Sweet Nothings Stamp Company Challenge

Sophie is an adorable digital image that was created by Sweet Nothings Stamp Company. They recently offered an adorable free Sophie digital image which I was lucky enough to get. I enjoyed completing their challenge using the image that I received. It was a neutral color theme challenge. I used all browns and only a hint of pink on her shirt and the heart of her purse. I colored Sophie using my Copic and Flex Letraset markers. My card base is the 5 X 5 Recollections corrugated cardboard. I used the Basic Grey Naturals patterned paper pack for this card. I used some amazing fun furry trim on the bottom of the card that I got from SaCrafters on zibbets. I used some pleated brown organza trim along the edge of the Sophie image. I made an organza flower and put a pearl ribbon slider in the center of it. I added a sentiment from the Sweet & Sassy Cocoa Mouse Treats stamp set. Thanks for looking.

Challenge Card

I found a very fun challenge blog called "Use It Tuesday". They are having a birthday celebration going on and you can find them here. I also love completing challenges for Simon Says Stamps which is located here and their challenge for the week is "Anything Goes". So I decided to quit hoarding the paper stack from My Mind's Eye that is their Kraft Funday collection. I used the "Happy Days" and "Everyday Fun" patterned papers for the background of this card. I found this wonderful digital image from here. It was created by Fred She Said. I colored this adorable little boy with my Copic markers. The cardstock is from Papertrey Ink. I inked the edge of the digital image with my Festive Berries distress ink. I also decided to add a Basic Grey stitched brad that I had been hoarding. I did the sentiment on my computer using Word Art in my Word program. Thanks for looking.

Card challenge

There is a fun card sketch challenge on the My Minds Eye blog here. I really liked this sketch I chose to use the My Minds Eye "love me" patterned paper for my two circles. The image is a digital image that I received from here because I am participating in the Progressive Challenge. The craft tag behind the image is from Paper Accents. I used a Basic Grey stitched brad in the corner of the image that I colored with my Copic markers. I used my MS sweethearts and Heart Lattice border punches to make some fun lacey borders to place across the card. I used an aryclic flower that I purchased from papermart.com. This was a very fun sketch to follow. Thanks for looking.

Holiday card

My husband always gives his secretary something for the holidays. She loves my handmade cards and so I always try to find one that is a little different than the standard folded card to make for her. It is getting more difficult to find interesting folded cards that are easy to make. I found this side step card on Splitcoast stampers so I decided to give it a try. I used the Basic Grey Indie bloom collection that I won in a giveaway recently and some gorgeous flower trim that I had been hoarding. The sentiment is from the Nov. SP & Company kit.
