Lost Fairy - TSC

Hello everyone!!

What a wonderful week we've had, finally it's getting warmer!! The rain helped melt all our snow away, our front lawn and the deck is clear, there are only a few spots in our backyard, YAY!!

I wanted to play along with The Stamping Chef 's facebook challenge this week, her images are phenomenal and this week it's a Fairy!! Check out my card:

Here is a closer look at my copic coloring and the sentiment, it's a wood mounted stamp I got a while back. Since she is a "Lost Fairy" I figured she'd need help finding her way back, and who wouldn't want to find a way to peace right?!?!?!

For this card I also followed this color combo from Color Throwdown, CTD238:



I used lots of dies and a border punch. I added distressed ink around the circle dies and some black rhinestones for some bling. I also followed this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday!



I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Color Throwdown, CTD238
Sweet Sketch Wednesday, #202
Word Art Wednesday, #76 anything goes

Thanks for stopping by! have a SUPER weekend!!

love & create ...with a smile :)

I Love You MOM - Penny Black

Today was a dull and sad day! Not only because of the weather..but worse because of what happened in Boston ;(

My heart goes out to all the victims, the 3 that are no longer with us and the ones who have sever injures, my prayers are with them all!! May God be with them always!

On a lighter note, I've been meaning to use my stamps, I have a whole bunch that I pre-stamped a while ago, mostly Penny Black stamps!! I just fell in love with them, and the rest is history!!

I wanted to play along the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, so I searched through my stash of pre-stamped images and found this cute little guy. The challenge this week is the following sketch:

And here is my card!!

Here's the image colored. I used my water color pencils from Faber Castle (mostly because Ii had pre-stamped on water colored paper and I did not own any copics before). And the letters are from a new die that I purchased from Quick Kutz - high rise.

Isn't he just the cutest! I made this for a Mother's Day card, but it can also be used for a Birthday or a "just because"card for MOM!!

For this card I used a scalloped heart die and instead of cutting through card stock I used foam..it's so COOL and it gives added dimension!! I also used twine, a button and added glitter to the hearts on the DP for added shine and glitter.

I will be entering the following challenges:

Birdie Brown & FMS81 - find joy everyday

Hello!!

Today was sunny but still a little chilly here, even so the kids and I stayed outside to soak up a little vitamin D while my husband switched our tires from winter to summer  ones! Our dog Chico had fun too, he saw a cat and went crazy..LOL!!

I had done some coloring last week and today I got cracking on creating a card for a few of them, here's one!!

I stopped by Birdie Brown and saw that they have an April freebie challenge, so of course I couldn't pass that up especially when I saw this adorable image, Camera & Little Bird plus the sentimentl!! Here is a closer look at the image colored in copics.



Isn't it the sweetest!! This is a great card for several occasions, perfect for Mother's day coming up or a birthday card for a special someone!!

For this card I followed a sketch from Freshly Made sketches#81:


I also used 3 dies, some dew drops and the strip of orange DP came from the 12x12 paper I'm suing from American Crafts,  it came in really handy!! and of course some flowers from my stash.

I will be entering the following challenges:
Freshly Made sketches, challenge #81
Birdie Brown, April freebie challenge
