This week I used an image from Laurie Furnell Ink. She generously donated the Autumn Mouse Digital Stamps for the Design Team to use.

For my card, the mouse and the leaves were from the digital stamp set. I colored them in with Copic Markers and then cut each image out.

I covered the A2 card front with pattern paper and layered a panel of paper that I used some Distress Ink to ink blend a sky and some "grass." 

I stamped a small sentiment and adhered the leaves, the mouse and a stamped sunflower to the background.

New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Today is the LAST Cupcake Inspirations Challenge for the year of 2022!! For the next two weeks, it is a theme challenge of "Happy Holidays."

Here is the card I created for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #559.

And we have a sponsor once again!! This time around it is Laurie Furnell Ink. 

She generously donated the image that I used to created my card this week.

I chose to use colored pencils to color in the images on my card this week. I know the coloring is not seamless but I wanted a "sketchy" look for this card. I wanted it to look hand drawn.

I also did not use a sentiment on it and this, again, was a design choice. I LOVE how this came out!!!

I hope that you join us for Cupcake Inspirations #559. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

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

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #556 is ANYTHING GOES!!!

Our sponsor for Challenge #556 is The Paper Shelter. She is donating three digital stamps to a random winner of this challenge!!

I used my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers to color this adorable girl in. I had not painted in a long time and it was SO FUN!!

I layered it over a gray, A2 top folding card that I had stenciled some stripes on.

The sentiment is from PinkFresh Studios.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #543

Hello everyone!! I cannot believe it is May!! 

I am just popping in today with a new card I created for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #543.

This weeks challenge is to create a Mother's Day card or a feminine card. I created a feminine theme card as I don't really make Mother's Day cards since my mother passed away years ago.

We have a sponsor for this challenge! It is Crafty Meraki!!! She has a FABULOUS shop and I hope you hop on over to her store!!

I used a lattice die for my background and added some stamps from the WPlus9 Shop that were colored in with Copic markers.

I am sending this out to a specific friend that I have not seen in ages and that I miss a lot.

Please hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #543 to play with us this week. I always love seeing the creativity of everyone!!!

Time for a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

Happy Monday everyone!! 

I am rested up and back to work after a nice week off. The weather was so nice and we were able to get some things done in the yard.

Today I am popping in with a card that I created for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #542.

This week at Cupcake Inspirations, it was a color challenge. I had to use Lime Green, Yellow and Orchid on my card. This was a challenge as I had to do some color tests to get the shade of pink I wanted.

Week 2 of Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #541-Bunnies

Hello friends!!! Just popping in with a reminder for Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #541. 

It is week two of our challenge and I created another bunny card using Kat Scrappiness Hippity Hoppity Bunnies Stamp set, an MFT Stencil and a sentiment from The Greetery.

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #541:

We are also teaming up with The Double Trouble Challenge. Be sure to link up to both challenges!!

I made my card really simple, once again. I meant to make a scene, actually made a background...and then didn't use it. Instead, I used the new Tim Holtz Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink and Oxide Ink to create my background.

I then used the matching Distress Stain to spray over to top of the pink blend.

I added the little Kat Scrappiness bunny that I had colored in with Copic Markers to the card front using foam adhesive.

My last step was to use a sentiment from The Greetery that was in my stash at the top of the pink and my card was complete!!

I hope that you join us this week at the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

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