Splicoast Stampers Sketch Challenge #236

This card is for my best friend Jackie. It was her birthday on the weekend and unfortunately I missed it because I was camping with my husband and Cyrus the Wonder Dog. Tomorrow I am going to visit her and take her out to lunch. Can't wait!

The dots were an afterthought...I usually don't dot things but I thought I would try something new. I used a soft gray marker to make the dots...not sure if I like them? The sketch is from SCS Sketch Challenge #236, it seemed like such a fun sketch I had to try it out! I also have it in the SCS gallery!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampendous Butterflies (acrylic), Hero Arts Script Stamp, Penny Black Sentiment, Baroque Motifs (SU!)

Paper: Black, White, Rose Red

Ink: Black, Going Grey

Embellishments: Black Satin Ribbon

Let Lounging Penguins Lie....

This card was inspired by this week's CPS Sketch Challenge. This card is also for the CAS#22 at Splitcoast Stampers which was to make a CAS Birthday Card. I tilted the sketch a bit (I hope that is ok :) )

I used my summer penguin set (again!!) from Impression Obsession. I coloured my lounging penguin with my Copics and added some bling in the form of a little metal spiral, some ginham ribbon to add the line across the image in the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!

2Sketches4You-Sketch #30 (Bonus Sketch)

A couple of gal pals and I got together today and made some cards. We used the "2 Sketches 4 You" bonus sketch and created some thank you cards.

We used a moss cardstock for the base, layered it with black and then used pink. The pink panel is embossed with Swiss Dots through the Cuttlebug and the white background is embossed with French Script. The image is from a SU! set. It is coloured with copics.

Thanks for stopping by!

i{heart}2Stamp (SFYTT #21)

As soon as I saw the i(heart)2stamp sketch layout, I thought of cupcakes in the little circles area but then the Pink Cat Sweet Treats set came out and all of a sudden I was trumping cupcakes with a sundae! LOL!!! I added some stickles to the whipped cream part of the sundae. Coloured it with copics. There are LOTS of layers on this card....including a ribbon layer in the middle. The back panel is stamped with a sentiment from a older Hero Arts set. The main sentiment is also from that set. I just love it and found it in a sale bin for $2.50! I thought it was $10 and took it up to pay for it and it scanned at $2.50!!! Yippee!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are enjoying your day!

Colour Throwdown #49 (Chocolate, Guava and Soft Sky)

When I saw the colours for this week's Colour Throwdown, I knew I wanted the card to be clean and simple. I used my Fresh Cuts Set from SU! Have not used that one in a while!! I stamped the centre panel in Chocolate and then inked the little flower in Guava. I cut out the little flower and popped them up on dimensionals. The sentiment is from Garden Greetings. I used the soft sky in the back panel.

Thanks for stopping by!

SCS (Sketch Challenge #235)-You Make Me Smile

This card is for the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge. I decided to use squares and followed this awesome sketch created by Roxie. I have wanted to use this little Stampendous Monkey for a while. I think he is the most adorable little guy!! My card measures 5x5" and I layered it with chocolate and white and a Kraft type paper.

I punched out the squares with my 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" square punches. Then I stamped the monkey in Chocolate on the small squares. The middles square is on white paper and I coloured that monkey with my Copics. The middle square is also raised on a dimensional.

Thanks for stopping by!!
Happy Canada Day!!

Mojo Monday- Sketch Challenge #93

This card was made for the Mojo Sketch Challenge. Unfortunately my C Plate on my Cuttlebug broke in half a few weeks ago and I have been unable to use my nesties. So no scallop edges for me!! I did try to follow the sketch as closely as possible. The paper is Daisy Bucket, I used the Best Yet set from SU!, the Classic Labels Set from SU! and the Peony Panel by Stampendous. The ribbon is from Walmart...it is a silver, shiny ribbon. One of my favs!!

I highlighted/coloured the Peonies with my W00 Copic (Warm Grey).

Thanks for stopping by! Smiles...Lesley :)
