Thinking of You!

Hi, my card here is for Cheri's challenge over at Stamp TV. She wanted us to make a card or project using Gina's "Dropped Shadow" technique. I made mine a little different instead of using a solid stamp, I used this Butterfly from Theresa's "Whimsical Spring" by Gina K. Designs. I actually made both butterflies out of it I just cut them in half. I liked how it looked so went with it. Like getting two for the price of one. Hee, hee.


I also used Theresa's "Little Critters" and the sentiment is from "Dogwood and Butterflies" by Gina K. Designs.
I sponged the background with Memento ink pads, the card stock is from GKD and the DP is Basic Grey. The butterflies were colored with Copic's.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

More Challenges

Hi, today I decided to try something new. I saw this over at SCS, how to make a word card. The tutorial is by Dina Kowal and Beate has a video. The words are a free print download. Not one of my better cards but I guess it's okay for my first try, I now know not to use really heavy CS. LOL
If you are wondering why the little flower looks like it is just stuck on the lower part of the I, I kinda cut in too far and popped the flower on to cover it up!! Better than just tossing the whole thing. Right!!



I used Theresa's Purr-fectly Delightful" for the kitty and "Dogwood and Butterfly" both sets are by Gina K. Designs.
Here is a closer look of the kitty. My DH and looked at some cats last week-end, I think we are about ready for one after the loss of our beloved cat.
Sorry this really looks better in RL but just couldn't get a good photo today.

A Couple of Challenges

Hiya, Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday and for a couple of of challenges.
My mom loves flowers and plants and has a really green thumb, I didn't get that from her, so I will just have to color them on paper.
This week Brenda is hosting the "Free for All Friday Challenge" over at Stamp TV. Use a flower stamp and two different shapes on our card.
Also entering this in Joan's challenge over at Joan's Gardens. To make a standard size Birthday card with pink, green and some purple. Distressed edges and some piercing.




My piercing and distressing didn't show up very well, so here a closer view. Still didn't show that well, I guess it is the dark color against the lighter back ground.


The images is from Gina's stamp set "Seeds of Kindness" and the sentiment is from Theresa's set " Mountain Wilderness" both from Gina K. Designs.
I colored the image with Copic's, the DP and card stock is Gina K. Designs. The die are Spellbinders.

These old bones just don't bend like they once did!! Needless to say I won't be doing that any more!! This is for the inspiration challenge the CSS team did on Stamp TV.
This is the inspiration photo. The bottom right photo was the one I used for inspiration.
