Round Valentine



This Valentine card is going into the 7 Kids Challenge Anything Goes with a Valentine.  I used lots of Glossy Accents with die cuts, punches and ribbon, embossing with my cuttlebug.  The sentiment is a combination of 2 stamps from my old stash.  I thought is scalloped circle from Spellbinders would be perfect for a Valentine's card, just look at all those mini hearts I got to pop out of it.  The larger hearts are from a Martha Stewart punch, embossed & glossed

Birds for Bree

The name of this digi is Birds for Bree from A Day For Daisies, another of my favorite newly found digi Co.  She will be entered into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog which is Anything goes with Twine or Sting, I chose to use my hemp twine, I've had it for  years with still lots left.

I've also entered this card into the Through the Purple Haze Challenge since it qualifies with their theme a digi and a die.

Monarch Butterfly

Emily Monarch Butterfly is her name and she is a digital from Lacy Sunshine stamps, the latest of my very favorite digis Co. (another addiction)  I'll be entering her into :

Through Through The Purple Haze Challenge, theme is a digi and a die, as well on the: Simon Says Stamp Blog, requesting we use something new.  I have a couple of my new dies on here as well as some flowers and leaves from my old punches that seem to last.  She is colored with my Copics, Glossy Accents (can't create without it), glitter & a few gems.

Under the Umbrella

 
 
This little cutie trying to stay dry is Umbrella Lili a digital from Inky Impressions.  I used Copics to color her, raindrops in the background is a stamp from Designs By Rynn, 3 of my new dies from MFT Die-Namics, little grass, picket fence & the trim on top.  The little birds are also from MFT just not as new, a spellbinders die cut for my ovals, embossed with cuttlebug, glitter, gems, Glossy Accents.  I hope I got it all in.

Lots of Layers


 I did this card today to enter into DP2's challenge, Lot's of Layers, I've lost count of the many layers I have on here but I did have fun.  This cute little guy's name is Paddy, he is from Mo's Digital Pencil and too adorable to resist.  This is not my favorite card I ever made but Paddy does make me smile and with all the hours I put into this I thought I'd take a chance & enter.  I even layered the inside.

LS - Rory with Love Letters

 

I completed this card yesterday & she is so fun to play with, she is one of the new Lacy Sunshine digital stamps.  I'm entering her in the challenge over at  Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog.

It's amazing I got her finished at all as I first layered the background on the card upside down, no big deal I would just gently cut around the white, layer it to another card, now I have the opening on the proper side but I had wanted the darker color on top.  At this point I just went with the flow thinking this is how it should be.







Supplies used:  Colored with copics, Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies, die cut from MFT, some Glossy Accents, glitter & gems.
