Thankful -- for Eureka Stamps

It's Monday, so it's time for a new challenge at Eureka Stamps.  This week's theme is 'Buttons & Bows'.  I love using ribbon and buttons, so I had a great time with this one!

This beautiful image is Eureka Stamps digi38501.  It was incredibly fun to color, and I used my Copic markers on this.  I used 2 sizes of a Spellbinders die on this.  The ribbon started out white.  I used distress ink sponged on in 3 different colors.  All papers and buttons are from Close To My Heart.  The sentiment is cut off the bottom of a piece of paper from Bella Blvd.

Join us this week for our "Buttons & Bows" challenge at Eureka Stamps.

Thankful -- for Whoopsi Daisy

It's Monday, and time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy Challenge blog. This week, our theme is 'Lots of Embellishments'.  I don't usually over embellish things, so this was truly a 'challenge' for me.  Here's what I did:

I used Linnie Bloom's sheet 414 for on this card. I colored her with Copic markers, then sponged the edges while it was still in the Spellbinder die with a couple colors of Tim Holtz distress inks (Spun Sugar and Dusty Rose).

I used lots of layers on this card - layers of paper, then chipboard flowers with layers of color on them.

The chipboard flowers are from UmWow Studio and they are covered with Liquid Pearls.  The sentiment was cut off the edge of a 12x12 piece of paper -- it's from Bella Blvd (all the designer paper is for this card).

Frogs, Vellum, and Birthdays -- for Fitztown

Hello, crafty friends, and happy Monday! It's time for a new challenge at Fitztown.  For the next 2 weeks, we want you to use some vellum. 

My husband's birthday was a couple days ago, and he loves tree frogs, so I used a wonderful Fitztown image to make him a birthday card:

The tree frog digi is one of a set of 4, found in the Etsy Shop, Morgan's Fae World.  I colored the frog with Copic markers, fussy & cut it.  I stamped a pocket on designer paper and fussy cut that.  The pocket stamp is part of a Unity Stamp Company Stamp of the Month kit.  I placed the frog on top of the pocket, stamped my sentiment on vellum, and placed it on top of the pocket. The sentiment is a stamp by CTMH. 

The designer papers are by Bella Blvd.  The Kraft card stock base is by Carta Bella. That fun new chevron punch along the bottom is from Close To My Heart.

Do you like to use vellum?  Do you find it a challenge?  Either way, find your stash and join us for the next 2 weeks at Fitztown!

Addicted to CAS -- Vellum
A-musing Challenges -- Pocket cards
