Sweet Faerie

This month at Crafty Gals Corner, the challenge is for the ladies!


I used Spring Faerie from MoonFlower Digital Stamps for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  Love her in these colors!  the border is actually a heart border punch, but I only wanted the bottom of the heart to show.

Flowers for You

This week at Crafty Sentiments, our theme is anything goes.


This stamp is called For You Mum.  I thought it would make a great Mother's Day card, but then realized this post would be after Mother's Day!  This stamp works for so many occasions though.  I use Copic markers to color the stamp.  The background paper has gorgeous rose gold foil accents you can just see at the top of the card and so do the paper straws.

Stop and Smell the Flowers

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is to use your favorite embellishment.


This image is Bertha's Bloomin' Box from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  I wanted to use a backround paper that kind of looks like a wall.  I found this weathered board paper in the Flock Together collection from Gennifer Bursett available digitally on Snap Click Supply.  I thought the colors were so fun and fit this lady's personality.  My favorite embellishments are lace, ribbon, and buttons.  I got two of the three in this card!  The sentiment is a sticker from a Spellbinders card kit of the month.

You have a chance to win two images for playing along.  Click the badge below to go check out all of Bertha's friends on the website.

Beautiful You

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is Friendship.  We want to see your cards celebrating friendship.


For my project this week I used Field Flower Silhouettes from The Artsy Stamper.  The image has a transparent background so you can print it with any background or layer it for even more flowers.  The background I chose is from the Bo Bunny Gabrielle collection available digitally from Snap Click Supply.  The sentiment is also from that set.

You have a chance to win a digital set from the store.  Hop on over and see what other awesome images are available.

Tulips

This week at Crafty Sentiments, we have an Anything Goes challenge for you.


I chose Tulips for my project.  It was colored with Copic markers and cut out using a Die-Namics die from My Favorite Things.  I thought pretty spring colors would work well for this!  The sentiment stamp is from DeNami Design.

Happiness

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is to use buttons. 


I chose my image from the Showers of Tulips set by Jan's Digi Stamps.  What I didn't realize when I chose this image was that it is only available pre-colored.  I was looking forward to coloring all of those gorgeous tulips!  The sentiment is part of the stamp set as well.  I used a banner cut file on my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the layered banner.

Spring/Easter Hugs

This month at Crafty Gals Corner, our challenge is Easter or Spring.


I used Cuddle Buns Gets Squished from Creative Bug on the Loose for my project this week.  The fence is part of the image, so I decided to make a little scene.  I thought both of the background papers looked a lot like eggs after they have been dyed.  Ours always had great variations in the density of the dye.  The paper I used for the sky actually came out of a Bo Bunny pad called Cottontail Collection.  The grass paper came from a One Canoe Two pad that just happened to be laying on my counter.  What a happy coincidence!
