Glitter Flower

Hello! I hope everyone has been having a good week so far!!

OK so this is one other one that doesn't have a whole lot of notes because I didn't have my notebook but I remember a little more on this one,

1. So first I stamped my little flower image which I believe is one of those $1 stamps from Michels.
2. Then I took my quickie glue pen and traced over where the image was stamped and put some Sparkle N Sprinkle Misty Isles glitter Then I went through and colored in the not glittered parts... I wish I hadn't though... It just looks funny...
3.I cut the background layers using my cuttlebug and spellbinders card creator dies. Then I used the Spellbinders nesties scallop circles and large circles dies to cut out the background for the flower.
4. I sponged/blended some Memento Rosebud Ink onto the circle that the flower was stamped on. After I masked the flower of coarse.

Yellow Flowers

Alright this will be a quick one because it's still one of the ones that is missing notes! (There's only one more after this) But again most of the paper is from DCWV and I believe that image is a digi from Becky Higgins. I also added some yellow flocking to the flower. Here's a closer picture.

Picnic Basket

Hi everybody I'm back! I've had this card sitting around waiting to be published for awhile so I figured I start off with it!

First the suplies list:
Stamp: Picnic Basket The Stamping Boutique
Paper: The Paper Studio
Ink: Copic Markers and Memento Sky Blue Dye Ink
Accessories: White Ribbon and pink metal dots

Did you see what I did there?
I said white ribbon.
There's no white ribbon on that card.  
That's because it was white ribbon but I colored it with my Copic markers to make it pink so it matched. I don't usually think of stuff like that so I was kind of proud of myself. To make the background on the image I used the chisel end of my green Copic Markers for the grass I just layer all 3 grassy colors that I have.
To make the sky I used a sponge dauber and Memento Sky Blue Dye Ink and just brushed it around.

Rose Card

This Card features one of my favorite stamps ever!

I LOVE this rose stamp!! I wish I could remember the stamp set it was from though... it's a set I got at Joann's when I first started stamping a few years ago and I don't have the name of it anymore :( but other then the stamp paper and the card base all the colored paper is from my scrap box and it's hard to see but the pink paper is actually glitter paper!

Here's the challenge for this card:

Purple Flower Challenge Card

I have the opportunity to do something really cool tomorrow but I'll tell you more after I show off my card. 

I have been making so many cards with dark colors lately that I really like the way this lighter colored card looks! All the paper is from my scrap box except for the background which is DCWV. Have a I mentioned how much I love there mat stacks! I embossed the flowers on the bottom pink with my cuttlebug however I don't know the name of the folder because it came with my cuttlebug. The stamps are also from the Sprinkled Expressions set from SU. and 6 different jewels on the card (I know they're hard to see) are all from Want 2 Scrap.
I am entering this card into 2 challenges.

Another Challenge (or 2)

Here's challenges round 2 from me! And this time I'm entering a card in not just 1 challenge but 2!!

But first lets talk about what I did to create this very clean and simple card. 

I started with a scrap piece of the cricut pastel paper pack. When we first bought my mom her cricut we bought her the super long 24in mat and a pack of paper to go with it. But the mat was so big that there was no where in the house that we could put the cricut and have enough room for the big mat to go all the way through. So my mom took the big paper pack and made a bunch of card bases out of it and this is one of the very small non-A2 sizes she made so it actually opens up instead of sideways if that makes any sense at all...But anyway The 3 blue squares are just paper from my scrap box (yay using up scraps!) and the white paper that I stamped on is from office depot it's the store brand card stock.

I used my Cuttlebug all in one bloom and grow folder to emboss the small squares and I stamped the flower with a stamp from the $1 bin at Michaels and colored it with Tombow markers.

  

And now for the challenges I'm entering! 

First up 365 Cards Challenge. The challenge from Tuesday was to use at least 3 squares and to try and have them not overlap! 365 Cards Shape Up Challenge

And next The Emerald Faeries Challenge Blog and A & T Digital Designs Challenge of wet/dry embossing.

Thank You Card

Circle Flower Card

I have been on a card sketch trend recently so most all of my cards are based on sketches from Card Positioning System which you can find on the side of my Blog. This one is not one of my favorite cards that I made but I was trying to use up scraps so it's Ok. The card base is just a pre-bought base it's a six inch card though and I'm quickly discovering that I don't like working with cards that big to much space that I don't know what to do with!! I used my old creative memories circle cutter to cut out the purple sparkly circle which is from you guessed it the DCWV Royal Garden Mat Stack and the paper behind the flower is from the same pack and also what I used on my Sleeping Beauty card. The stamp is a flower from the dollar bin at Michels.

Also, I submitted my blog to be on a blog list at Above Rubies studio. Feel free to vote for me if you like I'm doing. I'll also put the link over to the side.
