Penny Black #114, Basic Grey #26, Sketch Saturday #116

Hi! Saturday is almost over, but I wanted to get this card posted. I made this card for three challenges: Penny Black #114, Feeling Fruity. I don't have any PB stamps with fruit on them, so I colored the frosting strawberry :-); Basic Grey #26 to use pearls. I used red Kaisercraft 1/2 pearls on the corners of the image and also on the little strip on the left side, top and bottom; I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday #116. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol and cut it out with Nesties rectangles scallop and mounted it on the next size up rectangle. I used Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry paper and SU green cs and DCWV red cs. I think that's it. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Hugs, Linda

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'!

Sketch Saturday #88

This card was made for Sketch Saturday #88. The image is from Belles n' Whistles, Elizabeth Bell. I colored her with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. The flowers are from Hobby Lobby, Spare Parts by the Paper Studio. The pearls on the flowers are Kaiser, plum, and the pearls down the right side are Kaiser, hot pink. The cs is mostly DCWV, the darker purple is SU. The dp is from my stash. The sentiment is from SU.

I am in love with all of Elizabeth Bell's creations. She is just an incredible artist!

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Penny Black #84 and Sketch Saturday #86

This card is for two challenges: Penny Black #84 to use blue, cream and gold, and Saturday's Sketch Challenge #86.

You can never go wrong with Hedgie. He is my favorite PB character. I colored with Copics. I'm not sure where the sentiment is from. The papers are SU, the pearls are Kaiser latte... my favorite from them! The dp is BG. A simle card, but I think it's pretty cute :)

One for Four

Basic Grey Paper used: Euphoria and Sultry

This card was made for four challenges for Saturday: Basic Grey #29, Penny Black #43, OCC and Sketch Saturday #45. They all wanted an Easter/spring card. Unfortunately, I don't have many (just one, and it's not a Penny Black) :( . So I improvised. I made the computer-generated sentiment on the inside of the card an Easter sentiment. I like it. Hope you do, too!


Computer-generated phrase reads: Going to see the Risin King! Happy Easter!

Valentine for Husband

Hi, Happy Saturday!

I made this card for three challenges: Penny Black Week 35 - Romance; Basic Gray Challenge 21 - Mix It Up; and Sketch Saturday 37.

I used three different papers from Basic Gray: Wassill, Figgy Pudding and Impulse. The letters are from Figgy Pudding and the brad, upper right corner, is from Bittersweet.

The image is Penny Black. It was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I stamped the image twice and cut out the second image and popped it out on foam squares. I used my Nestabilities round and scallop for the image and base. The base is really hard to see, but it's there :-). I put a ribbon behind the image and tied knots in each end. I put "love you" on the sides. My dh and I have been married for 41 years! So I guess I should put love you, don't you agree? :-)

Thanks for lookin' and have a great weekend! Be safe.
