Thank You and a Wedding Card

First, I want to say a BIG thank you to the fabulous Dora! I won her candy several weeks ago. After several emails back and forth, we'd given the candy up for lost in the postal system and were both disappointed. I felt bad because Dora had worked so hard to send it from Malta. She very kindly sent a beautiful card when we thought the package was lost. The card arrived a few days ago and I was so excited. Well, this morning, the missing package was in my mailbox. I'm so excited to start playing. Thank you Dora!

Peanut and Chris are letting me have lots of crafty time this weekend. I've been mainly working on DT projects, but I wanted to make a card to share today.

I've made a wedding card featuring Kiki and Cuthbert from Pollycraft. I have a new favorite color combo for hair/fur after Zoe's fab live coloring classes the other weekend - E50, E53, and 0. I used this on Kiki and Cuthbert. For Cuthbert's vest and hat band and Kiki's dress I used Y21 and Y20 - I like these too.

I used papers and embellies from my stash. The ribbon is dark cream seam binding available at JLJ Designs (99c for 3 yards).
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Sketch Saturday #159 - sketch

2. Pollycraft Monday #96 - love and marriage

3. Craft Your Passion #61 - anything goes

4. Papertake Weekly - anything goes

5. Craft Your Days Away #22 - monochrome

Happy Crafting!

Audrey on Horseback

This is another collaboration card with my sister. She colored Audrey on Horseback from The Stamping Boutique and I made the card.

June Challenge at The Latte Lounge

I'm behind with this post - sorry! It's a new month and a new challenge at The Latte Lounge! This month the theme is nature/outdoors.

Our sponsors this week are The Stamping Boutique and Digi Design House.

I used a cute Friends digi from The Stamping Boutique. I used all the green Copics I had to color the image : ) The papers are from Back to Nature by JLJ Designs. I went with a simple design and added red and green rhinestones for accents.

Happy Crafting!

Monochromatic Greeting Farm

I wanted to make a going away card for my boss. I thought Cheeky Mate by The Greeting Farm would be perfect. I love this sentiment, particularly for going away cards. Since my boss is a guy, I didn't want it to be too flowery, but I did want to make sure he knew it was from me : )

I colored the image with Copics. I added silver glitter to the hat accents and around her collar. The papers, buttons, and stars are all from my stash.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Farm Fresh - Get monochromatic baby!

2. Sunday Sketch and Stamp #58 - sketch

3. Simon Says - Father's Day/for a male

4. Fussy and Fancy Friday - card for a man or boy

Happy Crafting!

TLL June Kid's Challenge

We're Dreaming of a Sunny Day for the June Kid's Challenge at The Latte Lounge. This month's sponsor, Fresh Brewed Designs, has even included a freebie. Just go to the challenge post to download!

Peanut made her card using Daisy with a Cupcake from Fresh Brewed Designs. She hasn't been that into coloring recently but she did use her favorite red marker on the cupcake. She's allowed to use the glitter and glue by herself, and she likes adding these purple flowers. The stickers were a sweet gift from Sara, and Peanut loves them.

Happy Crafting!

Cast a Shadow with Make It Colourful

This week we're casting a shadow at Make It Colourful. Our sponsor this week is Some Odd Girl.

I had never really tried to color a shadow before this challenge. I looked at LOTS of cards and I thought really hard about where the light was coming from. I imagined the sun in the upper left corner of the image. I colored the side of the house that was in shadow with C3. Then, I started coloring.

The images are Fairy Mae and Bee Tia from Some Odd Girl. I used Mushroom House and Whimsical Mushroom from Make It Crafty. Who would have thought mushrooms would be so perfect? The images are printed on Make It Colour paper, which Zoe has back in stock. Yippee! It's a dream to color on.

This is my second time playing with laser cut chipboard from Make it Crafty. I used Butterflies and Leaves. I painted them with acrylic paints and then added iridescent glitter glue over the paint.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Party Time Tuesday #18 - anything goes

2. Charisma Cardz #22 - something that flies

3. By the Cute and Girly - in the garden

Happy Crafting!
