Mojo80 sketch challenge

This card is for Mojo Monday's sketch challenge, #80. The base of the card is GA Pacific cardstock; the dp is from Basic Grey: Sultry and Urban Prairie. The image is from my daughter's stash (I think it may be Stampendous); I used Kaiser pink rhinestones along the left edge and in the center of the Prima flower. The ribbon is from Home and More (Michael's). I used my circle Nestabilities to emboss around the "circle" and DCWV pink cardstock behind it. The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.

CCEE Easter themed Card

This is for CCEE's challenge to make an Easter themed card. I found this little House Mouse in the clearance bin at Hobby Lobby and picked it up, along with the sentiment from Stampendous. The colored cardstock that is the main background is unknown, but the cardstock for the base of the card is DCWV, as is the pink behind the image. I'm not sure about the dp around the image. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The buttons are Basic Grey - Sultry, and the ribbon is Basic Basic. I distressed around the pink of the background cardstock.

MFTWT28 Who's That Girl?

For this challenge, we were to use two different punches on the project. I used a Fiskers corner punch and a border punch on the awning. I added hats to the girls from Stampendous. I cut out dp for the dresses and glued them on. The rest of the image is colored with Copics. I used DCWV cardstock for the main background. Not sure of the dp.

Some time I want to use real fabric for their dresses. I think that would make a really cute card! Wish I was that thin!!!

Little ducks

These are some pictures of the baby ducks that hatched on the pond behind our house. So many of the communities in Jacksonville have retention ponds. Ours is a good size, with lots of waterfowl on it, fish, turtles (of all sizes... and they eat the baby ducks) :( But 7 of the 13 have survived. One had a hurt foot, and our next door neighbors caught it and put it in a cage for a couple days. I went over and held it yesterday for a few minutes. It is now back with it's siblings. When they get scared on the water, they move so fast, it looks like they are walking on the water! They are so cute. I think these 7 now have a good chance of survival to adulthood. I wish some more would hatch! They are so fun to watch.

Just wanted to share. :)

High Hopes Challenge #24

This card is for High Hopes Challenge #24. I don't have any High Hopes stamps, so I used this cute image. I'll be back with the company...In Style Stamps. The challenge was to create borders. I used a Fiskers border punch, punching a single punch on each side of the card. I ran it through Cuttlebug's swiss dots embossing folder. I ran a ribbon (I've been wanting to use this ribbon... isn't it just gorgeous!) by BasicBasic from top to bottom, attached a bow at the bottom. I used the flowers from the cut out on the borders on each corner of the image. The image and mat are cut with Nestabilities regular rectangles and scallops. The image is colored with Copics: Y02, Y06 and Y11; BG10, 11, & 13, R11, YR02, E33, E35, C3 and C5, and G21. The card base is GA Pacific and the lilac and blue are DCWV.
