SS #216 - Howdy!

Hello ~ Hello

My card today is for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch over on Karen's blog. I found this Whipper Snapper image in the clearance bucket on my last trip to Perfect Pals and knew I had to have her for my collection! The patterned paper is from October Afternoon, and I stamped a sentiment from MFT on a SU! wood veneer.

My Easter Basket

Hello ~ Hello

Last weekend I got the chance to play with some of my new Whipper Snapper stamps. I saw this cute bunny in a basket image and had to get him! The sentiment is also from Whipper Snapper stamps. The image is colored in with Copic/Prismacolor Markers. The patterned paper is from American Crafts. I used some green glitter brads on the bottom and the sentiment is stamped with SU! Wisteria Wonder Ink. 

Thanks for stopping by, HAPPY EASTER! Hugs ~ LJ

Dueling Divas-Darlings - Girls Night Out

Hello Hello

It's the 15th of April (yep my taxes are done!) so it's time for another Duel!  Here are the details for this month's kit that Kadie sent: The Diva's them is Girl's Day Out and the Dazzler's get Girl's Night Out.  

Kadie sent some really cute images from MFT Stamps. I colored her in with copics/prismacolor markers and used quite a bit of the pretty patterned paper that Kadie sent. 

I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch for my card design.

Unidentified Image Swap

Hello ~ Hello

I'm here with a card made with images from the April Unidentified Image Swap over on SCS! This month's image hostess is Darlene (luvcardmaking) and she sent us some funny images from Inky Antics! The image is colored with copic/prisma markers (I just re-organized my entire collection and did a color sheet - will have to post that later). All of the pattern paper is from SU! and I used basic grey brads and spellbinders blossom dies. 

Here is the inside of my card, using more of the SU! Patterned paper (it's from a few years ago).
