love it!!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting and hope to see you over at Scrappy Frogs!

Sugar Bowl Embossing & Catered Crop Challenge

Today I made a card using this adorable Manga image for the Sugar Bowl Embossing challenge. I am also entering this in the Catered Crop challenge. I used Nestabilities, Copics, Memento Ink and Cuttlebug Embossing folder for the recipe.

I used Bloom & Grow for my image and some wonderful colored paper in blues, oranges and pinks. I used my Bloom cuttlebug folder for the embossing and added some ribbons and a few rhinestones to the front.

I colored the image using Copics and coordinated her with the paper.

For the inside of the card I embossed the a mat and added the below Just Rite sentiment along with a couple more rhinestones.

Thinking of You with Tilda and Edwin

Happy New Year! Today it is my turn to show you my creation for Anything Goes challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central. I chose Tilda and Edwin dancing for my image.

I wanted something bright so I chose this beautiful flower paper with yellow and blue as my main colors. I colored them with Copics and matted them using my Nestabilities Big Scallop Circles. For my sentiment I used SSD Lacey Circles stamps and added a few yellow rhinestones. The flower is from my stash and I added some Yellow Chandelier Garland.
Here is a close up of Edwin and Tilda.

Thank You --- From the heart

Happy New Year! So, I’ve made my first card for the new year.
Before I show you, there are several challenges that I will be entering it in:

• Midnight Madness – sketch
• All sorts – Thank You
• Just Magnolia – Anything goes
• Stamp Something – glitter
• C.R.A.F.T. – Thank You
• Cute Card Thursday – Thank You
• Cupcake Craft – Thank You
• Really Reasonable Ribbon – Something New and Ribbon
• Phindy's Place - Thank You

It’s been some time since I have been able to enter some challenges so I am pretty excited to be able to do so. Next week it’s back to no more time off from work so my challenge entries will be few.
OK, so on to my card. Here it is.

I followed the sketch at Midnight Madness. My something new is this adorable Magnolia Tilda with Hanging Heart stamp that I received from my good friend Cindy.  Here is a close up. The sentiment is from the SSD Lacey Squares stamp set. I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Lacey Circles in two colors and weaved ribbon through the top one. 

I used the following Copics:

• Skin – E13, E11, E00, E000, E0000, R22, R21, R20
• Dress – V99, V95, V91
• Heart – R89, R39, B39, B34, B32
• Hair – E99, E97, Y21

I added Ranger Stickles to her wings and also to the edges of the flowers.  I also used McGill Pine punch for my sprigs.

On the inside of the card I did a little extra, I added Tilda Wants a Hug and Magnolia’s Elegant Heart.

And here’s a close up.

The sentiment is from SSD Beaded Ovals Stamps  set .
And finally a pic of the journal area of the card. Sorry, the pic is blurry.
