One of my friends has asked if our craft group could send some uplifting cards to her sister who has cancer. This is the one I made for her. This cute MFT Flopsey bunny always makes me smile. I did some paper piecing and colored the bunny with a Copic marker. The clouds have some pale blue Copic streaks in them. Both polka dot papers are Bella Press. The clouds are a Fiskars punch. I'm also entering the card for clean & simple 281.

A Card Set for a challenge

A Blog Named Hero challenged us to make a card set of at least three cards. This was a perfect challenge since I plan on giving card sets for Christmas gifts this year.

I chose some polka dot Bella Press for the background then other colors to draw out the various colors. The green circle is SU Old Olive and the pink circle is SU Melon Mambo. The brown "weeds" are done in Fresh Ink Chocolate. The flower stem is SU Old Olive and the flower uses SU Melon Mambo, as do all of the sentiments. I used Nestablilities for all of the circles. The sentiment stamps are from Inkadinkado and the image stamps are from Hero Arts Earth Flowers.

 

Have you started making any of your holiday gifts yet?

Miss you ALL the time

This card came into being because I was making a card that needed banners, but I didn't measure very well and they were too big for the sketch! I didn't want to throw them away, so I went back to using OWH sketch 142. The background DP is Bella Press while the rest of the paper is card stock. Nesties were used for the sentiment pieces; the sentiment itself is Hero Arts.

 

Do you have any fall back sketches you use for a kick start to your mojo?

Miss You

A friend recently introduced me to Merry Monday sketches. This is the first one I've done... #56. The DP is Bella Press. I got it at the DeNami warehouse sale last weekend. It was $1.00 for a pack of 25! The rest of the papers are all card stock. The sentiment is Paper Smooches and the brads are from my stash.
