VLVMar04

This is for Verve's sketch challenge with a twist: to have a CAS (clean and simple) card with only one embellishment. So... this is what I came up with. I don't know what company the stamp is from, but it was sure fun to color! I used Copics reds and greens. I chose red and green paper to go with the image. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder with flowers on the green main background. I used a white pen to make dots on the Nestabilities scallops. The rose image and background are also Nesties circles. I think the sentiment is from SU, but I'm not sure (my daughter's as is the rose stamp), and I cut it with Nesties oval scallop, and used red chalk to sponge around the edge. My embellishment is a spiral clip. I think this is a really pretty, simple card. Hope you agree!

VLVMar02 pink, red and green

Ok, I'm catching up with Verve's March challenges. This sketch's "twist" was to use pink, red and green. My paper is BasicGrey's Infuse. The foreground paper behind the image is a bit of red/pink. I added red pearls from Kaiser so there was no confusion with the red :). I made the bird a robin - with a red breast. I colored the butterfly red, green and pink. The pot is a shade of Copic red, and the flowers are pink. I used Prisma green and pink flowers. I popped them out on foam squares. The image is cut with Nestabilities Ovals and the sentiment is cut with Nesties long scallop rectangle and attached with a spiral clip. I put a pink gingham ribbon behind the image panel. The image is colored with Copics.

VLVMar01 buttons

Well, I decided it was time to make some more cards! This one was made for Verve's first March challenge with a "twist" of buttons. I used a CB embossing folder on the green base, a tan strip in the middle (matches the brown bunny) and red (to match the red buttons) border around the image. I pierced the scallops and used chalk to sponge around the image. The image and scallop are Nestabilities circles. I colored the image with Copics and used Holly green stickles on the dots on the cup. The image is by My Favorite Things. I wanted to used a brown button, so I put a green ribbon through it and knotted the ribbon. I put a piece of cotton ball on the gray bunny's tail. It looks simple, but it wasn't as simple as it looks! But it was fun.

A Birthday Card VLVMar03

Hi! It's been awhile since I made a card. This one was made for a special friend that I just reconnected with on facebook. Her birthday is this week.

This card was made with Basic Grey's Infuse paper. I used a Tilda stamp by Magnolia. I colored the image with Copics. I stamped the image twice, cut the second image out and put it up on dimintionals. I used Nestabilities Ovals for the images. I also used Basic Grey brads. I put a ribbon behind the image. The sketch is for Verve's VLVMar03 sketch challenge.

I also put the sentiment on dimintionals.

I finished the inside of the card, using a Fiskers corner punch and Nestabilities rectangles.
