Daisies are like Sunshine on the ground


Hello everyone and hope  you're having a great Wednesday so far. Here, we had a heavy snowstorm and we have had up to 10 cm of snow and still falling... I wanted to make a spring-like card to cheer me up. 



Kraftin Kimmie Stamps is having a Krafty Bowl Challenge this week and I really wanted to play. I do hope I can make more than one card... KKS has different challenges for this and I had to choose something new. I just bought this Daisy Mae and I couldn't wait to color it up.

 I colored Daisy Mae with my prisma pencils and baby oil, cut her up with my dies and matted with black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on some vellum paper and I had to use my black marker to highlight the color since it was too mat...

My sketch is from Tuesday Throwdown

Daddy's Little Princess

Happy Monday everyone and even though the temperature did not go up here, I'm glad the sun is out! Makes it less gloomy and makes me want to go out and play hehe. I can't believe it's February already!


Front view
 I colored Rose with my prisma pencils and baby oil. Die cut the picture with my Spellbinder rectangle die and matted with some pink cardstock. Paper comes from an unknown pad and I have cut both base and designer papers with my Cricut.

Side view
 I embossed the sentiment with pink embossing powder and matted it on some pink cardstock. To finish, I added some flowers, pearls from my stash and doodled some straight lines on the borders.

Close up

The inside
 I used the scallop border that was left after I cut the base for the outside of my card and stamped Rose partially. I left the inside blank for now.

My sketch comes from C.C.Designs


Hope you like it!

Whisper

If you are looking for my DT post with the SBC, please check it here.


Hi everyone and it's me again. It's already Sunday and here we are with another challenge from HobbyCutz. The challenge this week is For a lady and our sponsor is Aurora Wings. I chose Wisteria but it took me quite some time to figure out how to color this beautiful image. 

It was colored with prisma pencils and baby oil, fussy cut and mounted with some foam dots. My card base and sentiment are from Michaels. The scallop border was done on some scrap paper with my cricut and the embossed mat was done with the dots embossing folder. I used some adhesived pearls to make it more girly and added some mulberry flowers on a wooden leaf from the Hobbycutz store.





Challenges:

Graph'It Markers - AG w/different colored hair

My first ATC

Hello everyone, it's definitely snowing hard over here and I don't know when we will catch a glimpse of spring... I know, I know it's only a couple months away but really, just when I thought we had enough snow. It had to fall again and poor hubby had to shovel...

On a positive note, it's my DT day for the SBC team and this week, the DT had to make ATC or better yet known as Artist Trading Cards. Let me tell you, I sure did not know how to do one but thanks to my friend Google and DT Sandy's video, I was able to have a quick look and understand what I needed to do.



I went with a simple design since I wanted it to reflect what I liked to do best ie Coloring with my prisma pencils. I chose an old Hampton Art stamp and inked it with my memento black ink. Fussy cut around the stamp and added some dimensionals at the back. Embossed my cardstock and added some twine and a small heart at the bottom. To finish, I glued 3 pieces of cereal boxes cut at the size of the ATC, which is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".

Hope you like it and if you are in need of some more inspiration, please visit us at the Scrapbook Blessings Club.

I am super happy that I am now a DT for the Sunshine Mail challenge. If you don't know what this is about, please visit the Sunshine Mail Foundation and consider donating some of your cards to the children who needs some love sent their way.

We were given some digis to play with and I chose the Honey Digi stamp 1 to color. This week's challenge is Anything with a heart and I went with hearts on my ribbon. All the shapes have been cut with my Cricut and then embossed with my dots folder. 

The image was colored with my prisma pencils and I doodled around the circle border with my black pen. To finish off the card, I added a felt butterfly and a talk tab from Pink Paislee.
