Unicorn dreams on International card making day

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am posting a card I made on International card making day.

I used the sketch from Freshly made sketch #706.

The image and border on top and bottom are from Hunkydory. The background paper is Michael's recollections paper.

I managed a few more cards since I sat in my craft space and played all day. It was glorious. I had so much fun. I will post the others soon. I hope you got to spend some extra time in your cardmaking space on Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Color Hues Challenge #118

 Hi everyone, 

Today I made a card for the Color Hues challenge #118. The colors for this challenge are smokey blue and sage green. I used the smokey blue for the sky and the sage green as the tree on this Find it Trading die set. The die comes with a dog, but it was too big. I chose a wood bunny instead to keep it natural. I embossed the background paper for a little more interest. 

I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Rainbow paws

Hello everyone,

I made this card today thinking of a friend that lost her pup to old age. As a pet parent of an aging dog, I dread that day. I made it using the Freshly Made Sketch #704. I embossed the clouds in the background, and then cut the paw die in rainbow colors. I was thinking of the paws walking to heaven. The sentiment is an old Stampendous stamp from a dog set. 

I hope you like the card and thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Color Hues challenge #117

Hello everyone, 

Today's card was made for the Color Hues challenge # 117 - Green and Orange.  I bought these great butterflies from the Dollarama a few months ago and I knew they would work for this challenge perfectly.  My struggle was actually incorporating the green. I looked around my room and found this great floral die from Sizzix. I felt like jazzing it up a bit and so I used the white paper from Sizzix Oppulent that has a sparkle effect (although you can't see it in the picture).

I am now working on a birthday card for a neighbor.  I hope you all have a fabulous day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Pink & Grey challenge garden

 Hi everyone, 

This is my second entry into the Color Hues Challenge blog #115. For this card, I colored the flowers and birds with alcohol markers. The die is also from Scrapbooking Made simple.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Pink & Grey challenge baby

 Hi everyone, 

With the weather being quite toasty in our region, we have been staying inside a lot more these days.  I was delighted to see the challenge colors for the Color Hues Challenge #115. I love this color combo. I was able to get two cards completed this time, and I had more brewing in my head but I didn't get them finished.  The first one is a very simple baby card for a Dad. I used a die from Scrapbooking made simple with a light pink striped paper. I hand colored the image in a dark grey with a Spectrum Noir alcohol marker.

For my second entry, I also used a Scrapbooking Made simple die of a garden scene.  I colored the flowers with alcohol markers, and added some grey shades to the birds.

I hope you like the card. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

To my hero

 Hello everyone,

We are having a beautiful summer weekend here on the West coast, but I chose to be in my craft room for the evening yesterday. I do have a few projects I am working on, but when I saw the new challenge at TGIF #535, I knew I had to pull out my new Trinity Stamp and die set! 

I never thought I would have a use for the Superman image, but here we are. I can't wait to use this set more. It comes with a witch and ghost for Halloween, Santa for Christmas, and a fairy for fun!

I saved the sentiment for the inside. I hope everyone has a great day. Thanks for stopping by.
