Buzz in the Air

I received this image from Wish Rak on SCS. I used stickles on the inside of the flower & on the bee's wings. I love the Penny Black hedgehogs!!! The color is Papertrey's Lavender Moon... it looks kind of mauve in the picture.

Stamp: Buzz in the Air Penny Black

Cardstock: Lavender Moon (Papertrey) Basic Gray (SU) white

Cuttlebug Swirls background folder

I colored it with Copics, added the stickes

I custom colored the ribbon & the dew drops. I didn't have anything gray.

Christmas Thank You

I know, I know... it's early to be thinking about Christmas cards... but I needed to think about an card I could mass produce. Both of my boys have December birthdays & it seems like December gets crazy. I added stickles to the top of the hat & the snowflakes. This card is inspired by this card on Splitcoast. I've had it in my favorites since last year. My goal is to take some of my favorited cards & create something with my own twist.

Stamp: Pile of Penguins by Whipper Snapper, sentiment is from Papertrey's Everyday Classics

Cardstock: Basic Black, Red, White

Snowflakes Cuttlebug, Rectangle Nestabilities, white & black gingham ribbon

Double Take Challenge Card

Gina K. designs just had a release party on SCS. During each release, there are 3 challenges & that means extra chances to win a free Gina K. set. LuvLee's challenge was to create a card using 2 different sets. One of them for the background & one for the focal point. I don't have very many Gina K. sets that could be paired together. So, my choices aren't too creative. I used the Eclectic Summer Kit for the background & the Eclectic Sayings for the focal point.

Stamps: Eclectic Summer Kit, Eclectic Sayings

Cardstock: Basic Black, Lemon Tart (Papertrey), white

Copics
Black pearls, Nestabilities Tags, Black ribbon, Lemon Tart ribbon

The Potluck Challenge on Stamptv this week was to use sunflowers if you had them. I'm not feeling "fall" colors, but I thought it turned out good. The oval sentiment is stamped on vanilla cardstock also, but it looks white. I did have a little help from my friends for the sentiment. (thanks! ;) )
