An Enchanted Evening

I created this card for the next challenge on the Paper Jewels blog and the theme is "an Evening Scene". The stamp I used is called "Misty Reflections" by Ching-Chou Kiuks. I coloured her with copics and the design paper I used is from a stash that my dad picked up for me at a garage sale. I thought it was so cute when he called me from this garage sale that he was at asking if I wanted him to buy some scrapbook paper for me. There were 178 sheets for $7.00. I figured for that price I couldn't go wrong and I was happy to find that there was a lot more good then bad in the pile. WTG Dad!! The paper I used in the Lilac Tilda card was also from that same stash :)

Love is Gone

I have a new challenge posted on my Paper Jewels Blog and the challenge is to create a project using Ribbon & Flowers. This was the example card I made. The image is called "Love is Gone" and I coloured her with Copics. And I decided to play along with the ribbon and make it look more like a picture frame with it all ruffled around. The ribbon I bought from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Dirty Dozen Challenges

So I've been playing along on SCS in the Dirty Dozen challenges. Here are two cards that I created for the challenges. The top card is a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from PaperWorks called "Side by Side" and the 2nd card is using a Spesch stamp from Paper Jewels called "Birthday Boy Unwrapped". Both cards are coloured with Copics :)

Paper Jewels Challenge #5

Paper Jewels has started their challenges up again so if you want a chance to win this adorable stamp, hop on over to the Paper Jewels blog and play along . The challenge runs until July 31st and your job is create something with a fancy border.

Here's my example:

I used CC Designs "Swiss Pixies Ladybug Nora" I colored her with Copics (R29, R27, R24, R22, R20, E11, E00, E000, C9, C7, C5, C3, C00) and inked the edge with CTMH cranberry ink. Her wings are colored in with a Spica pen in Garnet, so they glitter. For my fancy border I used one the new lace border from Magnolia.

Penny with Sunflower

I just love how this card turned out! I used a Spesch stamp called "Penny" from Paper Jewels. I coloured her with copics and then added some flower soft to the center of the Sunflower that she's holding. I entered this card in the SCS challenge to use yellow. The background of the flowers was from a Spellbinders Pendant die cut set.
