Penny Black Challenge - Monochromatic Brown

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend where ever you are! It's been another gorgeous spring day here and we spent most of the day outside.

I don't find much time lately to create something, but when I read what this week's Penny Black's challenge was (Monochromatic brown) , I knew I had to find some time to make a card today - I just love brown in all shades! So I stamped my image and took my copics outside and colored while the kids played.

The edges were sponged using creamy caramel ink and then I just inked up the edges directly with a chocolate chip ink pad.
Designer Paper is from DCWV (sweet stack). The white card stock was embossed with a cuttlebug folder. I embellished with a flower and brad flower center, a little bit of ribbon, and stickles glitter to the embossed areas and flower.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you liked this simple card!
Be sure to check back tuesday for my digital tuesday challenge card, using another super cute image, this time from a new to me digital stamp company.

DTC #54 - Paper Piece with Digis

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope it's a good one for you all!
Here's my card for this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge. The theme chosen by Amy is

"Paper Piece with Digitals".

How fun!!

Our sponsor My Grafico has given us a great set to work with - "Birthday girl" by Chi Chi Memories. There are several images in this set, I decided to go with the birthday cake image. It was so much fun to paper piece this cake!! Of course the beauty of digis is that you can make digis smaller or bigger and if you go check out some of the other DT member's blogs you'll see this same cake image in a smaller version.

Papers are from Stampin up, I embellished with some ribbon, brads, stickles and cuttlebug corners. I also added a punched out flower using one of Stampin up's retired punches.
I haven't felt like coloring much recently (don't know why, I usually love to color my images) so this challenge was just perfect for me!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. If you're up for a digi-challenge, why not join us at the digital tuesday challenge for a chance to win one of the many my grafico sets??

DTC #53 --- Wishing you the best

Happy Tuesday everyone!!Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend with some sunshine. We had lots of fun watching the kids hunt for easter eggs in the backyard and trying out their new roller skates.

Today's card is for this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge with a color theme: Blue and white + one other color of your choice, chosen by our hostess Suzie. What a fun challenge!

The color of my choice is red, I thought the color combo would be great to use with the image "Flying High" from Digital Stamp Oasis.

I colored it with copic markers. Papers are from Stampin Up and DCWV. I used a nestabilties shape for the image and the mat. Embellished with some eyelets and ribbon. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set.

That's it for today. Hope you liked the card. And if you're up for a challenge using blue and white +one, why not join us at digital tuesday?

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, have a fantastic day!!

Popcorn the bear

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by today.

I have a quick and simple card to share today. The image is "popcorn the bear". Isn't he a cutie? I got the set several weeks ago and had the image colored for a while too. Glad he finally made it onto a card :-)

I colored him using prismacolor pencils and baby oil for blending. The white edges were sponged with yellow ink, but since it's such a light color it is not visible on the picture. Added the scallop edges and some ribbon and then adhered to the chocolate chip card front. For some sparkle I added stickles glitter to the flower centers. I'll be sending this card to a friend as a spring cards, since I forgot to send any easter cards this year. And now it's too late :-(

Wishing you all a happy and blessed Easter Holiday on Sunday, hope it's a sunny one where ever you are! Enjoy the easter egg hunts!
