C.R.A.F.T and Cute Card Thursday Challenges

Here's a Mother's Day card for my Mom. The theme at C.R.A.F.T. is Mother's Day and/or flowers. They are giving a Stamping Bella Stamp and some handmade flowers to the winner! The challenge at Cute Card Thursday is Lucky Green in honor of St. Patrick's Day, using green as your main color. They are giving away four digi stamps from InStyle Stamps!

I used a Spellbinders rectangle to make the window for my card. The flower stamp is Penny Black "Clique" which I've attached pearls to the middle of. The sentiment is also by Penny Black. I punched the flowers around the front window and added gems. The sentiment is on the inside of the card.

Hope you have a great day!

Jazzy Paper Designs Challenge #4

Hi there! This weeks challege at Jazzy Paper Designs is inspired by the album cover: The Sidewinder by Lee Morgan, pictured above. Lee Morgan was a leading jazz trumpeter and composer. He recorded up until a day before his death in 1972 at the age of 33 in NYC. He was a member of the Dizzie Gillispie Band at age 18 and later recorded 25 albums, working with 250 musicians during his short life. Here's an audio clip of his song Sidewinder if you'd care to listen. It is really quite moving.

The flower stamp is Penny Black "Clique" which I've attached pearls to the middle of. The sentiment is also by Penny Black. I punched the flowers around the front window and added gems. The sentiment is on the inside of the card. I like how it turned out. I'm going to give it to my best friend Teresa in PA. The sentiment makes me think of her. Thoughts of her truly do fill the garden of my life!

ABC challenge: W is for Window

This is my first time entering the ABC Challenge. I've been wanting to. It's such a fun concept, don't you think? Here is my window card. I made it for my husband this past Christmas. I used a 3D image for the front of the card. I used a Penny Black stamp called Hope is Born and cut it into three sections. I used an Inkadinkado stamp (O Holy Night) for the inside. I used Stickles and gems to embellish and a MS border punch for the curtain and side of the card.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day.

Friday Sketchers #48 challenge

Here is a card I made for this weeks challenge at Friday Sketchers. I really like the sketch! It was fun to do. I used a Penny Black stamp on Neenah paper and then some pieces of scraps to fit the sketch. I colored the cute little butterfly with Copics. The sentiment is a peel-off sticker and I also used some stickles to accent. I've made an envelope to match.
thanks for looking!

Mojo Monday Challenge 82

I've made a card for the Mojo Monday sketch. The sketch is really a nice one. I made this card for a friend of mine who lost a family member. The pansy stamp is Penny Black, the sentiment is Paper Inspriations. I used Neenah paper to stamp on and Copics to color the flowers. I do not know what brand the DP's are, I've had them loose in my stash for a while. Hope you like my interpretation.

thanks.

Here is my card. I made it for my sis-in-law's birthday coming up.
All the papers are from the Sugared collection, except for the paper I stamped the Penny Black elephant on (Neena). I used Copics to color the image. Made a envelope to match.
Thanks for stopping by!

Our Daily Bread, Cardvaark, and Jazzy Inspirations challenges

Hi! My card was made for 3 challenges. The color scheme is based on a jazz album you can see on Jazzy Inspirations: http://jazzyinspirations.blogspot.com/2009/02/jazzy-inspirations-challenge-6.html

The Sketch is by Our Daily Bread Designs here: http://kellrick.typepad.com/our_daily_bread_designs/2009/02/angella-crockett-dt-card-of-the-day-and-a-sketch-for-you-to-try.html

And Cardvaark's challenge is to use Kraft paper: http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2009/02/kraft-macaroni-cheese.html

Pretty cool, huh?

My DP is Jillibean Soup's Portobello, the solid color cardstock is by Paper Studio, the rhinestones are by K&Company, the stamp is Penny Black colored with Copic Sketchers, border punch is by Stampin Up, butterfly punch by Paper Studio, Stickles on the butterflies and one of the circles, and I used some Diamond glaze on the flower heads for some depth.

I hand wrote the sentiment. (Do you think it looks ok?)

It's nice to have this ready for Mother's Day ahead of time!

Thanks for visiting!
