Harmony Goddess


This card is for a sketch challenge found here: http://www.michelleperkettstudio.blogspot.com/
The image is a digital stamp from Michelle Perkett Studio Designs. I think she is just beautiful, don't you? Love these kind of images to color! I added my rhinestones with gold stickles as the glue and pushed them down in so that it oozed out the sides. I kinda like this effect. After the Stickles dry, they will be more sparkly around the stone. tfl

Beach Good Luck Charm


This card is for a Laura's Sketch 44 challenge found here: http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/2010/01/lauras-sketch-44.html.
I cuttlebugged and sanded Core'dinations cardstock for my base, and stamped my image on a piece of paper I made with the shaving cream technique with my friend, Amy, quite a while back. I love these papers, and was glad to find a use for a piece of it. tfl

Birthday Barbie - TLC257


This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Technique Lovers Challenge - TLC257 - to make a side-step card. I needed to make a card for my niece's birthday for her party on Feb. 14th, so I cut out the Barbie image from the invitation and used it as my main image on this card. Stamped happy birthday on back panel, cuttlebugged the side panels with my new Asian folder, and added flowers and rhinestones. Pretty easy. tfl

If the Shoe Fits - S2G Twisted Thursday Challenge 40 & CAS50


This card is for Shirleys2Girls Twisted Thursday Challenge #40, called "Indulgence". I used a digi I had gotten from them a while ago. Think it "fits" nicely!

I'm also using this card for the Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple Challenge this week - CAS50, using teal, white and another color for your card. tfl
