Time for a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges

Hello friends!! 

Today I am popping in with a card that I created for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #563. It is a color challenge for the next two weeks. Create a project with the colors sky blue, pink and red. 

I decided to create a fun birthday card for this week. 

I am going to admit that my sky blue on this card is a bit dark. I could not get it to stencil lightly!!!

For my stamps, I used the My Favorite Things "Birthday Chicks" stamps and dies (retired).

Below is the badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #563.

Looking at the badge, I probably should have used flowers. However, I was in the mood for "fun" and these stamps were what called to me.

I hope you come over and join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

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

Just a Reminder for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #562

 Hello friends!!

Today I am popping in with a remind that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #562. It is all about VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Once again, my image is from our sponsor, The Whimsical Art Witch. Isn't this gnome CUTE? I love the fun hat!!

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #562.

Once again, the colors on the badge were my inspiration.

I used mostly pink Copic Markers on this gnome, covering some areas with sparkle marker and Glossy Accents. The background was created with the Hero Arts Distressed Block Cling and ink.

I had a lot of fun practicing coloring in a beard with this image.

A Couple of Valentine's

Hey friends!! I am just popping in with a couple of Valentine's I created. 

My first cad was inspired by last week's Freshly Made Sketches #571, which I sadly missed the deadline.  However, I will still be entering it into a couple of challenges.

The sketch that inspired me is below:

I used a mixed a bunch of old and new supplies. The "One Kiss Die" is from Couture Creations and a leftover from THIS card. I have used these lips in so many cards and I LOVE them!!

The background paper is "Ink Drop-Rose" from the Craft Consortium and I received it this weekend. I am supposed to be on a buying freeze but it has not been going well. Their is always March, right?

The border is a Spellbinders May 2020 Small die of the month. I NEVER used it and I thought now was the perfect time!! I added a sentiment from Hero Arts "Love Sentiment Strips" stamps and the little tickets are 49 & Market's "Ticket Essentials-Salsa." 

I am entering this card into Papercraft Challenge #90-Anything Goes.

My second card I used the candy kiss die from the January Hero Arts Card Kit. 

I die cut a ton out and adhered them to a red 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece of red cardstock. 

I added a vellum heart that I die cut using Kat Scrappiness' "Hearts of Love" dies. The stamped sentiments are from My Favorite Things "My Galantine" stamp set (retired) and Say it With Stamps "Kiss Me" stamp set.

The SWAK is a die cut that is also from Say it with Stamps "Kiss Me" dies. I LOVE how this card came out and it was so fun to create!! 

I am entering this into this week's Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge -"Love is in the Air."

Well that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!

A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

 Hey friends!! 

I am popping in to say that there is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. For the next two weeks, CIC#562 is all about VALENTINES DAY!!!!

For my card, I used an image from the sponsor for this challenge, The Whimsical Art Witch. 

This image from The Whimsical Art Witch is the Valentines Day Tomte Gnome Hearts. 

I had SO MUCH FUN coloring this image in!! The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #562 badge is below.

I was inspired by the reds and pink in the badge. I used Copic Markers to color him in and the beard was a bit of a challenge. 

The sentiment is from 49 and Market and my background I used my NEW Hero Arts Block Cling stamp to smoosh different inks that matched my colors. 

To give the gnome some sparkle and shine, I used a sparkle pen and Glossy Accents. I cannot wait to send this out for Valentine's Day!!!

There is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #561

Hello Friends!!

I am popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #561!! This challenge is all about POLKA DOTS!!!

Once again, I used an image from our sponsor, Polka Doodles. Once again, I used the Too Cute Turtle.

When I was placing the digital image, I purposely tilted it. I also mirrored it from the original. That is what is so fun about digital images!! Below is the is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for #561.

Once again I used the internet for my turtle's colors. I used a stencil for the polka dots and a Mama Elephant sentiment.

He is kind of unusual but I LOVE how he came out!!!

Hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge to join us for this challenge. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!
