Witches in June -- Guest Designing at TTCRD

Hello, and happy Tuesday, everyone!  I have the great pleasure of guest designing today at one of my favorite challenge blogs.  Today, you'll find me at Through The Craft Room Door (TTCRD).

The sponsor today is Nikki Burnette.  I was given the most awesome stamp to color up! This is Esme digital Stamp:

I colored Esme Digital Stamp with Copic markers, then used several Spellbinders dies to cut her out and back the image.  The sentiment, "You say witch like it's a bad thing."  is from Unity Stamp Company.  The designer paper can be found at  Pixel Scrapper.  It's designed by Sheila Reed, and is part of the No Tricks, Just Treats Collection.  The green shimmer trim is from Close To My Heart.

When my husband saw this card, he said, "Wow, that witch is beautiful!  She could make you do most anything!"  

I had a great time crating this card, and I'm grateful to Deonna Bemish and the TTCRD design team for the opportunity to guest design today.  It's been great fun!

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Love You -- Guest Designing at TTCRD

I'm thrilled to be guest designing today at Through The Craftroom Door!  I join in their challenges most weeks, so I was super excited when I was given this opportunity to guest design for them this week! The theme is always Anything Goes!

The sponsor this week at TTCRD Challenge blog is Sami Stamps.

I used the digi stamp, 'A Flower for Me', by Sami Stamps, to create this: 

I colored the 'A Flower for Me' image with Copic markers using X-Press It Blending Card, coloring the dog the same color as my Golden Retriever, Sophie.  The 'Love You' sentiment word bubble is a stamp from Close To My Heart.

I cut out the dotted background on the card base on my Silhouette Cameo, using this file from the Silhouette Design Store.   Designer papers are from Echo Park Bark collection. Card stock is by Close To My Heart.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.  The dog bone brad is from Paper Wishes.  I cut the colored image out with a Spellbinders die. 

I have a couple friends who love all things dog-related. I think this card will be perfect for either one of them.  

Join in at Through The Craft Room Door this week (and every week).  It's great fun!   Thanks to Deonna Bemish and her talented team for this opportunity today.  I've had a great time!
