You're in my Thoughts

I have a 'thinking of you' card to share today...it might be a little hard to see in the photo but behind the sentiment is a lightly stamped vase of flowers.
Supplies:- Flowers by Inkadinkadoo, sentiment by Hero Arts, SU coloured cardstock, SU DSP, Nestabilities, SU ink, SU ribbon, paper flowers, SU pearls, and foam dots.

Please know that I care...

The first card today was a special request and while I was having fun playing with rainbow colours I decided to make the second one as well. The house and rainbow in the first card have special meaning for the family it is being given to and I airbrushed the rainbow with Copics.

Supplies:- House a Home by Ippity, Hero Arts sentiment, SU Thoughts and Prayers, PTI white cardstock, Brilliance ink, SU markers, Copics, SU coloured cardstock, Nestabilities, SU ribbon, SU rhinestone, brads and foam dots.

I am part of a wonderful Blog Group called Tangled Up in Creativity and now that the new year is underway it's time to get our blog groups challenges underway and we have two this month. Today's card is for Molly's challenge over at Miss Molly's Creations and it's open for everyone! She has challenged us to find something we were given for Christmas that inspires our creativity - take a picture and make a card with that inspiration.

Here is the photo of the gift I was given by my husband. It's a little Swarovski crystal brooch. Something you probably didn't know about me was that I love archery and shoot every week with my family and compete once a month. I've placed the pin on my black quiver (which holds my arrows).

Here is my card...inspired by my black quiver and of course the gold and crystals! It didn't photograph very well but the coloured crystals are red, green and blue. I did discover that if you colour your rhinestones with Copics they still sparkle! Another reason to love my Copics!

I think the Kimono Kids in the new Stampin' Up catalogue are just adorable and I couldn't resist using one on this week's OWH Stars and Stamps sketch challenge card. Here's the sketch...
