7 Kids College Fund Challenge - The Color Purple

Today at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge, our challenge is The Color Purple. 

Stamp: Lying Tilda  

Paper: K&Co, DCWV Metallic Cardstock

Ink: Memento, Copics 

Accessories: Flowers,  Nellie Snellen Flower Branch #2,

Cricut  Ornamental Iron

 6x6 Crystal Clear Envelopes, 6x6 White Wove Envelopes .

I cut off the bottom half of Tilda. I like that it looks like she is crawling out of the frame rather than lying down.

I used several metallic objects on the card including foil on the background paper, metallic cardstock cut out with the Cricut Ornamental Iron cartridge, and this metal frame.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cute Card Thursday - Easter

Happy Thursday!

Our challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday is Easter! Our wonderful sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps. 

I took some poetic license with the Easter challenge and opted for Easter colors included in this manly card...

Stamps:  Gus Fishing (Bugaboo)

Paper: K&Co

Ink: Copics

Accessories:  Brads

My hubby and my father-in-law are avid fishermen. I loved this stamp of Gus Fishing because it reminds me of them.

I changed "beer" to "tea" because this is not a beer group.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
