Happy Birthday Card

I needed a birthday card and decided to use the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. Here is the sketch this week:

Here is my card:

I used the Papertrey Ink Sign Language set for the sentiment.

I decided to play with the iTop tonight and make these happy birthday brads for this card. I used a stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps called You're So Sweet. These little stamps fit the medium sized iTop brads perfectly!

I finished off with a bow and some hemp cord.

Red and Green

Lots of fun challenges out there this week. I just got the new Pink Petticoat Ice Christmas set and decided to use it for the following challenges:

Cupcake Crafts: Red and Green
365 Cards Day 275: Red and Green
The Pink Elephant: Color using you favorite medium
Card Patterns: Sketch 43

Here is my card:

Ok - I had a bright idea to sew a ruffle around this image. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped, but I just didn't feel like doing it over. All of the patterned papers are from Pink Petticoat Fairy Lights set.

My favorite way to color my images is with my computer. I use all different settings - sometimes the airbrush setting, sometimes the paintbrush.

I added some hemp cord at the bottom with some glass beads for a little sparkle.

Thanks for Looking!

Old Country Christmas

Moxie Fab World is having an Old Country Christmas challenge. I decided to try to make a winter scene looking out of a window. Since I used so many different Cricut cuts for this card, I am also entering it into the Just Buggin Challenge #12.


The frame and the trees in the background are from the Cricut Camp Out cartridge. I thought the frame looked kind of like an old window, and I inked all over to give it a more aged appearance. I welded the trees to the shadow frame in the back. On the blue background, I stamped some snowflakes and heat embossed with some glittery embossing powder. I also added Frosted Lace Stickles to the trees and branch to look like snow.

The raised branch and the cardinal are from the Winter Woodland cartridge. and I welded the shadow branch to the raised frame. The picture above shows the dimension.


The sign at the bottom is from the Camp Out cartridge and the holly leaves and berries are from Winter Woodland. The sentiment stamps are Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for Looking!

It's a Girl!

A co-worker asked me to make a baby girl card this weekend. Whenever someone asks me to make a specific card, I always need to look around blog land for all of the challenges out there to get some inspiration. So I found a couple of challenges perfect for this card:


Challenges:
Pink Elephant: Sketch
Cupcake Crafts: Digital images

My favorite digital images are Pink Petticoat. This image is from the Pink Petticoat Sweet Cheeks set. I colored it on my computer.

The person who requested the card also requested some ruffles, so I added a ruffle in the middle.


Thanks for Looking!
