Willow's so bright we need shades!

This week at the WOJ Challenge blog was another fun Heather sketch! I really wanted to use my DCWV citrus paper...however these colors were so bright and bold they were a little scary to play with. However, in the end I got over the "busyness of the papers" and did like the end result! I used my new Willow from the WOJ summer kit! This kit is amazing...Elisabeth Bell always does such an amazing job! Katharina your kit rocks!!!

This is the inside of the card on the left hand side:

And here is the inside of the card on the right hand side:

Over at the Everyday Art Challenge their challenge this week is to create a 3D Creation! I think this card qualifies in more than one way for 3D...LOL! Willow is popped up on foam tape. The flowers and tulle are popping right off the card, and on the inside I have also put the flower on foam tape to pop it up! :)

This week at Magnolia vs. Stampavie there was a sketch challenge! I just love sketch challenges...if you haven't noticed! :) However, I was trying to figure out how I was going to interpret this one....I didn't have 3 Magnolias that I liked all together to use in each window (and I don't have any Stampavie stamps....YET...hope to in the near future...hee hee)....but I have Tilda with Vine and Basket that I thought would make a SUPER cute New Years card! Over at A Spoon Full of Sugar and Everybody Art Challenge their challenges were to make a New Years card so this was going to be perfect to use for all the challenges!

Here's the Magnolia vs. Stampavie sketch created by Donna.
And now for my interpretation of the sketch! I decided to rotate the sketch. Tilda is colored with my Copics which both are purchased from Wish On A Scrap. The red paper is Bo Bunny, and the black is some more of my wedding invitation paper left over. Ribbons, primas, brad, and spacer is from my stash. Tilda is double pop dotted to stand up off of the card. And the middle panel "New Year" is pop dotted up. I love all the dimension of this card! Wish I could share the 3D-ness with you!

And of course couldn't get away without decorating the inside of the card! Again paper is left over from my wedding invitations! I just love that paper....it's a very thick black card stock with lots of shimmer to it! I'm going to be sad when it's all gone! Good thing I still have a few pieces left to play with!

I want to thank everyone who comes and visits my blog and leaves such wonderful comments! I have met so many wonderful people from all over the world in the past 8 months, and I am so happy to call you all friends!

Sending my wishes to everyone for a happy, healthy, successful, creative and inky 2009!
