I created this card for 2 challenges. The Ready, Steady, Stamp #7 Challenge blog was to use brown, cream and yellow ochre
staples
Autumn
distress inks on the background, you can find the tutorial on how to do this
on their blog
Hessian
I also used the fun sketch at Midnight Madness Challenge Sketch #22. I created the panel using the distress ink technique on a glossy panel. I then embossed the leaves by StampinUp. I added the canvas and stapled it. I ran the background panels through the Leafy Branch Cuttlebug folder. I fastened that onto a yellow ochre pannel. I then added the leaves by Dress it Up.

My Favorites-DT call for House Mouse Challenge


I made this card to try out for a Design Team spot at the House Mouse Challenge Blog. I decided to use all of my favorites! I used my favorite stamp Dragon-flying and the saying is Verve. I used my favorite patterned paper Basic Grey Wisteria. I used my favorite colors, blue and green and I also love dragonflies thus the dragonfly charms! I colored the image with Copic markers. I also added Copic markers to the saying. I also added a lot of Dazzling Diamonds to the saying, the wings, and even the Cuttlebugged green panel. I also added Prima flowers with bling in the middle. I also used my favorite sketch that I used on my last card from the Basic Grey Challenge. If I don't make the team at least I have made one of my favorite cards! Thanks for stopping by!

One last card



for World Cardmaking Day! I created this card for 2 challenges. The movie for inspiration at Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge is Mrs. Doubtfire. This is a funny movie but I went for the more serious side. I like Daniel's speech at the end of the movie about how family can be different like the parents being divorced but they are still family. The requirement was to make a pocket or a surprise element to your card. I had this iron on velvet house for a long time. I ironed it on the cream cardstock and added lace. The burgundy paper is ran through the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. If you swing it to the side, you get some good advice about families from 7Gypsies.I used the sketch from the Inspirational Card Sketches.. This was fun to make. Thanks for stopping by!

All Sorts Challenge #21-Kraft and Midnight Madness Sketch #21


Happy World Cardmaking Day! I created this card for 2 challenges. I used the sketch at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and I used kraft paper for the All Sorts Challenge. I have always loved this sun stamp by Stampendous and I finally bought it this week. I stamped it with Versamark and embossed it with Copper embossing powder. The patterned paper is Basic Grey and the saying is a rubon by SEI. I also used copper cardstock. Thanks for stopping by!

Flutter By Wednesday #77 and Get Sketchy #8


I created this blue sparkly card for Flutterby Wednesday and Get Sketchy. For the Flutterby challenge you were supposed to use Danni's birthstone, sapphire as a color or gem along with your butterfly or fairy and I decided to do both! The stamp is Stampinbella-Madeline. I colored her with twinkling H20's and Copic markers. I rubbed Versamark on the white panel that was run through the Cuttlebug. I then embossed it with blue Zing embossing powder. The saying is a rubon by Cosmo Cricket. I added ribbon and bling by The Paper Studio. Thanks for stopping by!
