Card Mania Baby Challenge

Welcome.  Thanks for joining me for another challenge card.  This one is for the Card Mania Challenge.  The theme is Baby Cards.

I decided to use this sweet giraffe image that I found free online when I first started using digis.  I pulled some papers from my stash that I have had for a long time.  The sentiment and hearts are from a Hot Off The Press stamp set.  Adding a gingham bow finished off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great day and God bless.

I {heart} You Mom

Good Morning.  So glad you stopped in this morning.  It's dreary here this morning.  It rained all night and is supposed to rain today.  Makes you want to go back to bed and snuggle up with a good book.

The card I have for you this morning uses a Milk Coffee image.

I printed out the image onto Neenah card stock and used my BIC markers to color her in.  After coloring her I used the Nestabilities Ovals and Scalloped Ovals to die cut the image and make a mat.

I made the card base from Coral card stock from HOTP.  I then cut a panel from Aqua card stock from HOTP for a mat.  The DP is from ATD.  I die cut two ovals from the Coral card stock.  I used a strip of DP that is on the back side of the same paper.  I punched it with my Fiskars border punch.  The sentiment is from Studio G and I stamped it with Colorbox Aqua ink.  I punched out the  sentiment with a Fiskars oval scalloped punch.  I added three Prima roses in Coral and Aqua.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I truly appreciate it.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Hey Chick

Happy Easter/Resurrection Day.  I hope y'all have had a wonderful day.  We had a great day celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus.

I have a few cards for y'all today.  I am going to post them all in this one post so as I can get done posting and go watch the final installment of The Bible on the History Channel.  If you haven't been watching, you've missed a great series.

My first card uses a very cute image from Digi Darla.  I used my BIC Markers to color in this sweetie..

After printing out and coloring the image, I used my nestabilities to cut out the image and the scalloped mat.  I also cut a sentiment circle and mat.  I used Turquoise card stock from Recollections as my base and the mats.  The DP is from DCWV and I used the flowered DP to make the three roses uses my Sizzix rose die.  I also used a small 5 petal flower punch from EK Success for the base of the roses.  I added some Turquoise polka dot ribbon from my stash as an accent.  I hand wrote the sentiment.  I adhered my image using pop dots.

My 2nd card uses an image from Avadare and I also colored it with BIC Markers.  I printed out the image on Neenah Super Smooth White card stock.

I used the sentiment from Word Art Wednesday for this week.  I began this card with a 6" square Purple base from Colorbok.  I used Old Olive (SU) as my mats.  The DP is DCWV.  I followed a sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge to complete this card.  For the finishing touch, I used some circle bling from Jolee's.  

Challenges:
Word Art Wednesday--Isaiah 55:8
Friday's Sketch--#40


Card #3 uses the progressive freebie image from Imagine That.  It was very easy to add color to this one because it focuses on the sentiment not the images.

I used my BIC Markers to color in the flowers and the butterfly.  I also used a Glitter gel pen to highlight the swirls.  This is a 5x7" card in order to fit all the elements.   I used a premade base for the card.  I used Recollections Yellow as my mats for the DP which is from DCWV.  I added some Orange Gems from Queen and Co to add some bling.

Challenges:
Imagine That--Progressive Freebie #3
One Stop Craft--#222 Easter
Stamping with Dragon--Easter

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate all the comments that y'all are leaving for me.  Stay tuned tomorrow for the winner of my give away.  God bless  y'all.

Fancy Lady

When I saw this image, I knew I had to have it.  I love it.  Morgan Fitzsimons has some beautiful images and our theme for this challenge over at Scrapbook Stamp Society is to use either an image from Morgan or from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  I chose one of Morgan's beautiful ladies.

Isn't she gorgeous.  That Morgan is one talented lady.  This is a decoupage image.  I used pop dots between each layer of the image.  I used my Nestabilities to cut out the ovals.  I inked all the edges with DI Wild Honey.  The DPs are vintage postcards from DCWV.  The yellow card stock is from Colorbok and the base measures 5.5" square.  I added some gold pearls from Queen and Co. to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping in tonight.  I so appreciate it.  Have a great night.  God bless y'all.

Challenges:
Scrapbook Stamp Society--Use a Morgan Fitzsimons or Mitzi Sato-Wiuff image
Card Mania--#16 Lots of Layers

Best Wishes

Hello there friends.  How was your day?  It was pretty cold here today.  I can't wait until Spring.  I love Spring..the flowers, the butterflies, the birds..everywhere you look you can see God's love for us.  I just love it.

The card I have for this post makes me think of Spring.  The flowers, the butterflies and the bright colors.

I really like this patterned paper.  I think I am going to have to purchase another pack of  DCWV Glam Girl just for this DP.  I began this card with a 4.5"x4.5" Purple card base from HOTP.  I trimmed the DP down to 4.25" square.  I added a rub on from HOTP towards the bottom of the card so that the butterflies would stand out a little better.  All of the elements came from a HOTP Card Maker Kit that I bought last year.  I inked all the edges with Martha Stewart ink in Light Pink.  I added some Glitter Gel Pen to the flower and the middle butterfly.  I used pop dots between the layers of flowers and for the center butterfly.

I hope you feel a bit of Spring in the air after seeing this card.  Have a wonderful evening.  God bless.
