Another baby card for my stash. Used Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge - SC359 for inspiration. These papers are some of my favorites...especially for baby cards. The stamps are from a set called Special Delivery from Fiscars. tfl

Surfing Birthday CC349

I was commissioned to do a card for a friend's son, who is a surfer. I used today's color challenge - CC349 - at Splitcoaststampers as inspiration for my colors (baja breeze, lucky limeade and calypso coral). The "surfboards" are made with Inkadinkadoo "Petal Expressions" stamps, the Happy Birthday sentiment is from Hero Arts CL139 birthday set. Sorry, I can't remember where the little sealife stamps are from. tfl

Merry Christmas MMSC130

This card is for Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC130. The beautiful Christmas Ornaments digital stamp is from priscillastyles-store. I colored the digi with Copic markers and made the poinsettias with my new Spellbinders dies. Love these things. Stenciled the veins on the leaves with gold metallic marker, and added little gold studs for centers. Some gold ribbon, and voila! tfl
I am also entering this card into these challenges:
1. 2 Sisters Challenge - Anything Goes;
2. Christmas Card Challenge;

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Needed to make a birthday card for my sweet granddaughter, Brittany, so I was inspired by today's Splitcoaststampers' Inspiration Challenge - IC310. My inspiration was a cute little polka dot plate from Sally Meekins Ceramics. I chalked inside my Nestabilities scalloped circle with a rosy color and then stamped and heat embossed my cupcake and sentiment.

I am also entering the card in an Anything Goes challenge at http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.com/.

5th Anniversary Card

Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary, and I made this card for my dh. I used the challenge at Splitcoaststampers to use embellishments we are thankful for - F4A90. Well, I don't know if everyone would consider embossing folders embellishments, but they are one of my favorite things to use on cards. They just add so much texture and interest. I did the embossing and used chalks and copics for coloring. tfl
