Happy Birthday 10th CraftyScrappers!

 Hello friends!!

I am just popping in today with a card I created in celebration of CraftyScrappers 10th Birthday. I am on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Design Team and this shop has generously sponsored many of our challenges. Below is the card that I made for this milestone.

I used the CraftyScrappers Limited Addition Birthday Stamp for my project. 

This stamp will be the prize for this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge that starts tomorrow. 

To create my card, I printed the stamp out on kraft cardstock. I didn't print it out in solid black but I lightened it up because I wanted to do a combination of Copic coloring and colored pencils.

I love the tooth that kraft cardstock has over just coloring on smooth, white paper. Copics soak in so you have to have a light touch but they do blend together!!! I used colored pencil in a heavy handed way over some areas and just highlighted in others.

I love the little "fur" strokes that the pencil creates over Copics!!!

Well that is all from me today. To see more creations, hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog Post. The other DT member were so clever in how they used this digital design!!

That is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by!!!

There is still time to play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #553-SAFARI ANIMALS

Hello friends!!

Just popping into remind you that there is still time to play with this fortnights Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #553. It is a THEME challenge this time around. It is all about making a creation with SAFARI ANIMALS.


Below is the badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #553 (CIC553).


This week I used four images and a sentiment from the Peek-A-Boo Digital Stamp set that was generously donated by our sponsor www.craftyscrappers.in

Once again, all the adorable animals were colored in with Copic Markers. I then die cut the panel with dies from Avery Elle.

I  mounted it over an A2 top folding card front that was stenciled with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. The addition of the orange twine bow was a last minute element that I think the card needed.


That is all from me today. I hope that you will come on over and join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge with a creation of your own!!!


I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS Monday!!

New Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #553-Safari Animals

 Hey Friends!! I hope everyone is doing well. 

I am exhausted today. I have been getting up M-F at 4:00 am to go to the gym before work. I have been doing it for THREE WEEKS so far and feel so energized when I am there. However, the downside is that by Friday night, I am so tired that I usually go to bed early and don't want to do anything on the weekends!!! I am hoping that as my body becomes more used to it that I adjust.

Now for why I am really here!!! Today there is a NEW challenge up at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. It is a THEME challenge of Safari Animals!! 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC553:

My adorable giraffe is an image that has been generously donated by our sponsor this week www.craftyscrappers.in

The giraffe and sentiment is part of the Peek-A-Boo set of adorable Safari Animals.


I used a stencil with Mustard Seed Distress Ink for the background and colored in the image with Copic Markers. I thought matting the image with pattern papers would give it a bit more emphasis. The pearls are from Kat Scrappiness Inc.


That is all from me today. I hope that you will come on over and join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge with a creation of your own!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS Monday!!
