Mystery Image

Today is post day for the image swap I am in on Splitcoaststampers.  Jody was our hostess this month.

The image is by Inkadinkado.  I colored the owl with my copic markers and stenciled the background with Distress Oxide.  The diecut is Birch Trees by Impression Obsession.  The sentiment is from a stamp set I had in my stash  from Penny Black called Sprinkles and Smiles.

Thanks to Jody for a great challenge.

Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2007

I am super excited this week for our challenge #2007 at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  I was so excited that Newton's Nook Designs was our sponsor this challenge.  I think everyone know that this is one of my favorite stamp companies.  How can you not love their adorable images.

For my card I decided to use the stamp set Newton's Easter Basket.  I just love all the adorable Easter images that were included with this set.

I stenciled some clouds on the white oval and then pop dotted the adorable kitty image that I colored with my copic markers. 

Thanks to Newton's Nook for being our sponsor for Challenge #2007.

I have decided to enter my card in a few challenges.
Crafter's Castle - Anything Goes

Inky Paws Challenge

Happy Valentine's Day to all.  I hope everyone is celebrating with their loved ones.  I hope my day includes a little chocolate.  

Today I have decided to post a birthday card I made with the Inky Paws Challenge #116 in mind.  It is a color challenge and I have to say that this is my favorite color combo.  I just love red and teals together.
For my card I used the stamp set "Fetching Friendship" which I have used several times.  For the layout I used the Flags and Frames Die Set.

After cutting the center white piece, I taped across the lower part of the cardstock and used distress oxide to do a little sponging.  I colored the images with my copic markers.  

What a fun challenge this was.  Thanks to Newton's Nook again for wonderful inspiration.

Crafters of Faith

Faye is our hostess this month for our Crafters of Faith group on Splitcoaststampers.  She chose Psalms 63:3-4 for our scripture for our challenge.  "Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.  Thus I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name."

Faye challenged us to make a card with love as our theme.

I fell in love with the Simply Vintage My Valentine paper by Simple stories and knew that would be my card.  I used a chipboard embellishments and a few gems for the card.  The scalloped heart is Lacy Heart stackables by Lawn Fawn.

Thanks to Faye for a great challenge.

The Project Bin

I just received this new stamp set in the mail from the Project Bin called Just Sayin.  I knew I had to make a card right away using this set.  I seem to be running low on Birthday cards so I was thrilled to have something new to play with.

I love all the swirly words on this stamp set.  For my card today I used some beautiful Mintay paper called Bloomville which worked perfect for the sentiment.

I really like how this card turned out.  I just added a bow, some flowers and a butterfly to accent the sentiment.
