Does My Head Make My Ears Look Big???

I started off coloring my daffodils for the CAS365 challenge. I think they may be a new hybrid daffodil-yes, that is it - it explains the new color. After that I may have gotten a little carried away and now it may not be considered CAS. I had a piece of water color paper that I had already put gesso on. I used watered down acrylic paint to make the background, added a little sponging and stamped some grass in. I decided to put a little sunshine in the sky and decided I needed a bird. After that I decided to make it an Easter card and added bunny ears. I couldn't stop there, I had to put the second sentiment on it because it will go to a lady at church who has a great sense of humor. I apologize if I added too much, but adding more to this card was more fun than giving my little fur baby a bath. He and I discussed it, he was in full agreement so I kept creating. LOL Now I have to break the news to him that he is getting a bath in a bit. He is not going to be happy.

This is also for the Mix160 to put a face on it. I think a cute little bird face counts. Don't you?

Challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Inspired by a Song (Daffodils - Mark Ronson)

Classy Cards - A New Baby

There is a new challenge at Classy Cards N Such today. The challenge is to make aqua and coral cards. I made a cute baby card using the Memory Box Baby Carriage. I added a coral punched heart to it and a few white pearls. I used Joy Foam squares to pop it up on the oval. I cut a plain oval and embossed it using the Crafts Too Dots embossing folder. I have to say this embossing folder is the one I use the most, it is my favorite. The decorative oval was made using the Spellbinders Floral Oval dies.

I hope you will come over to the blog and upload your card for our challenge - we love seeing your cards.

Classy Cards N Such store will be closing on the 29th. Be sure and check out the selection as there is a 38% discount on everything in the store. This is your chance to save on some of those things on your wishlist.

Thank you, for stopping by today, have a great week.

QRK Stampede - Picking Flowers

It is time for a new challenge over at the QKR Stampede blog. The challenge is to pile it on - use it up. I used the QRK Stampede image #11401 Picking Flowers. I colored the sweet image with copics and used a stitched oval to cut the image out. I layered it with a blue oval and a white scalloped oval.

The designer paper I used were from my scraps and I was able to use it up just like our challenge asked for. I cut some flower with my flower die and used my stylus to shape them. I popped them up on my card with foam squares. I added the flower corners and some rhinestones.

I hope you will join us for our Challenge. We love seeing the cards you make. You do not have to use a QKR Stampede image, but if you do, your chances to win will be better.

Thank you for coming by today. Have a fabulous weekend.

Classy Cards N Such - Heard You Caught A Bug

I made a Get Well card to share with you today. It seems to be that time of year that everyone is sick and the bug keeps hanging on. The bug I have really loves me, we are going on five weeks together. I hate to tell this little guy my feelings are not mutual. I believe he thinks we are going steady~smile~

I kept my card in monochromatic colors using the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper and vanilla card stock.

I cut the little jar from vanilla paper using the Sweet "N Sassy Get Well Critters dies. I stamped the bug and colored him with copics. For fun, I added some googly eyes hoping it will bring a smile to the recipient.

The sentiment was stamped on vanilla card stock that I cut using the Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence dies. I sponged around it with green ink. I added a twine bow at the top for the finishing touch.

Thank you, for stopping by today. Be sure and check out the Classy Cards Store for their 38% off of everything sale.

Classy Cards #124 - Lucky Dog

I have made a card for the new Classy Cards N Such Challenge for this week. We have an inspiration challenge picture with stuffed puppy dogs on it. We are suppose to use the colors, stitches or patterns on our cards. We can use them all if we like. I went with the colors and with the puppy dogs themselves.

All of the patterned paper that I used in my card including the image came from the Graphic 45 Raining Cats And Dogs Paper Pad. This paper does all the work and takes the guess out of what papers to put together for a card.

The circle was cut using the Spellbinders Teardrop Circles die. This set comes with four dies. I used the Spellbinders
Tool 'n One to clean my die. Here is a video on how well it works. It sure saves a lot of time.

I made my flower using Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose stamps and the matching die. I sponged them with ink. I shaped them using the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit. I added stickles to the center of the flowers. I colored the leaves, cut them out and scrunched the tips. Making flowers just doesn't get any easier than this.

Thank you, for stopping by today. I hope you will join us for the challenge.

P.S. Don't forget everything in the Classy Cards Store is 38% off.
