Belles n' Whistles with A Spoonful of Sugar

This card was made for my bestest friend (my bff) Jill, who lives in Colorado. I just love all of Elisabeth's B&W stamps! I'm gathering a collection :-) .This challenge for B&W was to use shades of purple. I also used A Spoonful of Sugar's sketch #29, Flati's sketch. The dp is BasicGrey, the cs is SU. The image is colored with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. The flowers are Prima. The ribbon is Offray. The rhinestones are KaiserCraft. I stitched the larger pieces together then stitched the two other dps to the cs. I used a purple pencil to shade around the edge of the image cute with Nesties label. The image and flowers are popped out on foam squares.

That's it (I think). Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Penny Black Spring

This little card was made for Penny Black's Saturday challenge Spring. I immediately thought of this stamp. And these papers. I colored this stamps with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and cut it out with Nesties Label 2. I used Offray ribbon behind the image. The CS and dp are all from my stash. The inside of the card is stamped with a Stampendous stamp and cut with Nesties long scallop rectangle. I stitched the card on the outside twice witha zig-zag stitch.

This is my first basket! I used the Whiff of Joy Tutorial and Inspirations blog for this little basket. I think it turned out really cute for my first one! You can find the instructions here:

Basic Grey Week 14

I started this card on Saturday, finished it this morning :) . I made it for BasicGrey's Week 14 color challenge to use Maroon, Lemon and Pink. I think I got it covered :). I used BG's Perhaps Sari-per-740. I roughed the edges with the edge of my sissors and stitched the BG paper to the pink SU cs. The yellow is also SU. The Maroon is from my stash. I used my new corner punch from EK Success to mount the Whipper Snapper image. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. I used Kaiser yellow and dark pink pearls as embellishment. That's about it. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!
