Lupine Sympathy SC249

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge (SC249). It just kinda evolved into a sympathy card as I went along. Started with sketch, which this image I colored the other day fit perfectly. Then the bottom was left for sentiment, and I had these sentiment stamps that are usually too big for most cards, but fit this perfectly. I think it works. tfl

Ribbons & Bows at Midnight

I made this card for a Caardvarks challenge to use ribbon in a unique way found here: http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2009/10/take-bow-sponsored-by-may-arts.html

I wrapped the ribbon around my punched medallion and made a pretty bow on the top.

I used the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC22) found here for my layout: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2009/10/midnight-madness-week-22-mmsc22.html.

Dandelion Serenity CC239

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge (CC239). Kept it clean and simple. The butterfly is punched out of a wallpaper sample. Can you believe how well it matches the ribbon I got out of the dollar bin at Michael's????!!! Love when that kinda thing happens! tfl

Autumn Suede TLC241

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Technique Lovers' Challenge, using faux suede (TLC241). I cased a card by Cindy Lawrence found here: http://onehappystamper.typepad.com/stamping_inspirations_wit/2009/09/indian-summer.html (not that mine is anywhere near as good...she is REALLY good!! lol)
