A Couple of Cards

Hey Friends!! 

Just popping in with a couple of cards for some challenges!!! I have not been crafting as much as I would have liked as I have been sick.

These two cards I created are very similar. My image is the Tiny Townie Wonderland Playing Card Guard from Stamping Bella. When I saw this image, I HAD to have it. I only got one but want the rest of the set but I am trying not to buy anything new!!

My first card was inspired by the Color Hues Challenge and Freshly Made Sketches #622.

I had a fun time creating the background with a combination of red and pink Distress Sprays.

I colored in my image using Copic Markers. The die cut hearts are from a Mama Elephant die.

My next card I used the Inspired By Challenge IB275. I used the pink and red colors, as well as the sprinkles on the whip cream. 

I splattered pink Oxide Spray and did some hearts with a stencil on background. For some reason, the sprinkles just inspired this.

The sentiment is from the "So Very Lovely" Reverse Confetti sentiment set. I loved this company and miss it!!

Well that is all from me. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #587 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors RED, PINK and WHITE.

My card was created with a digital stamp from our sponsor this round- All Dressed Up Stamps. I chose to use All Dressed Up Stamp's the "A Little Note" digital stamp for this project. 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC587.

I chose to print my stamp in black ink onto a kraft cardstock background. Then I colored it in with both Copic Markers and colored pencils. 

I chose to keep the coloring kind of "rustic" looking because I didn't want to shade in the whole piece of "paper" on the typewriter in white. I kind of took how I wanted to color the image in from there. 

I layered the kraft panel over a card base that was layered with a scrap of pattern paper and some pink and red cardstock scraps. The addition of the red rhinestones were the last step.

Want to join us this round? To see more details about the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587, head on over to the BLOG. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577

Hey Friends!!! 

There is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577. This round is a THEME challenge-BEARS.

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC577.

Once again I used a bear from our sponsor this round, PJ Moore Illustrations. Isn't it so cute?

Once again, I resized the digital stamp and printed it out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. 

I colored it in with Copic Markers and cut it out. I shaded a white, A2 card front and shaded the back in with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then adhered the bear on top. 

I added scraps of pattern paper around the image for some fun detail. I added a sticker label and used stickers as the sentiment. I LOVE how this card came out!!!

A New Cupcake Inspiration Challenge-Challenge #577

 Hello Friends!! 

There is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge this week. Challenge #577 is a THEME challenge and it is all about BEARS!!!!

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577.

I created my card with the image our sponsor, PJ Moore Illustrations donated to us. Isn't this so cute?

I started off this card by resizing and printing the digital stamp. I then colored it in with my Copic markers.

I cut down the white card panel and layered it over some scraps of pattern paper that were in my scrap drawer.

I added a sentiment with stickers. I have so many of these tiny stickers from my scrapbook days and I decided I needed to get them out to use. To finish my card off, I added a tiny die cut heart and covered it with clear shimmer pen and Glossy Accents.

To see all the details for Challenge #577 and more fun projects by the Design Team, hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. I hope you decide to join us for this round!!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568-Mother's Day/Someone Special Feminine

Happy Monday everyone!! 

Today there is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations. For the next two weeks it is all about Mother's Day/Someone Special Feminine. 

We have a sponsor this week-PJ Moore Illustrations!!! She generously donated the digital stamp "Let's Paint Elephant" that I used for this weeks card.  

Okay, you are probably going to ask, where is the Mother's Day? Where is the feminine? I do not have anyone to give a Mother's Day card too and I LOVE blue so I decided to create a card for ME!!! I also loved this little elephant as these are one of my favorite animals. 

Again, this image is from PJ Illustrations.

Below is the badge for this weeks challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges.

I used Copic markers to color my elephant in. I added the blue paint puddle and some drops myself. I should have done it in the computer but the idea did not come to me until later. 

I stamped a sentiment using a Spellbinder's stamp and the die cut border is an old one from MFT.

For more inspiration from the Design Team and information on Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568, hop on over to the blog. I hope you choose to play with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Happy Crafting!!
