AAA Cards Challenge #311 - "E"

 The new challenge at AAA Cards is to use an element starting with the letter E.

I had to think about this one a bit, trying to find something a little different to use as the "E" word.  Here's my card, with "E is for Eyeballs", lol!

The image and sentiment is from Pink & Main, and the star splatter stamp is from Your Next Stamp.  The image was colored with Olo markers and just a bit of clear shimmer pen.  One Halloween card for this year is finished!

Jingle Belles Holiday Whimsy challenge

 The current challenge at Jingle Belles is to be a little whimsical with your holiday project.  I used a Penny Black stamp for this card.

I love all the animals decorating their tree, even if they have to stand on gifts or each other to reach it!

The image was colored with Olo markers and then I did a little ink blending around the scene.

Freshly Made Sketches #729

 Here is the current sketch for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

Here's my card from the sketch.  I used Lawn Fawn Stamps and Gina K oval dies.

I need just a few more Easter cards, but at least this is a start!

Addicted to CAS challenge #304 - stripes

 The new challenge at Addicted to CAS is all about using stripes on your project.

I trimmed down some 6x6 striped paper for the background on my card.  The images are from Mama Elephant, colored with Olo markers.  I added some shimmer pen to the dandelion fluffs and lightly stenciled some clouds in the background.  A cute little sentiment that could be used for a birthday or other special occasion.   

Addicted to Stamps & More - Challenge 513 - Birthdays

 The current challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More is all about birthdays.

I used an oldie but goodie stamp set from My Favorite Things for this card.

After stamping the image and sentiments, I added a touch of clear shimmer pen to the candle flames and a few multi colored sequins and shimmer pen dots to the top of the card.

March Theme Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown

 The March Theme Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is to include candy cane(s) on your project.

Here's my card, using a stamp and stencil set from Pink & Main, with a sentiment from Concord & 9th.

We're only nine month away from Christmas - not too early to be working on Christmas cards!

CAS on Friday - Challenge #330 - Spring

 Challenge #330 at CAS on Friday is all about Spring!  Spring was a long time coming here in the Midwest, and right now we're just being teased with a few warm days before it gets cold again.  Hoping this tulip bouquet will give Mother Nature a little push to Spring!

The tulip bouquet is a layering stamp set from the Greetery and I added a bow die from Spellbinders.  Nice bright Spring colors on this one!
