Spotlight Flowers

I made this card last month at Dragonflies and Dreams. I really like how the flowers are popped up and bordered by the black... it makes their subtle colors even prettier and more delicate looking.

I LOVE this card!  

The stamp is Stampendous - Dandie Trio - from Hobby Lobby :)

THe ink for the flowers is Versacolor pigment ink in Raspberry

the only coloring I did was filling in the details of the stamp with Stardust Stickles

I *think* the punches for the Happy Birthday are from Stampin' Up

No clue where the paper is from.

The photo isn't as vibrant as the card is in real life - it's a really rich raspberry.

Is it spring yet?

Tombow Markers and Icicle Stickles.

CBC 38 - Clip Belli Challenge

Over on Chrissy's blog she hosts a weekly challenge that I was able to participate in this week.

This Weeks Belli Challenge is to use CLIPS...You can Paper Clips, Mini Library Clips, hodgepodge clips, etc. Create ANY kind of project using a clip you have!

I happen to have a whole slew of these little clothespin clips that have been waiting to be used, so I came up with this:

The stamp is from Firecracker Designs.  The patterned background paper is a scrap from The Angel Company and the card stock is from Archivers.

Go Bananas #9

Well - I have had a terrible time getting myself to get the Go Bananas challenge up this week.  I was thrown off by the short week and wasn't able to create a single thing the whole weekend :(

Then I had a horrible headache brought on by the weather, but I went to my craft room and took the challenge anyway!

I don't know that I actually like my card - chalk it up to the headache or whatever, but I'm not sure the leafy vellum works with the cuttlebug embossed paper.  I colored the scarecrow with my aquacolor crayons and a water pen, and I did a little hand doodling around the oval.  Not sure I like that either.

Thanks to my design team - Karyn Campbell and Laura Murphy Ogden - for their great samples!

Happy New Year and stuff

So I missed posting at Christmas (all of December, actually!), I missed New Year, and January is over in 2 days!

Where does the time go?

I sat down to craft last night for the first time in ages.  I went over to my neighbor's house and made some sympathy cards and a few valentines cards.

This is the Valentine card that I made for her to keep :)

I used her stamp set from SU called Nature's Wonders and I colored it in with the watercolor crayons in pinks and greens.

I just loved how soft the colors were even tho they are bright.
