Here's my project today:

I used a freebie digi from The Alley Way Stamps.  I popped him up onto a card that I embossed with a cuttlebug folder.  paper is from my scraps.  Simply added some retired SU red ribbon, a banner sentiment, and a red rhinestone.  Easy peasy.

Colorful Paintbrush Card

Just wanted to use some The Alley Way Stamps that I haven't used before. I made this quick and easy colorful paintbrush card!

Paintbrush and sentiment digis by TAWS.  Colored the paintbrush with Copics.  Added some splotches with SU's Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  Inks, paper, cardstock, and candy dots are all SU.  Baker's twine is from my stash.
