Week of 9/29/18 cards

MMTPT531 - Let's Take a Book I like reading fantasy books. The print on my book paper is from a book with many children's fantasy stories inclusing Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.

This fun Sweet & Sassy image was sent to me some time ago and I finally got around to coloring it up. Used pencils on the flowers and copics on the butterfly. Layered on a book page that I added gesso and trimmed in distress ink and gold pen. Added some swirl die cuts and ribbon and finished off with some wood butterflies that my friend Jan (Precious Kitty) sent me for my birthday - Thanks Jan!

 F4A446 - Use Your Big Words

MIX293 - Sweet Inspiration

Truth be told I have never inked up this Large Happy Birthday sentiment. I have always thought it was super big but it works for today's F4A challenge. I think I have owned it for about 6 years. LOL!

The shoe cake image is a combination of the shoes and cake images next to each other in today's MIX challenge. Colored with copics and added stickles to the shoe because you need shimmery shoes for your birthday - Right? :)

The shoe image came from my fellow SCS friend Tonda Baldwin. I am not sure who makes the stamp but it is totally me. I think I might give this card to my mom so she can send it to me for my birthday this year. LOL!

IC666 - Paper & Stitch

I love the name Paper and Stitch, what a fun blog. I found this Blog Post.

During Dare to Get Dirty we got to play with stamping on fabric and I am hooked. I loved how the BG came out and created more.

I am also trying to use stuff up that has been in my craft room for a very long time taking up space. These butterflies have been cut for over 4 years and I thought it was time to use them up on cards.

Stamped all the plaid BGs with the plaid BG stamp from IO. Grabbed the die cuts and layered with fun sentiments and finished off with pearls.
