CYS - Add a Heart

Hello Hello 

Today I'm sharing my "Challenge Your Stash" card for this month. Each month, someone is the hostess, or challenger, and comes up with a challenge for the group. This could be a sketch or a color combination or a technique or a combination of those. Each person then uses her own images--digital or hand stamped--whatever she decides works best for the monthly challenge.  The creations from the challenge are then shared on the 28th of the month. This month's hostess is Tracie and she challenged us with putting at least one heart on their card. This seems totally appropriate - given that we are still in the month of LOVE, February! 

I made my card using the Hearts and Flowers Stamp TV Kit from Gina K Designs. The card layout comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches  (yes I actually created this card last night! :) 

I actually made a different card for the challenge before the one above over the weekend, so I'll share that one tomorrow :)

MFTWSC 373

Hello Hello - 

Today I am sharing my card for MFT Sketch 373. I pulled out my PI Giraffe Girl and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and gamsol. I think this is one of my better coloring results. I'm still learning how to color with pencils though. 

The patterned cloud paper is from my scrap pile (Echo Park). I added some SU! Pears for embellishments. The circle stamp I used on the kraft panel is retired from SU! (Polka Dots & Paisley). 

Below is a close up of the coloring: 

Here is the sketch (my card has a slight variation)

Something I Love

Hello Hello

It's the 15th of the month (again!) and it's time for another Duel. Kelly is our hostess for the Divas and our theme this month is "Something I love". Kelly chose a MFT Set - London Mouse because of her love of Europe. She also sent some fun papers and embellishments to go with the adorable images. Since we are still "around" Valentine's Day I decided to make a love-themed card. The sentiment is from another MFT Set in my own stash. I loved that Kelly chose to send some die-cut images along so I could build a little scene. That's one of my favorite "techniques" these days. 

Anyway - hope you like my card! Thanks for stopping by.

Floral Hello

Hello Hello -

I created this card with Gina K Designs newest StampTV kit - Hearts and Flowers. I've lately become a really fan of the StampTV kits, as you get two large stamp sets, coordinating steel dies, and 24 sheets of Gina K Cardstock.

My card uses the largest floral image, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The sentiment is stamped in Gina K Bubble Gum Pink Ink. The diecut flower is layered on Gina K Silver & Bubblegum Pink cardstock, and then the Base is Gina K Heavyweight White. I added some silver gemstones to the corners to give it a little bling.

Happy Brrrday!

I created this card recently for Terry's monthly SU Swap .Our theme this month is winter blues. The image is from a really old stamp set called "Penguin Pleasantries".  I used my favorite blue color for this card - Pacific Point.
