Copic Colour Challenge
Saturday, February 27, 2010
- Cute Card Thursday - Feature ribbon
- Crazy 4 Challenges - Texture (Stitching, Ribbon, Embossed paper)
- Saturday Challenge - Stitching
To feature ribbon I used brown ribbon for tree trunks for my button trees. This card is very textural. The light blue paper is embossed, the silky texture of the ribbon and the feel of the zig zag stitching all add to the texture. There is also hemp cording on the buttons. I used my Cricut Stretch Your Imagination cartridge to cut the word Spring from my patterned paper and shadowed it with dark brown cardstock.
I went onto the internet to search for quotes about trees. That is where I found the quote by Kenneth Patton about seeing the leaf. If you look forward to Spring like we do in Michigan you can relate to that day when the first leaves start to pop out on the trees and you see green after looking at bare trees all winter. I printed the quote in brown ink on the light blue embossed cardstock and shadowed it onto dark brown cardstock.

Just Buggin' Spring Guest Designer Challenge
This cartridge cuts an attachable handle for the basket that has a flower in the center. I embellished it further by adding a dimensional flower that I made from my patterned paper. I placed a bow made from Easter ribbon on each side of the basket at the handle base. Inside my basket I placed a stuffed animal Peep that I have had hanging around my house from when I used to sell AVON. It is several years old and I'm not sure they have them anymore. It has been sitting in it's plastic wrapper in the closet since I got it as a demo product. I think my granddaughter will like it this year.

Thank you card/The Crafty Pad
The Crafty Pad challenge this week is a color challenge using brown, blue and white/cream. I decided to make my card using those colors. My base card is kraft cardstock, dp is DCWV Spring Stack. The hedgehog stamp I used is Penny Black and the sentiment is Inkadinkado. I colored with Copics. I used only a simple brown ribbon for embellishment since this card was getting mailed.

Mojo Monday, Creative Card Crew, FlutterBy
- Mojo Monday-Sketch
- Creative Card Crew-Get Well
- Paper Cutz-Get Well
- Flutter By Wednesday-Butterflies with Hearts
I made this card following this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I needed to make some Get Well cards for my stash so when I saw the challenges for Creative Card Crew and Paper Cutz I took it as a hint. I decided to work in blues because I wanted to use my newest Copic requistitions--B93,B95,B97. I'm slowly but surely adding to my marker collection. I'm really excited because in March I will be going for Copic certification from Imagination International, Inc. I can't wait. This cute butterfly with heart wings was just perfect for the Flutter By Wednesday challenge this week. I also got to use my new Cuttlebug folder from the Asian collection. I think it's called Cherry Blossoms. I got the set of six folders on a recent special at the Cricut website. I don't think I'll use the folder with the Asian lady very often but I love all the others that came with the set.
The Supplies--
- Papers-Lt. Blue, Dk. Blue, White cardstock, Flower Patterned paper
- Stamps-The Cutting Cafe-Social Butterflies, Inkadinkado
- Embellishments-Lace, Twill tape
- Tools-Cuttlebug (Cherry Blossom embossing folder, Cricut (scalloped circle), MS lace punch

2 Sketches 4 You, Kelly Jo's Color Challenge
2 Sketches 4 You and the color challenge from Kelly Jo (kraft, cream and black) this is what I came up with. My image and sentiment are digi stamps from The Cutting Cafe. I printed them on cream cardstock. I rotated the sketch because I thought it would be different and I wanted my card to open on the bottom. My base card is from kraft cardstock. I added a little stitching around the image with black thread. The black and cream ribbon are Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.
