My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #425


Happy Monday!  I'm joining the current sketch challenge at My Favorite Things with their adorable Friends at First Sip set by Birdie Brown.  This is an absolutely adorable set and perfect for any coffee lover!

I started by stamping the image onto Copic marker paper and coloring with Copic Markers.  The bag was paper pieced with coordinating designer paper from Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar paper pad.   

The card based was spritzed with Dandelion Fireworks glitter spray.  Designer papers from Doodlebug were used for the panels.  A coordinating sentiment and enamel dots finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek at my happy card!  I'm sharing my project with the following:

Art Impressions Challenge #250 - House or Cottage


I'm joining the current House or Cottage challenge at Art Impressions with this water color card featuring Lakehouse Try Folds.  

I created a little lakeside scene by stamping two of the images from the set onto water color paper.  The images were colored with Tombow markers and blended.  A little distress ink was added for the lake.  The coordinating sentiment was added and a fussy cut fish from Reel Great Guys was colored with Copic markers.  The card was finished with enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by for a quick peek!  I'm sharing my card with the following:

My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #424


I needed a Get Well card for a family member who has been in the hospital.  While we were on vacation, I was able to color a few images including this sweet Birdie Brown image from Rain or Shine.

The designer paper is from American Crafters.  I picked it up on sale at JoAnn Fabric yesterday.  It immediately inspired this card.  All of the stamped images were colored with Copic Markers.  A couple of sequins were added to finish the card.

As always, thanks for taking a peek.  The current MFT sketch challenge was the perfect inspiration to finish this card.  Now, to get a sentiment inside with a note then mailed on Tuesday!

YNS Fun Friday Challenge #107 - Die Cuts

Good morning!  I have been away from the craft room for a couple of weeks enjoying a sunny break from Alaska's winter.  My crafty mojo has also enjoyed a little break and I'm back to join the current challenge at Your Next Stamp!

This week's challenge is to include die cuts on our projects.  I was a recent challenge winner and used my prize money to purchase their adorable Retro TV die.   I cut the die in both black and silver card stock an layered them then included a birthday sentiment from Keepin' It Reel for the shaker.
The retro design paper is from Authentique's Dapper paper bundle.  I also used YNS gumdrops for the TV knobs.  The base card stock is Real Red from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by for a quick look!  I always enjoy hearing your feedback.  Oh, and be sure to check out the current YNS challenge and join the fun!
