Hi Friend!


Hi all. I have struggled to get this card done. Life just keeps getting in the way sometimes. I used a Kenny G stamp called Brooklyn Babe. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers in pinks and greens. The cardstock is Stampin Up and the DP is Basic Grey's Eva. I used two different embossing folders. The flowers are from Martha Stewart Crafts and the buttons are Basic Grey. The sentiment is a stamp from A Muse Art Stamps and it is punched out with Stampin Up punches.

Dreamcatcher


How's everyone this evening. It has been busy here. I had a tree service trimming the trees and landscapers coming by to measure the yard to put in a sprinkler system. But, I still found a little time this afternoon to make this beautiful card.

It is the dreamcatcher girl from Sugar Nellies. She is colored with Copic markers and Copic Spica markers. Her dress is paper pieced with some of the DP in the background. The cardstock is from Stampin Up and the DP is Enchanted by Dear Lizzy. I cut out the doily with my Cricut using the Storybook cartridge. I have sprinkled Crystal Stickles on her wings and Stardust Stickles on the dreamcatcher. The pearls and gem swirls are from Recollections.

I will be entering her in these challenges:

I used some of the DP to make the flower and the button is tied with Honeydew and White bakers twine.

Spring Flowers


The last few cards I did were pastel colors, so I thought it was time for a bright one. This is Flower Lili from Inky Impressions. It has been a long time since I inked her up but, I thought she was just right for this card. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers and cut out with a Spellbinder die cut. The cardstock is Bazzill and the DP is Paisley Road by Prima as are the flowers. Wow, matching flowers and paper. I used a punch by Martha Stewart Crafts and the sentiment is punched with Stampin Up punches. I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the pink DP. The buttons are Basic Grey and the ribbon and rhinestones are from my stash.

For Someone Special



Thanks everyone for all the really nice comments that you have been leaving me here on my blog. You guys are really nice and I greatly appreciate it.

Today I did a Mother's Day card using another cute image from Sassy Cheryl's. She is so cute. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers. The cardstock is all from my scrap stash. I have no DP, but I made my own. I stamped the pink cardstock with a Stampin Up stamp from the Easter Blossoms stamp set. And it was stamped with a Stampin Up ink color called Pretty In Pink. I used a couple of Spellbinder die cuts and four different punches. All punches were from Stampin Up except the lattice punch which is EK Success. The crocheted flower is from Recollections. The button is Basic Grey and it is tied with pink and white bakers twine. I used the Cuddlebug Paisley embossing folder on the corner. And the pearls are by Martha Stewart Crafts.

I will be entering this card in these challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenge - #135 - Flowers for Mum
