Into the sunset

Today's card doubles as my Mojo Monday entry and a VSN challenge. Our challenge was to create a card with a sponged background. I immediately thought of Theresa Momber
Theresa is so kind that she provides tutorials on nearly every card she posts. I took 3 of Theresa's tutorials and chose bits and pieces from each to create this card.

Is It Moxie Fab??

Well hello. Today is my first try at a Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge... I've seen and followed these Moxie Fab ideas for a while, but finally decided to bite the bullet and try my shot. This week's trigger is Royal Fun!

As you look at this picture,there is an awful lot to be inspired by. I went for the obvious... LOL

I went with the colors yellow and pink which are intended to showcase the yellow cake and the pink on the icing. I chose to use a criss-cross card to represent the pennants on the cake.

and in a slightly more obvious reference, I stamped a slice of cake on the bottom of the insert.

So what do you think? Is it Moxie Fab worthy?

It's a good day!

Hi there!  It's a good day.  It's spring in Colorado!  With spring comes butterflies... hence the card I'm showing you today.  I made this for a VSN challenge to emboss vellum.  I dry embossed the vellum panel on the side with a butterfly stencil.  I also, heat embossed the vellum layer of the main image butterfly.  I really like the way the butterfly looks like it is about to take off! This is really a fairly CAS card... easy peasy to put together even with the fun techniques!

Ultimate CAS

CAS, CAS, CAS... it does not get much easier than this.   The card is supposed to represent my dream.  Well, I have a lot of dreams, but it would totally be a dream to be in a cabin looking out on this view... dontcha think?

The image is just a sheet of DCWV designer paper.  I stamped the sentiment, attached to the base and voila! This is like a 3 minute card :-)

WHEW!

It's nice to know that Blogger is back up now. I didn't realize how much I needed my fix in the mornings. I had a little more oomph last night so I whipped up another card. This card features Mia, from the Wild Rose Studio line of stamps. I also got this cutie from Paper and Such.

I used some rhinestones on the cupcake. Her dress and bow are paper pieced and the rest of her was colored with Copics. I did use a little distress ink on the yellow panel to darken it just a touch so it would match the DP a little better. Thanks for stopping by!

Wild Rose

Wow, just wow!!! One of my friends has just opened up her very own online stamping store, Paper and Such
. The store carries the cutest new line of stamps from the UK, Wild Rose. I just got my first order today and immediately had to ink up little Toby. Isn't he adorable????

I colored him in with copics. The DP, pearls and ribbon are all from Paper and Such... speaking of ribbon.. I LOVE this pleated ribbon.

If you get a chance stop by and check out Paper and Such.. tell Julie, I sent ya! I'm submitting this for the first Paper and Such challenge as well.. Check them out for a chance to win a GC to the store.

Thanks for visiting.

ARGH Me Matey's - be lookin' for some treasure....

This is a fun little card that I made for my mini VSN Challenge on SCS. I created the sketch.. my first one! It was really fun... I found this treasure chest on digital delights by Louby Loo... I'm kind of starting to "get" this whole digital image thing. I colored the image with Copics. I let my daughter pick out the first color and then went from there! Of course there is bling, because it is a treasure chest after all :)

Thanks for stopping by!
