Charlotte

Alrighty Ya'll. Here is my card for Day 2 of the CHA Relay Challenge going on over at The Greeting Farm. Meet Charlotte. She was the new freebie to use for the day. I made one minor adjustment to her, which was that I took the polka dots on the headband and scarf and connected them to make them plaid.

For this card I used Copics and BicMark-its to color Charlotte in, and I also sponged her haircolor to give it a different look. I used some denim paper from a DCWV stack and I had one PP that looked like a handkerchief so I cut some of the designs out for the accents. I used buttons and twine from my stash.


Mer Ian card

Here is a card that I made to fulfill two challenges

The first challenge is The Greeting Farm CHA Relay Challenge. They provided a free digital image of Mer Ian on Sunday and we had till 6:00pm CST yesterday to complete and post our cards. Those that did so would remain in the challenge and get the free image for the next days card to be posted. This will continue like this for the rest of the week.

My secons challenge is a sketch challenge over at http://thediedrichdare.blogspot.com for the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge.

For this card I used the freebie Mer Ian image and I colored him with Copics and Bic Mark-its. I also used Stickles on his tail. The PP is from the DCWV Summer Stack and the solid cardstock is various shades from the Core'dinations line. The bling and ribbone are form my stash.

Alert the media - I made a card

Well I finally got some mojo back. I made this card for a challenge over on Cafemom. I really like it. I needed a birthday card for one of my son's friends and I thought these images would be perfect for a young child.





I used the Wild Things stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I colored the images with Copics, Bic Mark-its, and Stardust glitter pens. The papers and rick-rack are just some I had in my stash.

My first Christmas card this year

Well I have made my first Christmas card of the season and it is done off the cute sketch created by Jack for the weekly Whimsical Wednesday: The Diedrich Dare challenge which can be found here: http://thediedrichdare.blogspot.com/

For this card I used a brand new stamp by Harriet Hurst that I just won from the Nutcrafters challenge. I think this angel is so pretty and I really enjoyed working with it. She is colored in using Copics and Bic Mark-its. I also used diamond Stickles on her wings. The paper is from a christamas swap I recently took place in. The snowflake brads are something I had in my stash.

Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a fabulous week.

SAS Challenge

OK so this is a card I made for the challenge over at http://sasthefreshbatch.blogspot.com
I had to make a baby shower card so I thought that this sketch would go perfect with the stork stamp that I have.

I used Copics to color the image. The house is made from the new Core-dinations cardstock that I just got. I had to add a shiny brass looking brad for the doorknob.

Thanks for looking.



So here is the sketch we were to use from the SAS Fresh Batch

A fall card for this Monday

Well its Monday everyone. I hope we all had a great weekend. I know I did, there is so much to do this time of year.

Well This is my first card I will post this week. I promise I will have more later.

This card was done for multiple challenges, five of them in fact. So lets get to it, the five challenges were the following:

Pile it on challenge http://pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/ - was to use a leaf or leaves.
Friday Sketchers http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ - was to use the sketch provided.
The Color Throwdown http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/ - was to use the colors orange, a dark nuetral (I chose brown), red and yellow.
Cute Card Thursday http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ - was to make your card sparkle (as you can see the leaves do that but so do several parts of Miss Dahlia)
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge http://thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ - was to make a card for the theme of Four Seasons, you could pick a season or do all. Here I picked Fall.

So onto the card specifics. I used some patterned paper that I got in a swap and cardstock from Making Memories. The leaves I cut from some patterned paper that I had. The image is a Wild Sprout named Dahlia from The Greeting Farm. I colored her with Copics, Bic Mark-Its and some Starlight glitter pens.

Thanks for looking everyone and I hope you all have a great week.

Another Anya card

This week I made a card for my friend's birthday using two challenges. Both of which are new challenge blogs for me. I am so excited.

First I used the recipe challenge at http://anyoneforanya.blogspot.com/ . The recipe was to use 3 pieces of paper or cardstock, 2 buttons and one bow. Here I used the two different color cardstock and the patterned paper I got from a swap. I used the two teal buttons and the pale pink ribbon for the bow (although I am not to sure about the bow).

The second challenge was a sketch challenge over at http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com . When I saw the sketch I knew if would work perfect with the recipe challenge.

Now as for the rest of the card, I used Flutter Anya for the image which I colored in using Bic Mark-its and Copics. I also used the Happy Birthday rub-ons from Making Memories.
