CP Sketch #21 and The Pink Elephant #21

Card Patterns has got an 'ausome' sketch this week!! Here's the sketch:

Told ya! Also, The Pink Elephants Challenge #21 is "Your Favorite Color Combo". So, I used some yummy papers that I recently won in some blog candy. Evidently this blue and green combo is now my fav :) I cut the scallops with the Cricut using Plantin Schoolbook. Then I added some embossing to it with the Cuttlebug. The image and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat. I printed it twice and cut out part of it from the second copy. I colored the image with Sharpies, added some stickles to the cupcake and some Glossy Accents to the cherry. Then I pop dotted the cupcake and cherry to add some dimension. I added some yummy ribbon and some cute little flowers from Flora Doodles. So, this one is for a friend's daughter for her birthday. Hope she likes it. Thanks for stopping by today!

CP Sketch #15

A great sketch is on tap this week at Card Patterns. I just bought some new Pink Petticoat images, so I wanted to use one today. This image is from the "In my Garden" designs and I just love these little birds! My paper today is by Sassafrass and American Crafts. The little flower is also Sassafrass. The ribbon is from my stash. I colored this image with my Sharpies and then I glittered the little birds with some of that fantastic Martha Stewart irridescent white glitter. I also chalked around the edges. Go check out Card Patterns this week as the DT has given us some 'ausome' inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!

Day 76, Four Corners

I'm catching up on Friday's challenge at 365 cards with this Four Corners card. This is a simple card, but I think the image packs a big punch. This is the newest image from Pink Petticoat and I can see me using this one often. Especially with the wedding season just ahead. I chalked the flowers on her dress and her bouquet and also her hair. Then, I added a fine glitter to her dress and veil. (Click on it to see it closer because the glitter adds so much!). I added my "bling" to the 4 corners. Well, I'm off to bed now and I'm looking forward to a full day of crafting tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

Buttons & Bows

It's buttons and bows at 365 Cards today. We are to use 3 bottons and 3 bows. I needed to do a birthday card for a friend who LOVES frogs. So, this is my take on today's challenge. The image is from Pink Petticoat. The scalloped circle was cut with the Cricut using the Mini Monograms cartridge. I'm not sure if the picture does this image justice. It has quite a bit of stickles on it and it really does shine. Thanks for stopping by today!

Thursday's Theme

Thursday's Theme today at 365 cards is "the big move". We are to create a card for someone that is moving. So, I pulled out one of these cute little images from Pink Petticoat and made a bright, cheery little card. Nothing special, just a simple little card today. TFL!

BLING!

Well, I'm playing catch up today. I missed Friday and Saturday of 365 Cards, so I'm working feverishly to catch up. Friday's challenge was to use bling on a card. So, this is my take. My bling is in the center of my flowers. I just love the beach and so I thought I would use some summer colors on this one. The sentiment is another one that I purchased at Pink Petticoat. I just love this little fish! The flowers were part of a patterned paper by the Paper Studio. I just cut them out and "stair stepped" adhered them with some pop dots. Well, I'm off to work on Saturday's card. TFL!

365 cards, Day #5

I'm back! It's a new day and day #5 at 365 Cards. Today we were asked to make a "quickie" Thank You card. Well, this card was made as quick as lightning! The pp is BoBunny - Homespun collection. The image is from Pink Petticoat (love those images!). So, I printed the image, cut it with my cricut and the mini monograms cartridge, scalloped circle in white and then in orange and then added a little color and some glitter. I attached it to my pp with some pop dots and adhered the pp to my card base. Then I added a ribbon and done! (It actually took me longer to tie the ribbon than anything! We need a tutorial at 365 on ribbon tying!). Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by 365 Cards and get some cards made!

365 Cards, Sketch #1

Well, the day has finally arrived and we have our first sketch at 365 Cards. I decided to use this cute little image from Pink Petticoat. I just love those little chicks! I used some Basic Grey pp, some Martha Stewart glitter and some ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby for $1.87 (for an entire bag of remnants!!). TFL!

Pink Petticoat

I found this website yesterday and OMG!!! I love this place!! You purchase and download images that you can color, glitter, leave black/white or whatever you want to do with them. I spent $20.00 and got a TON of images!! Go here and check it out:

http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/index.php. This is a card I made with one of the images. (click on it and you can see it larger). The sentiment is part of the image also. I just used that fab Martha Stewart glue pen and fine glitter to dress it up a bit, added some ribbon, flowers, button, twine and done! Isn't she cute?

You really do need to check them out. TFL!!
