Thank You

First off, I won some blog candy from the Paper Yard! Thanks sooo much! I'm looking forward to receiving some new goodies in the mail! I also ordered some new Papertrey stamps... can't wait until this arrives so I can play with them as well.

I created this card for a few challenges:
Practical Scrappers - I embossed the pink c/s with my cuttlebug
CPS - CPS 150 - I used their sketch to put all the elements of the card together
Papertake weekly challenge - pink colour

Enjoy! I sure am having fun putting cards together for these challenges I'm finding online! What a great way to stretch my creativity. Thanks for looking!

Card Challenges

I love the colours chosen for this next challenge! Blues are a favourite, I love the cool, calm effect it brings to any project. I tried a watercolour effect for the background, stamped the koi with a darker blue ink, added a touch of green for the seaweed floating in the background, and stamped with an asian stamp in traditional red ink for the finishing touch.

This was stamped for the Playdate Cafe Challenge PDCC12. And, I also used this card for the Stamp Something "Blue and White" Challenge and the Just a little Something challenge with watercolours.

Hope you like it!

another dragon card

I love playing with fibers, ribbons, embellishments of all sorts! Here is a card I made with some soft yarn and a metal coin for accent.

2nd card challenge - CPS Year in Review

Now for my second online card challenge! Here is a card I made with the sketch 96 as a starting point. I used HA shadow inks with direct to paper stamping to create a subtle background. Then I combined images of dragonflies, a dragon and a Thank You sentiment to create the card.

Colour Challenge

I'm so excited! One of the reasons I started this blog was to be able to participate in card challenges. So, I made this card for the Play Date Cafe's creativity Challenge using the colors of gold, silver, black and white. I used silver as the main colour, embossed with my Cuttlebug, stamped a Panda image, and finished with a gold bow. I love it! It's sooo cute!
