No Monsters This Time!

I 've just finished a new card using one of Your Next Stamp stamps but this time it's not about monsters!

 

 

I chose Merry Mouse Candle and made a Christmas card following the sketch for Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge # 9, this one:

 

 

I was so sad I didn't have my card ready for challenge # 8, I had entered every single challenge so far!

But I'm happy I'm here for this new challenge.

 

My Merry Mouse was colored with Copics and mounted on a red card using a Lawn Fawn striped paper as background.

I love the fact that it's so clean and simple!

I made this:

 

I used a super-shiny paper from First Edition (Spring Drop) and added lost of glitter to the spots in the egg.

The image is Chick on Egg which I purchased last year from Gerda Steiner Designs: I adore this little chick painting the egg!

 

I'm happy I've found the time to make the three cards for this challenge!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge # 300 - Card # 2.

Good morning!

Here I am with my second card for Cupcake Inspirations Celebrations, this time for the Confetti Inspiration Challenge:

 

 

This is my card:

 

 

I loved the idea of adding confettis so I added tiny pearls on the cupcakes, sequins all around the card and liquid pearl dots near the hedgehog.

Again, I managed to use a stamp I've had in my stash for a looong while, I have a crush on Pennyblack's hedgehogs!

 

I hope to have time to make the last card for these celebrations!

Christmas Card Challenge # 14 - Sentiment Only.

Good morning!

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week we have a "Sentiment Only" theme for you:

 

 

And this is my card:

 

I've had this lovely sentiment from Tiddly Inks for a while and I was happy to use it in a card... I'm always happy to use something I have in my stash!

Colored with Copics, the image was mounted on a long card covered with a paper from Toga.

 

As usual, we have winners from last week: check them here!

You'll also find inspiration from our DT members, but you can have a look at their blogs here:

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge # 300.

The other day I came across the new special challenge at Cupcake Inspirations and I decided I had to create something for them.

It's their 300th challenge and they have three different themes for us to create with so I decided to find some time to create three different cards.

 

Yesterday, I made the first one.

The theme I followed was colors, these ones:

 

 

Chartreuse + White + Pool which I used in this mini card:

 

I headed for my sweet Silly Monsters 2 from Your Next Stamp, colored with Copics and mounted on an embossed paper.

I always enjoy creating with these little monsters!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 301 - Recipe.

Good morning and welcome to this week's C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

 

We have a recipe for you this week and I'm sure you'll love it!

 

 

And this is my card:

 

The digi is Cat from Kenny K's which I resized and duplicated to make a Mother's Day card.

Backgrounds papers are from First Edition (Floral Pavillion): I LOVE this paper pad and I've had it for quite a long while. This time I had to use it instead of keeping it tucked away...

I intended three different types of embellishments so I added pearls, ribbon and rhinestones.

 

We have winners from last week's challenge, check them here!

Isn't this butterfly cute?

Oh! I LOVE it and it made me happy as soon as I saw it!

 

I made this card:

 

I actually printed three butterflies in different sizes and thought about a spring-y love you card.
