Love Heart

Good (early) morning!  I'm here with a new Flat Friends challenge for the month of May; this month we would like to see you use your dies and punches.  When I saw this adorable new image, I thought of this heart border die and knew they'd be a perfect match!  The image is colored, fussy cut, and popped up over the layered die cuts.  I thought fussy cutting the image was a great idea...until I started doing it!  LOL  Does that ever happen to any of you?  I've added a bit of bling for embellishing.

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Helen has chosen our challenge and she would like to see you use a doily on your card.  Let's get to it!

This simple card took me forever to make; I almost threw in the towel a couple of times, but since I didn't want to waste the paper I kept plugging away!  LOL  Why is clean and simple so hard?  I have done no stamping on this card, but I did put my dies to work...doily, flower, heart, alphabet.  For embellishing, I made a felt flower and used some cool zebra print bling (I couldn't resist buying it..I LOVE animal print!) that has been in my stash just waiting for it's moment to shine!

Ink: SU! Black Marker
Paper: SU! Melon Mambo, The Paper Studio Black Glitter CS, Echo Park DP
Embellies: Spare Parts Bling
Extras: Corner Chomper, PTI Doily Details Die A and Block Alphabet, MFT Rolled Flower Die-namics Die/PTI Raspberry Fizz Felt, Verve From the Heart Die

I hope you will check out the rest of the DT's doily creations...they are sure to inspire you...we hope you will play along!

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge: "I Miss You"

Hello! I have the MFTWSC14 card to share today. I started this last Friday night and finished it up this morning; I was too tired to craft after work this weekend. It took me a lot longer than it should have; I was fiddling around with the bow and I'm still not happy with it.... The rest is okay though. The little gal is colored with pencils and I paper pieced her dress. I like the vintage style DP, so I used a PTI doily die and buttons for embellishing. Image/Sentiment: MFT Pure Innocence "Making a List" Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU! Black Marker Paper: PTI Kraft and True Black, October Afternoon "Schoolhouse" DP Embellies: PTI Buttons, Black Grosgrain Ribbon (my stash) Extras: Prismas/Crayolas/Goo Gone, PTI Doily Die, DMC Floss That's all I have for today; tomorrow is Tuesday, so I will be back with a new Tuesday Morning Sketches card. Thanks for stopping by; enjoy your day! Angela

Monthly Image Challenge

Hello and happy Friday! I hope you've had a good week. I've been in a bit of a card-making funk lately.... I have had no mojo whatsoever! Sad, but true!

I am involved in a monthly card challenge with a group of ladies at SCS, where the challenge is to use the same image to make a card. This month our image came from Linda; Tilda is stamped on the prettiest shimmery carstock. Isn't she sweet? I must confess to having a fear of coloring Tildas, so this is the first card I have ever posted using one. I guess this challenge was good for getting me out of my funk, because I didn't want to flake and disappoint my friends!

Image: Magnolia

Ink: Sakura Black Gel Pen

Paper: PTI Kraft, SU! Marina Mist, My Mind's Eye "Abbey Road" DP

Embellies: SU! Marina Mist Grosgrain Ribbon, PTI Button/Twine/Felt

Extras: Prismas/Crayolas/Goo Gone, The Cat's Pajamas Cut-Ups Die, PTI Doily Die, EK Success 3D Dots

I am happy with the way this card turned out. I had the "bright" idea of shading around Tilda with pink; after I started I thought "oh no!" but I kept going and just rolled with it. In the end, I think it looks okay. It was a fun challenge; I can't wait to see our image for March!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend!
