There is Still Time to Join Us for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568

Hey Friends!! I am just popping in with a reminder that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568. It is a theme challenge this time around. It is to create a project for Mother's Day/Someone Special Feminine.

Like last week, I chose to create a card with ME in mind. I decided to do the same for this week. Since I lost my mother, Mother's Day is tough. I used the digital stamp "Gnome with Donut" that was generously donated to us by our sponsor for this challenge, PJ Illustrations.

Isn't this little gnome cute? I colored him in with Copic Markers and added some Glossy Accents randomly around the image when I was done. Hop on over to PJ Illustrations for more adorable digital stamps to use!!

You might be thinking, why do this card in red? While I chose the background papers first and then colored in the gnome!!! All the pattern paper used were scraps that I had in my stash for YEARS!!!

The die cut sentiment and the sentiment strip were from my stash and I apologize for not remember the company where they came from.

Want to play with us this week? Hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog for more information about this challenge and to see other fabulous projects from our Design Team!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for stopping by. Happy Crafting!!!

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.

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!!
