The Sugar Bowl #61 Kiki's Sketch

Hi! It's been a crazy time. I've been to Oregon with my mom-in-law, we celebrated her 99th birthday end of May. I am in Florida until the end of June when we are going to go pick her up (she has a caregivier with her) and bring her back to FL mid-July. Then I should be here. I made this card for my husband for Father's Day. The theme of this week's Sugar Bowl was love/weddings. No weddings coming up. But I wanted to express my love to my hubby as the father of our children. I used this adorable image from Sugar Nellie, colored it with Prisma Color Pencils and Gamsol. I cut the image out and popped it out with foam circles. The hearts are also popped out. The paper is from Basic Grey Mellow (wanted a masculine paper). The hearts and flower are also from BG Mellow. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp. The brad is also from BG. Inside the flowers are from Prima flowers, the two rhinestones are Kaiser Craft, and the brads are from my stash. I cut the circles and inside with Nestabilities. The base blue paper is from Stampin' Up. Guess that's it. Thanks for lookin'!

ducky

Isn't this little duck just the cutest? It's from Darcy's stamps (my daughter's collection). I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol, with a shadow outlining. The ribbon is from my stash, the flowers are Prima, the brads are Spare Parts, the cs is SU, and the dp is DCWV. The image is cut with Nesties Label 4. Sweet and simple card.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Whiff of Joy #69 Coffee and Cream color challenge

Whiff of Joy color challenge coffee and cream... well, for thinking brown and gold, this didn't turn out too bad! I used one of my new February images and colored it with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I sponged around the image with chalk and cut around it. The brown and dp is from Basic Grey and the cs is from SU. The flowers are Prima and the brads are Spare Parts. The scalloped circle is cut with Nesties. I popped out the scalloped circle with foam dots and also popped out the image. The flowers are also on foam.

I think that's it. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

SASSC49

I've been wanting to use this paper from Basic Grey's Porcelain. It is so soft and pretty. The pearls are Kaiser, the ribbon Offray. I colored the Stampin'Up image with Copics. I think the sentiment is also SU, but I'm not certain (my daughter's stash again). I used Nestabilities circles to cut out the image and mat and popped it out on foam squares. I used Nesties large labels for the sentiment. The cs is from my stash.

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 :)

For my friend

This little card was made for a friend who lost her brother and father within a week of each other. This little angel is sent to give her comfort and peace during this sad time.

Don't know what the image is. See labels for items used.

Wish Big

This card is also for two challenges: Today's ColorCreate to use Kraft, Blue and White, and the sketch challenge from SCS, SC263. The card stock is DCWV and the dp is from The Paper Patch. The ribbon is Offray, the small pearls are Kaiser, and the gems are generic. I think the sentiment is from SU, it's from my daughter's stash, and I'm not sure about that.

The ovals were cut out with Nestabilities.

VSAPR1 Verve Sketch Challenge for April 1

This is the first of four sketch challenges by Verve for April. I think this image is from Stampin'Up, but I'm not sure (my daughter's stash). I colored the image with Copics, cut it out and matted it with Nestabilities circle and scallop. The cardstock is from my stash. The dp is Dena by Creative Imaginations. The ribbon is Offray and the pearls are by Kaiser Craft.

Friday Sketchers #47

This is for Friday Sketchers sketch challenge #47. The image and sentiment are from SU (StampinUp), I'm pretty sure (my daughter's stash). I cut both out with Nestabilities Circles, Scallops and the image with long rectangle scallops. I used cardstock I had and the dp is Dena Designs by Imaginations. The image is colored with Copics: Y06, YR04, R11,27, RV13, and 000. I used Kaiser white (snow) pearls in the upper right corner, and a ribbon from Michael's: Go With the Grain. I used the swirly paper instead of a stamp or cut-out. I thought it made a really pretty card!

This little card was made for OCC's Saturday color challenge to use Mustard, Bashful Bule and Not Quite Navy. The cardstock for the base of the card is GA Pacific. The "mustard" and "not quite navy" are DCWV. The dp is from Basic Grey's Cupcake. The image is from Stampin'Up. I colored the image with Copics: YR02, R27, Y06, G09 and G85.

Saturday Sketch Challenge #44, SCSLSC213

This simple card was made for Saturday's Sketch Challenge #44 to use dots and circles. I used two Cuttlebug folders: dots and spots and swiss dots. The image is cut with Nestabilities Ovals and also the scallop mat. The flower is a silk flower from Primaflowers. The white and black pearls are Kaiser. The black and white ribbon by Textured Trios finishes the card. The white paper is GA Pacific cardstock and the black is unknown. I believe the image is from Stampin'Up. I sponged around the edge with black chalk (I know, it looks gray :) ).
