Full of Surprises

My second birthday card for kids is a little more masculine with greens and corals for the Color Challenge 136. The focal point is an image from "Friendly Foxes" and a balloon from "It's Time to Celebrate." I found some patterned paper with colorful dots in the same colors which I cut into strips and incorporated to complete the Sketch Challenge Design. The images are colored with copic markers.

Happy Birthday Mouse

My stash of kiddie birthday cards is low, so I created two with critters following the My Favorite Things Challenges for this week. Here's the first one with a peach color focus and a cute mouse from "It's Time to Celebrate" for both the Color challenge #136 and the Sketch challenge #477. I am also going to enter this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Add a Sentiment" and the Monday Challenge "Frame It."

You are Pretty Amazing

More flowers! I used several stamps to create my own patterned paper, and die cut one flower and a flourish-like leaf stem to enhance my card project. Most of these products are from Simon Says Stamp. The inside of the card contains a large sentiment stamp from My Favorite Things. I am entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Add a Sentiment."

Big Hugs

Getting in the mood to make cards with flowers and I always need birthday cards, so here is a project I finished last night.  The photo doesn't capture the gold scrolling very well, but it was done with Delicata Gold ink and a large stamp from Impression Obsession. The flowers and leaves from Simon Says Stamp "Beautiful Blooms 2" are water colored.

I was inspired to use the sentiment to "frame" the flowers like the sketch for this week's My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #477.

And I can also  add this card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Add a Sentiment."

Sweet Easter

One more Easter card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Frame It." This is a Penny Black stamp, copic colored and a frame die from Reverse Confetti. I just love this little scene. Since I couldn't fit a sentiment on the front, I added one on the inside with some jelly beans and more polka dot paper on the side.

Easter

Here is another card using Simon Says Stamp set, "Eggstra!"  Here's one which I decided to put in a frame from My Favorite Things. This is for the Monday Challenge "Frame It." The polka dots look blue in the photo, but the patterned paper is actually purple!
