Masculine Encouragement SC283 F4A15 fdkoc

With all my travels in May, I'm having a hard time getting back into the routine of daily challenges, but I will be back more regularly, I promise.
This card is for 3 challenges:
1. Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge - SC283 - from yesterday;
2. Splitcoast Limited Supplies Challenge - F4A15 - to make a masculine card - from today; and

I colored the image with Copics...still getting used to them, as you can probably tell...lol. tfl

Masculine Birthday Card MMSC56 CC273

This card is for my brother-in-law's birthday. I used 2 challenges for inspiration:
1. Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC56 - found here: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2010/05/midnight-madness-sketch-challenge-56.html for the layout; and
2. Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge - CC273 - found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=492949.
I stamped the birthday cake and sentiment with Chocolate Chip ink and colored with Copics. Then I added glossy accents to the cake stand to make it look like glass, and added a little sky blue, which was the "dessert option" for the color challenge. Added gold stickles to the candle flames and brown stickles to the chocolate birthday cake. A few washers and clips for accents, and it's done. Hand drew the candle and sentiment on the envelope. tfl

Friendly Flowers MMSC53 SNSDD18

Wow! Seems like it's been forever since I made a card. Been trying to catch up from vacation to CA and Mother's Day! This card is for 3 challenges:
1. Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC53 - found here: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2010/05/midnight-madness-dance-party-sketch.html;
2. Sweet and Sassy Digi Day Challenge - SNSDD18 - found here: http://snrcardiverse.ning.com/group/sweetnsassystamps/forum/topics/513-digi-day-challenge-18; and

The sentiment is a digital stamp from Sweet and Sassy Designs. I used chalks to give it some color. The printed paper is from the inside of the envelope of a card my sister sent me. The braiding is from a prize package I got from the DT team at Midnight Madness...Thanks!!! The flowers are punched out of Core'dinations cs and stickles added to centers. The two little birds are cut out of the patterned paper envelope inside. tfl It was nice to get back into it, and a fun card to make.
