Leap Frog - LOTV

Oh those Lili of the Valley stamps are so cute & I think these new little animals are just the sweetest!  This image is Leap Frog & it is so easy to colour & works up very quickly.  I used Copics to colour the image, then punched out flower shapes with an EK Success (Retro Flowers) punch,& the bigger flowers are with a Sizzlit die & the leaves with a Martha Stewart Oak Leaf Punch.  The ovals were cut with Nestablilities, the paper is from a pad by DCWV called The Glitter Stack.  The sentiment is also from Lili of the Valley & is Set 6 Dreamy Days Sentiments.

Challenges:

Lili of the Valley - Punch It

A Spoonful of Sugar - Easter creations

Anything Goes - Make your own embellishments (the flowers)

Let's Ink it Up - use die cuts &/or punches (flowers, oval, circle for sentiment)

Gingerloft - die cuts &/or punches (flowers, oval, circle for sentiment)

Stamp Something - Spring

Cody on a Swing - Boyz Will Be Boyz

Evening to all of you!  Can you believe it... I've made three posts this week & it's only Wednesday.  My card today is the last of my images from Bizzy Bec's Boyz Will Be Boyz collection.  There are others but I chose this one plus two in posts below.  She does have some very cool accessories to go with these guys & if you pop on over to Bizzy Becs Store Blog, you can see what some of the other girls on the DT have done.

The paper is from one of those mini pads of Basic Grey, the brads & button is Tim Holtz.  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley & the image is coloured with Copics.



Sweet Little Donkey

 This week's challenge at Creative Card Crew is to make a card without using a stamp (you can use a digi) & is sponsored by MelJen's.  I've had this Sweet Little Donkey image for a very long time... it was created especially as a fundraising image.  The butterflies were cut using various Martha Stewart punches (hmmm.... I've been using a lot of butterflies lately), the ribbon & papers are from the stash & the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I used Copics to colour the image & then sponged around all the edges & the image with Tim Holtz Spun Sugar distressing ink.
This is my last posting as a member of CCC but head on over & check out what the rest of the DT is up to & check out the new members of the team. 
Challenges:
Mel Jen's - use dots
Wild Orchid Crafts - Use die cuts or punches (butterflies & the scallops card for the sentiment 

Pretty Petals

Celebrate Spring is the theme for Stamps R Us new challenge which is sponsored by Tiffany Doodles.  I chose the Pretty Petals image.  The papers are all from the stash & I used my Martha Stewart punch to cut the butterflies from glitter paper.  The sentiment & the post mark are from Whimsy Stamps & I used Copics to colour it.  It doesn't show up so well but both the sentiment & circle for the image were distressed with Tim Holts Walnut Stain.

Spring Bunny With Eggs - LOTV

 


Today's card is Lili of the Valley's 'Spring Bunny with Eggs' & the sentiment is from one of their circular sentiment sets called Set 7 'For You', which was a Christmas gift last year.
The sketch is from this week's challenge at Lili of the Valley's Challenge Blog.
I've coloured the image with Copic markers, the lace, pearls & patterned paper are from the stash; the green ribbon & yellow paper is Stampin Up.  I used my Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies.
I've entered the card in the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley - Sketch

Cody on Scooter - Boyz Will Be Boyz

I've coloured the image with Copics.  The edges are distressed & I used Tim Holtz's Walnut Distressing Ink around the image.  It's a little darker than I wanted but I am still happy with it.  Last card, I reported I was trying to use up some of the paper I hoarde & although I'm still working on that, I was to the city a couple weekends ago & purchased 4 yummy new paper pads plus some single sheets, plus some embellishments - am looking forward to the weekend so I can use some!

Today's challenge at Creative Card Crew is no flowers & is sponsored by Robin's Fetish.  The image I've used is called An Elephant Never Forgets.  The paper is Jillybean's Black Bean & the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Birthday Letter Seals set.

March Colour Challenge

The March challenge at Bizzy Bec's Challenge Blog is a colour challenge & consists of chocolate, raspberry, mint & cream.  This is my first time ever doing a colour challenge & I like them... I was a little stressed to begin with but I think we are good to go as long as of each of the colours is included.  I have had the Chinese Tilda for quite awhile now & was never really sure what to do with her before this.  The floral paper is Basic Grey's Curio & I love that design.  I am not sure what kind the cream paper is & the image is coloured with Copics.  I couldn't wait to use the new Doohicky die I'd got from Bec's store & I'm going to use that a lot, I can tell.
