Best of Friends
Hello and thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope you're all having a good week so far.
I have a card to share today, that I made using a new stamp from Whimsy Stamps July release. This one is from the Crissy Armstrong collection, it's called "Best of Friends". I used the girl version, there is also a boy version.
I colored the image using Faber Castell polychromos pencils. The beautiful paper is from a pack by Prima Marketing, I just love the colors in this paper so much.
I have added some grosgrain ribbon, and some baker's twine, then adhered the sentiment with some pop up dots. The sentiment is from the set "A touch of Elegant Furniture", also by Whimsy Stamps.
To finish it off I did some sewing, added the corners, which were done with the "Corners Die set".
I am entering this card to the following challenges:

Peaches
Hello again, I am back with a second card today. Now that doesn't happen too often here on my blog :-)
I wanted to play in this week's Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge, and the theme there this week is simply, anything goes.
I decided to use the gorgeous digi "Peaches" for my card today. You can find the image HERE.
I started with the sketch from this week's sweet sketch challenge, but now that my card is finished, it really doesn't look much like it, so I won't be entering it there.
The image itself has been colored with faber castell polychromos pencils and cut out. The butterflies are also part of the image, but I decided to adhere them onto the sentiment.
I used papers from my stash, designer paper is most likely from My Minds Eye. The blue card stock is from stampin up, I used a stamp from Whimsy Stamps "Lavish Flourishes" on it to create some interest, but it is not very visible in the photo.
The sentiment is from the set "Everyday Sayings Notables 4" by Whimsy Stamps. I used the Notables 4 die to cut it out.
I added some ribbon, and some glitter, and then did some sewing with my sewing machine to finish it off.
This card was made for the following challenges:

Whiskers and Wings for Penny Black and More
Good morning everyone!
It's hard to believe it is already August?? Summer is sure flying by, only a couple more weeks for us until school starts again! It's been so hot over here this summer, I am ready for some cooler weather, but I don't know how soon it's going to happen...
Since it's a new month, it is also time for a new challenge over at Penny Black and More. A really fun one again this month...
Here is what I made.
I used a super cute stamp from the clear PB set "Critter Party". It's been stamped on soft sky card stock and colored using my faber castell polychromos pencils.
The grass that kitty is sitting on is from a clear set by one of our sponsors this month, Flonz stamps, who kindly let the Design Team choose a few of their stamps/sets. I have to say I think the border stamp set that I chose, works really well with the Penny Black critters, especially the smaller ones from clear sets.
I have used this sketch before, I don't remember where I found it back then, it was a challenge blog I am sure. The designer paper strips are from my stash, and I punched a scallop border using black card stock. Embellished with some twine, and a punched out butterfly with some sticky pearls.
The sentiment is from a set by Whimsy Stamps. I will update here as soon as I figure out from which set.
I hope you'll join us this month, we have some fabulous prizes again this month from Penny Black, Stampalot, Joanna Sheen, Crafts U Love, Flonz Craft, so be sure to play along for a chance to win!!!
