Maya and Willie and a couple of challenges

Hi all!

I really meant to post this sooner, but we had a super busy day and didn't get home until 7:30pm.

I made this card yesterday for this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge, which is the colors Yellow and black. And it's also for this week's stamp something challenge, and they want us to use our favorite sketch. I surely use this one a lot, it is easy to work with and works for square, rectangle, oval, circle etc. main image.If you are familiar with Maya, the Bee show (or Biene Maja in german), then I am sure you recognized Maya and her friend Willie. I used to watch this show all the time when I was little (and a teen too!!) and believe me while I made this card I was humming the theme song LOL. I found this image while searching coloring pages online. It was colored with copics. Papers are from Stampin Up and DCWV. I embellished with a large prima flower, some buttons and silver cord, and added some stickles glitter to the wings.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, hope you like the card. Oh, and if you'd like to win some blog candy, Lora from Lora's cards is giving away some candy, you can read about it in the post below this one.

DTC #25 - Falling Leaves

Happy Tuesday!!

This is my Design Team card for this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge. Michelle R. is our hostess, and she wants to see falling leaves on our projects. They can be in the image, or on the designer paper or even a leaf brads, etc.

I actually stamped tiny leaves on my white paper, but they are really hard to see. My image is from Digital Stamp Oasis. Right now you can get all 20 digis for $10. Here is the link to the sale.

The image was mostly colored with copics, for the flower umbrella I actually used bravo burgundy ink from Stampin Up with a small paintbrush dipped in alcohol because I didn't have the right shade of burgundy in my copic collection.

The leaves on the ground were cut from the sizzix leaves die from Stampin Up.
My papers are all by Stampin Up, old olive, bravo burgundy, whisper white, and designer papers too, but they are retired. I embellished with a square aged copper paper clip and grosgrain ribbon and did some sewing around the edges. The full recipe is below.
