Spring Picnic

I created this cute card for the Roses on Paper/Belles 'n Whistles challenge here http://ropchallenge.blogspot.com/ to use punches.

I used my MS eyelet corner punch. This image that I just got from Belles 'n Whistles is large enough that I didn't do much else to it besides color it with my Prismsacolor pencils and Gamsol. I did layer it a little. It was really fun to color!

I saw this image as an Elisabeth Bell sketch and was wishing it was a stamp. Then I looked at the BnW stamps, and there it was! So, of course I ordered it! Love it.

That's it. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Anniversary Card

I made this card for my daughter and her husband's 10th anniversary coming up April 2nd. I've had this Verve image awhile (it's hers), and I knew I wanted to use it for this card. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, and raised it up on diminsionals. I used Kaisercraft pearls over the image pearls around her neck. Isn't that a cute look! I cut the image out with Nesties Ovals. I used a MS corner punch on the corners of the BasicGrey dp. The cs is Stampin'Up. The ribbon is Offray, and the larger pearls are Kaisercraft. I used the green cs inside the card and punched the corners of it as well. Don't have a message/sentiment inside yet, as Kerri looks at my blog.

This card fits Cute Card Thursday's Theme Happy Anniversary (#104) and the sketch follows Sketch and  Stash #31.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'. Think my daughter and husband will like the card?

Penny Black #89 and Sketch Saturday 91

This card was made for two challenges: Penny Black and Sketch Saturday. Penny Black challenge was to use Pink, Green, and Yellow. I used this cute image from PB's Critter Party. The sentiment is from SU. I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The tiny flowers are from where I punched the corners of the yellow mat and the pink cs with my MS corner punch. The dp is from my stash, as is the ribbon. The yellow pearls are from Kaisercraft. I sponged the sentiment with chalk after cutting it with Nesties rectangle.

That's it. Simple and sweet. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

The SugarBowl A Recipe

Good Wednesday morning, All. (Peeps, as my friend Sue says :)

I made this card for the Sugar Bowl. It's the first time I've entered it. I need to get some more stamps to play more often! This was a sketch challenge and a recipe: to use 3 flowers (check), 2 brads (check), and 1 button (check). I also incorporated a ribbon as part of the sketch. I colored this sweet image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The flowers are Prima and Spare Parts. The brads are also Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. The ribbon is from my stash. The paper also. I used burgundy for the dark, and pink and yellow. I like this combo. I think it made a pretty card. I cut the image out and popped it out from the card. I used a MS corner punch on the pink (it's part of the sketch). That's it. Thanks for lookin'!
