HEART QUILT

Hello!! Not much time for crafting this week, but there is a new challenge on IBFChallenges so I wanted to show you this card!  Our theme is LOVE!!

 I used this great image from I Brake for Stamps and what seem to be my favorite colors lately!! The image is colored with copics.  When the color seemed too bright to go with kraft I just added a little E30 or E31 to 'dull' it down.  Without a lot of fussing I wanted it to look like a quilted wall hanging so I added the tabs and pearls at the top.

Couldn't leave out the stardust stickles, of course! In real life there is lots of sparkle!!  My papers are cosmo Cricket (the dotted) and My Mind's Eye (Blush collection of Lost and found)

Thanks for coming by for a look at what I've been up to!! So happy it's the weekend-gotta get back to my studio!!
Have a good one yourself!!  And please consided entering our LOVE challenge at I Brake for Challenges. Online galleries post with IBFCC18.  You don't have to use an IBFS image, but if you have one, please do!!  Here's the link to my HEART QUILT. If you shop, I'd love to have you used my code SAVE10CHERYL for 10% of any order!!

Tons of Love!

Hello and happy, happy Saturday! I'm off doing something fun with my family and I sure hope you have a wonderful weekend, too!
!

Sometimes you just get lucky! I had made this High Hopes elephant piece for an ATC challenge some time ago. When I was cleaning up the studio I came across it and happened to lay it on this scap of dotted MME paper! Loved it!

Found the sketch online (Sweet Sunday, I think) and the card came to life! Hope you like it too!

Thanks for dropping by!~ I appreciate it soooooo much!!

Love you bear!

This bear has a big heart!! This is the valentine that we sent to one of our great nephews. I thought I'd better post it before the week is over! Acually since I stayed away from heart paper I think it could be used as a 'love ya' card anytime! The card base is a soft yellow, then a layer of kraft and the dp is from a 6 x 6 pack from Making Memories. The stamp is from Whipper Snapper. Whipper Snapper designs are certainly among my favorites to color!
I used E markers for the bear, of course- I start light and just keep going darker in the shadows until I have the color I want. I started with E31 and ended with E29
The reds are R22, R24 and R29.

Thanks for stopping by to look! I really appreciate it!
Wishing you a wonderful day and WEEKEND!!

Here's my Heart Tilda and a winner!

Hello! Thanks for all the nice comments yesterday! Today's card is a Magnolia-licious image from the You Are So Special collection! It has such awesome stamps! This one is #3008 TILDA WITH HEART. I'm a little stuck on pink lately, so pink it was! The cutting, background and card style were all inspired by the Featured Stamper on SCS. I started with a white card base and cut the edge with my Magnolia Doo hickey cutting die.

I used some paper from a K & Co pad I picked up at Michaels and matched it to some Bo Bunny double dot paper. Since I was using a simple layout I decided some stitching was in order. I stitched around the inside panel as well. The pink edge shows when the card is closed. Look, I even stitched the oval!

It's fun sometimes to cut and leave a tiny bit of white around the edge.

Besides the Splitcoast Stamper challenge my card fits some other challenges out there this week.

Here they are:

Just Magnolia week 92 ribbon

7 Kids College Fund #14- Hearts

Bunny Zoe-Love is in the Air

Hello! It's the first of the month and time for a new challenge at Magnolia-licious. Everyone is away at CHA (not me!), but Patti Jo has challenged us to use Pink, White, Hearts and Silver on our cards! No problem! And you have the whole month to enter!
There are so many great stamps in the new You Are So Special collection at Magnolia-licious! Of course, I picked one that doesn't seem to be in stock, but I'm certain it is on reorder! It is number 308 TILDA WITH MANY HEARTS.
I've tried and tried to get a clear photo for you! I need a new camera and lighting system! My apologies for the some what blurry photos!

I used Making Memories Gossamer papers. Patti Jo said we could use green as needed for leaves, but I pushed it a little and pulled the green from the papers onto my image. Just a little, okay Patti? I used the R family for my pinks-R81, 83, 85 and 89. Can you see the silver-it's a little token that Diana sent us last year and I hadn't used!

I'll link the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog though I don't see the details just yet! I know they will be there when Suzanne gets a chance to post them. I'm sure there must be a prize for playing along! I would like to give something away too! If you leave a comment I'll send you a card (by me) and a Magnolia stamp! (TBD!) I'll choose a winner on Saturday morning, Feb 5, Eastern Time. I will mail internationally!

Now, for some other business! My card also fits TWO other challenges!

Thanks for visiting today! (Snowstorm coming our way, in case you keep track of Western NY weather!)

Have a wonderful day! Cheryl

Chilly Love!

Hello friends! I've made this winter card, but can you see the spring colors sneaking in? I'm so getting ready for soft yellow, pinks and blues! How about you? I saw this image (Motivet) first when Claudia (Pretty Pressings) made a nearly all white card with it! It was frosty and beautiful!

Well, I ordered it and colored it up pretty quickly then couldn't decide on papers! These MME papers came a couple of weeks ago and when I flipped to the back side the colors were perfect!

A couple of fresh snowflakes with my Spellbinders dies and a card was born!!

We have a beautiful, sunny, but chilly day here in snow country while to the east it is snowing like crazy! Sorry, but I'll take the weather in Western New York! We aren't "out of the woods" yet though, there's more winter to come!

I'm sure the copics are in the Cool family and the aqua is BG 10 and BG72, but I'm not sure about the reds and yellows. Sorry!

Going back to color a little more in my bright room!

Thanks for stopping and have a super day and evening!
