Butterfly Hello

I spent some time today looking around at some of the blogs I follow and ran across the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. I thought it would be fun to play along since it's been awhile. I looked back and the challenge I joined (other than my design team stuff) was back in December! Holy cow, it's been busy and time has flown by.

Here is the sketch for there challenge and I thought it would fun to join...

I kept the layout the same and decided to use some Stampin' Up products that I haven't used yet. I'll link them below if your interested in any of them. I recently became a Stampin' Up demonstrator, we will see how that goes. ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Glittered Sunflowers

Today I'm sharing the last card for the Diva's make it glitter challenge this month. I just want to say thanks to our wonderful sponsors Bugaboo stamps and Dies R Us.

I decided to use Lawn Fawn products that can found at DieRUs to say thanks!

I used an old wink of stella that I've refilled with water to water color my stamped images with distress markers. I stamped an extra flower on a separate sheet of watercolor paper to color and die cut. Adhered my watercolor panel and pattern paper to my card base, before adding my die cut sunflower.

Here is a closer look at my popped up flower and the shimmery watercolor! Just love all the shimmer!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Hello everyone, here is a card for the Die Cut Diva's blog our theme is make it glitter. I just added a hint of it in a few places.

I colored my image with colored pencils, die cut the image from cardstock and layered with some glitter paper that I used distress ink on for color. I layered all my pieces on the card. I added stickles to the rain and to the trim on the umbrella. 

Here is a close up of the glitter...

Patriotic Monica....

Hello all I'm sharing a card I made for Open Minded Crafting fun. For our June challenge we are to use our countries colors. I used the Monica digi image from Crafts and Me. I couldn't help but pick her, she has my name after all!!!

I loved the feathers in her hair and new I wanted to color them in red and blue. I added some silver glitter pen to add some sparkle to the feathers stem. I added my panel to black cardbase to help the patriotic colors pop more. To finish the card I added some star sequins in random places.

Here is a closer look, where you can see the sparkle a little better.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to stop by the challenge blog and play along for your chance to win a prize.

Coffee saves lives...

Today I'm poppin' up with a post for the Die Cut Diva's! Our June challenge is " make it glittery" and we have two wonderful sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps and Dies R Us. Hope you pop over to the blog and join us for this months challenge!

After printing this JJ Coffee image from Bugaboo I colored here in with colored pencils and trimmed her out. I used some Ground Coffee distress ink and the splatters stencil from Tim Holtz, then embossed the panel. I adhered the panel to a white cardbase. I used some foam adhesive to attach my image panel and once it was attached I went to town adding glitter glue!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

50th Anniversary

It's time for a new challenge again for a2z Scrapbooking! This month is anything goes. Visit our blog for more info and to link your card for a chance to win! I was in need of a 50th wedding anniversary card and this is what I ended up with...

I smooshed some clear ink on a sheet of paper and used some gold perfect pearls to color it before running it through the Cuttlebug to die cut the numbers. I used the same perfect pearls over the leafy images stamped on the the decorative strip. I used some glitter washi tape to border the strip on the card. Stamped the sentiment under the washi. Before adding the panel to the card I added some ribbon, then adhered all my embellishments.
