Thinking of You - WCMD #1

Have you made any cards today for World Card Making Day? Do you have a fun event that you are planning on going to? Hope on over to the Sketch N Scrap blog to play along with us!

I made this card using up some of my left over Chelsea Gardens papers, that paper is just so pretty and perfect for Thinking of You cards.

I did something I have never done on this card and put a little bit of fiber on the inside of the card too. I like it and I might try it again.

Here is the sketch for Challenge #1 I hope you can play along with WCMD Card Sketch #1 we would love to see what you come up with.

Happy Happy Birthday

I wanted to share this fun little birthday card I made this past weekend. I used up some of my old retired Close to my Heart favorites and my Copics...ahh...how I love to color!

Thinking of you...

Just building up my card stash again. I like to get card ideas from Catalogs and Idea Books. I have not done that in a while but I keep running across this card from an old CTMH Occassions book and I decided to make my own version. Do you use idea books to get ideas for cards?

I also used my new color pencils on this and did some fussy cutting on the butterfly. Her wings are popped up. I stamped the flower directly on the gray woven paper and I like the way the flower ended up looking textured too.

Lucky Charms - Challenge #4

I hope you have been able to join in our fun over on Facebook for the March Lucky Charms Crop... this is 4th sketch challenge I hope you can play along.

I recently got a new stamp set, I had a blast playing around with it. The whole card just came together so nicely. I decided to make the butterfly look like it could fly of at any time.

I stamped one on the paper and one that I fussy cut. I used crystal effects to glue the center down and bent the wings up. You can also see the shimmer of the ribbon that match the pearls. I also used some Wnk of Stella to make the butterfly shimmer as well. 

 

Here is a close up of the shimmery butterfly.

I always like to finish the insides of my cards too.
