Can't Stop Creating...

Here is another card I made for the Our Daily Bread Designs S-P-R-I-N-G challenge.  For this card I used the scenic sea scape stamp from their The Mighty Sea stamp set.  I colored the scene with colored pencils and framed it.  The scripture is computer generated and just seemed right for this particular card today.  I cut the frame with a nestie.  The flowers are punched and the flourishes were cut with my silhouette.  S= sea,  P=paper and pearls,  I=ink,  N=nestabilities,  G=gulls and green.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.

A Pretty Get Well...

This is the sketch for this weeks Mojo Monday challenge.  I love the opportunity to use several of my very pretty papers from a new paper pack I just bought at Walmart.  The paper is from Colorbok and is called 'Rosewood'.
     For this card I started with a white card stock base and added the patterned paper strips.  Then I cut out a sweet little doily with my silhouette from some green paper and topped it with a deep red scalloped circle.  To this I added a paper flower with a bling center and a Monarch butterfly punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  Across the top I put a double satin ribbon in matching green tied in a bow.  The get well sentiment is stamped with a foliage rubber stamp for a background done with SU Always Artichoke.  The sentiment is stamped in pitch black.  I inked all edges except for the base of the card with SU Basic Brown.  I used foam dimensional adhesive to adhere the embellishments and the sentiment tag.

I am entering this card into the Mojo Monday sketch challenge and the There She Goes clear stamps ribbon challenge this week.

I am also entering this card into the ABC Design Team challenge for 'anything goes' as their challenge is still going on until the 21st of this month.  So go on over there and check out their awesome challenge.  They are awarding a fabulous prize to the winner of this challenge (The winner will receive $20.00 Store Credit at www.abctoysandcrafts.net)  so it's definitely worth participating in!

Busy, But Still Crafting...

Wow!  This has been a busy week thus far.  But I did find time to spend in my craft room anyway.  This card design was inspired by Mojo Monday's sketch this week.  I started with cream cardstock and layered on a panel of brown, added a square of pretty patterned paper edged on the left with a strip of cream which I cut with some edging scissors and stamped lightly with SU Always Artichoke  using a foliage rubber stamp from my stash.  I then cut a cream circle with my silhouette and inked the edge with avocado.  On this I glued a 'trista tree' from my silhouette library just because I love to use my silhouette and I love to do something a little different sometimes.  I cut out the tag from brown and green cardstock and layered them, then I stamped the background with the same stamp I used on the cream edge.  I stamped 'Miss You' over this in pitch black Adirondack pigment ink.    I punched out some tiny little flowers from the same patterned paper and gave them green pearl centers then glued them to the tag.  The circle with the tree and the tag are put on with dimensional foam adhesives.  And there you have it.

Here is the sketch.

 
Here is the card I came up with.
