Digital Tuesday #4 Challenge: "April Showers Bring May Flowers"

Hello and Happy Tuesday! It is time for another fun challenge over on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog. Amy is the hostess this time around and she chose such a fun challenge "April Showers bring May flowers" Perfect for my location. It has been raining for several days here.
And I am so very excited to let you know that Dustin Pike is the sponsor this week! He is giving away 3 of his adorable digi-stamps to one lucky winner!!
Ok, onto my card now.
I used this cute bee digi-stamp from dustin pike, isn't it just perfect for this challenge?! Printed on GP white 110lb card stock with my HP inkjet and colored with copics. Papers I used are basic black, gp white and soft sky, as well as a retired designer paper from SU. I printed the sentiment on the computer and mounted with a brad so you can actually turn it. I embellished with prima flowers, brads, gingham ribbon and stickles. I also stamped a flourish on the left top with soft sky ink.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I hope you get a chance to play in this challenge.

CAS12 Best Buddies

Hello and happy Monday! I hope you are having a good start of the week.
I decided today to do a CAS challenge over on SCS. The challenge is to use ribbon scraps. I sure have lots of those. The image is Bestest Buddies , a new one from the Digital Stamp Oasis. I already had it colored in, so this card didn't take long to make. Matted with pacific point and gp white, then adhered to a piece of 5.25 square of pacific point. I added the pumpkin pie ribbon scraps and secured on the back with tape. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched out with the word window punch, layered on a pumpkin pie punchout. Did paper piercing around the edge and finished off by adding the old olive buttons with scraps of silver cord.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, be sure to check back tomorrow for my sample for the new digital tuesday challenge hosted by Amy. (There is also going to be a new sponsor with some awesome digi-stamps for you to win!!)

Image was colored with copics.

Sketch Saturday #48 Flying High

Hello and happy Saturday! I made this card for today's sketch saturday.
I decided to use a brand new image from the Digital Stamp Oasis. My first time actually using one of the new images, I have been so busy!!
The image was printed at 3.5 x 5 inches with my HP inkjet printer on GP white 110lb card stock. I colored it with copics. I sponged all the white edges with tempting turquoise ink. The sentiment is from Upsy Daisy (SU). Papers used are basic black, GP white, tempting turquoise prints designer paper and real red. I don't have a star punch (will definitely have to get one!!), so I stamped a old star stamp and cut it out. The star button is from a bag of buttons I got at walmart. Scallop nesties and scallop border punches were also used.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, be sure to check out the digital stamp oasis etsy store for a total of 8 new images that were just added today!
