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 #622 is a THEME CHALLENGE-FOR THE BIRDS.

I started off by creating the background using Scattered Straw and Antique Linen Distress Stain to smoosh onto the background. I then used some stamps and a stencil over the top.

The little bird is from Spellbinders. The leaves are a combination of die cuts from Kat Scrappiness Dies and Alex Siberia.

I used the Sunflower Botanicuts from The Greetery that were already created from my stash. I usually make a bunch of extras when I am die cutting so when I need them for something I have them.

The brown pattern paper is from an old Jillibean Soup paper pad and I used the Spellbinders Argyle Plaid embossing folder for the embossed background.

The sentiment is from The Greetery’s All Occasion Script Sentiments set.

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #620

 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 #620 is a THEME CHALLENGE-FISH.

Once again I used the Altenew stamp and die set Calming Koi for my card. Instead of doing the fish in an orange color, I chose to make them pink.

Once again I used the Tim Holtz, Stampers Anonymous Crackle Stencil to create the water on my card.

I die cut a circle out of the stenciled paper and a piece of polka dot paper for my card front.

I tucked one fish behind the circle and cut the tail off so it looks like it is swimming. I added some vellum foiliage and the second fish slightly overlapping the outer circle.

I stamped the sentiment and then cut it apart so it would fit inside the circle. I adhered it with foam adhesive. My last step was to take some Nuvo Crystal Drops and make some "water" droplets. I LOVE how this card came out!!

A New Challenge Over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge- Challenge #612

Hello Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #612 is a THEME challenge-FOR THE LOVE OF PIGS.

I have to admit that I have a problem. I own TONS of pig stamps. I could have made 20 pig cards. I decided to dig out this stamp set from Hello Bluebird (retired) to create my card.

Below is the Challenge Badge #612 for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #612:

I colored my images in with Copic Markers. I then layered these images over a scrap of pattern paper and a white die cut border that I had in my stash. 

The "Merry" sentiment is from The Greetery. The trio of snowflakes are from another one of my obsessions-snowflakes. I am kind of addicted to them.
