For my card, I used an an image generously donated to the DT by our SPONSOR-Last Minute Manda. 

This is from the Baby Edward digital stamp set. 

Once again I chose to color in this adorable image in yellow and green with Copic Markers. I kept it neutral so I could give this to someone having a boy or a girl. 

I layered it over some scraps of pattern paper and used die cut letters for the sentiment. I LOVE how this came out. It was so fun to color.

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #587 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors RED, PINK and WHITE.

Once again I used a digital image from our sponsor-All Dressed Up Stamps-to create my card. I had so much fun coloring in the adorable girl and her little pets on the "Time to Read" image.

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587:

I printed out my digital image onto white paper. I then used Copic Markers to color it in.

When my coloring was complete, I fussy cut the digital stamp out and used foam adhesive to adhere it over a white card base that I had covered with some scraps of red and pink pattern paper.

I added a sentiment from my stash and topped off the card with some red rhinestones.

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.

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.

Hello Friends!!

I am just popping in with a reminder that there is still time to play with us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #576. This week starts a new round and it is a COLOR CHALLENGE. 

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #576 is all about using the colors TURQUOISE, RED, and YELLOW on a project.

I used digital images from Lucky Birthday Wishes set created by this weeks sponsor, CraftyScrappers.

I combined the digital images of the dog, the birthday hat and the birthday cake in Photoshop for my card. I printed it out on white cardstock and colored the images in with Copic Markers. I then cut the whole image out with scissors.

I used foam adhesive to layer the dog image over an ink blended background and stamped a sentiment using an MFT sentiment stamp at the bottom. I added Glossy Accents over the polka dots in the hat and some Orange Peel Stickles on the candle flame to complete this card.

There is Still Time to Join us for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #572-Sea Life

Hello friends!!

I am just popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges for Challenge #573-SEA LIFE.

For my card, I used one of the sharks from the "Shark Family" digital stamps from this round's sponsor, Pixel Paper Prints.

The badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #573 is below.

My waves were created by using an Altenew embossing folder that I shaded with some Salty Ocean Distress Ink and white acrylic paint and then cutting it out. 

I then pieced the waves together around my shark. The sentiment I designed myself.

This card was SO FUN to create!!! I love digging through my supplies to find things to match with digital stamps.

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.
