2 cards today!

I was actually productive today and made 2 cards AND made cookies and cooked supper. :o)
The first card I worked on was for Gina K's Color challenge using pink and green. I used an image from CHF by Julie Stainton and its just too cute. I mixed Pearl Ex with hairspray and sprayed it over the white cardstock and it does give it a pretty sheen.


The second card I made was using the new free digital image from Sunshine's Stamps called Super Bird Race Car. I "blinged" up the car with stickles and used the stamped sentiment "Gaudy is Good".

Super Bird Race Car!

Here it is! The newest digital image from Sunshine's Stamps! You can get your own free digital image by just giving Sunshine a quick email. I colored my image with Sharpies, Bics and Prisma markers and then "popped" it out on the postage stamp background that I cut using my new Slice that I won for $91 in a "silent" auction on a blog. I'm LOVING IT!! So many fun things to do with it.

Penny Black/Card Patterns/Cuttlebug Spot Challenge...........its a 3 in 1!!

I really wanted to attempt to do one card that fulfilled the requirements of at least 2 challenges that I found on the Daily Dare bog. I've seen people do cards that meet the requirements of 5 or more challenges......and I'm amazed that they can do it! I was actually able to do this card and fulfill the requirements of 3 challenges! YEAH ME! I love the aqua mist paper from PTI. Just patiently waiting for them to get the new ink that matches the cardstock. The image is a PIF image from Penny Black and its for the Penny Black Challenge Soft and Sweet. I colored it with watercolor pencils and used my Dove Blender Pen to blend the pencil. I used the sketch challenge from the Card Patterns blog. I actually "finished" the inside of the card with DP and some sewing for the Cuttlebug Spot Challenge although my embossing was the Swiss Dot folder I used on the main part of the card.I left the inside blank so that it could more versatile...........as in "Wishing you Good Luck" or "Wishing you a Happy Birthday" etc..... I'm really pleased with how the card turned out.
