3rd VSD Challenge

2nd VSD Challenge

Our 2nd challenge for our Crafty Critter VSD was to make a card using paper piecing. I chose a cute image from the newest Whiff of Joy Christmas collection. This card also qualifies for the following challenges:

Stamp Something - Winter Wonderland
Friday Sketchers - Sketch

Sunshine Sunday

Here's my Sunshine's Stamps card for this week. Sunshine is hosting the Day 12 challenge on SHOW and TELL CARDS and SCRAPBOOK PAGES. To make this card I used the sketch that she provided. I also made this a monochromatic card for our VSD that we had on our Crafty Critters blog. I painted the ice and the snowflake with Candle Light Shimmerz and I coloured the image with Copics colours, G09, G05, G02, G000. I also entered it in this weeks Spoon Full of Sugar challenge which was to make a Monochromatic card .

Flourishes Challenge

I think I barely made it on time to enter the Flourishes release challenge. We had to make a card that reflects what we like to see in our gardens. I love Petunias because they are availble in so many beautiful colours. Also I like to fill my garden with lots of pinks and purples.

Split Butterfly

Here's my 1st attempt at the Split Negative technique which was the Crafty Critter challenge for this round. I didn't get the butterfly centered, but I'm still happy with how this turned out. The ink I used was CTMH Vanilla and Lilac Mist and then I embellished with flowers and ribbon. I'm hoping to try this again sometime, it was a fun one to make!

Sunshine Sunday

Here's my latest Sunshine's Stamps post. I used another of their Christmas Images and Sentiment, be sure to check out their store for a whole selection of Holiday digital stamps. I also used the Sketch from Midnight Madness this week which Sunshine Stamps happens to be hosting so if you want a chance to win some of their images for yourself go check it out! And the colours were from one of the GinaK release challenges over on SCS.

A Christmas Wish Hop

If you came here from Crystal M's blog then you're on the right track, otherwise you can start at the beginning HERE.

Here's my card for the Christmas Wish Hop hosted by Michelle Perkett. This beautiful Angel is one of her designs and it's called "The Wishing Star Christmas Angel" This beautiful image can be found at her Etsy Store HERE. She asked all who participated to use this image and make a wish for someone other then ourselves.


To make this card I coloured her with Copic markers and accented all the stars with Stickles. I used a Nesties to cut out a frame from the white cardstock which was embossed by my friend Kristina who was nice enough to send me some. I then inked the edges of the frame with CTMH Sunshine Yellow ink and CTMH Outdoor Denim ink was sponged on for the sky. The gold and blue glitter borders were made with score-tape and glitter.

Now for my wish/prayer. I want to pray for all those little children belonging to our friends in the stamping community that are suffering from various illnesses, including cancer. I wish that they will recover and their families will be able to spend time with them for many more years to come! Nothing breaks my heart more then hearing about children suffering. And I'd also like to wish everyone a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!

Challenges entered:
Stamp Something: Glitzy Somethings

Digital Tuesday Challenges: Christmas Sparkle

Gingerbread Farmer



I whipped up this simple card with one of Ildi Co's new gingerbread images. This one is called Gingerbread Farmer. Isn't he a cutie? When I first got these images I knew I had to play with this one. Anyway, I used black and bright colours which is this weeks Ildi Co challenge. I also used this weeks sketch from PaperWorks. I coloured him with Copics and inked the edges with CTMH Sunshine yellow. The flowers are Kaiser flowers.
