Hey there, it's time for SCS's CAS challenge, A Purple Celebration. Carla is challenging us to create a birthday themed project using shades of purple. I broke out my Birdie Brown Somebunny set from My Favorite Things. These little bunnies are adorable! Just sayin'...
The images were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. This first one was fussy cut and the tip of a Q-tip was used for her tail.
How cute is this little flower cart!?! I love the bunny hanging upside down...way too fun!

Hey there, my coworker asked if I had any thank you cards with a kitty on it. Well, no, but I have a stamp for that! *wink* This gave me a great reason to pull out my Birdie Brown I Knead You set! The layout is MFT's Sketch #264.
This card was inspired by Tricia, aka T. Joy, from Splitcoaststampers. The cat was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut. The heart was die cut twice; once in red and once in white so the paw could be colored with Copics then layered one on top of the other. Love those distressed lines from MFT!

Hey there, happy Sunday! I combined challenges and made my aunt a birthday card. I hope if I get it in the mail on Monday, she will have it in time for her birthday! Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh? The first challenge is My Favorite Things Color Challenge #37. I wasn't really sure about the color combo, but in the end it grew on me! The second is the CAS challenge at SCS to use a sweet treat on our project. MFT's Birdie Brown Sweet Birthday Wishes was the perfect choice!
This cutie pie was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam. The die cut panel is MFT Blueprints 24. Simple sponging makes this super easy peasy!

Hey there, I thought I would play along with My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #263. Birdie Brown's Adorable Elephants were still on my desk, so I couldn't resist using them again. They're so cute and super fun to color!
I started by cutting a reverse mask with MFT's Square Stax then taped it down with blue painter's tape. Memento Summer Sky and one of the smaller clouds from Jumbo Cloud Stax was used to sponge the background clouds. The elephant and balloon were stamped twice with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar white; once onto the background then a second time onto a scrap piece of Neenah. They were colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then adhered directly to the background. The balloon has Clear Wink of Stella then several coats of clear glaze pen to give it a nice, subtle shine. Two Flat Bottom Clouds were cut from vellum and Neenah then colored with Copics. They were popped up on foam to finish the card.

Hey there, I'm back with another card for the SCS CAS challenge, ice and/or snow. Seriously...WSD has THE cutest snowmen ever! I'm so glad I finally got to ink Baymont up!
This cutie pie was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. I'm not sure why the die cut appears to be a circle...it really is an oval. Weird, huh? Love the new scallops from My Favorite Things! *swoon* It really doesn't get much easier than this as far as layouts go! I cut two strips then colored them with Copic markers to match the red in the image. A single snowflake with a silver rhinestone colored with R43 completes the card.

Hey there, I missed playing in Splitcoaststampers CAS challenge last week because I was at CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) in Anaheim, California! What a great time...we were super busy, and sooo very tired. Good times, lots of laughs! This week's challenge is all about snow and ice. I couldn't decide between two cutie patootie snowmen from Whipper Snapper Designs; so, I used them both and made two cards! LOL
This first card uses Snowman Harmony. The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. I kept the layout super basic. A die cut flag was colored with Copics to tie into the image and a few snowflakes is all this card needs. Wink of Stella adds a little shimmer to the shadows of the snowman and a clear glaze pen was used on the candy canes, holly berries, reindeer's nose and hoofs.

Hey there, it's another rainy day here on the Oregon Coast...my favorite coloring weather! Today's CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use the word "happy" on our projects. Perfect timing since I have two January birthdays I need to make cards for! The My Favorite Things Color Challenge #36 screamed elephant, and I couldn't wait to ink up Birdie Brown's Adorable Elephants so it worked out great. I also decided to use MFT's current Sketch Challenge #261...what a fun combination!
The background was sponged with multiple Memento blue inks. The elephant and balloons were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then glued directly to the sponged background. The "happy" die cut is a Whimsy die that was cut twice to give stability and a little extra dimension. The top layer was colored with Copics to match the balloon. The banner is from MFT Blueprints 26 and was also colored with Copics. I moved the banner to the right hand side of the card for a little extra balance. Copic colored Flat Bottom Clouds and a Clear Wink of Stella pen complete the card.
