Best Dad Ever

F4A380 challenge - Machines and Tools I love doing masculine cards. This wonderful die cut was sent to me from Jan (Precious Kitty). I found it while cleaning out my craft room and my goal is to use up stuff so it is not sitting around in my craft room. Cut the card to 5.5 x 5.5 added a layer of black then a layer of craft that I embossed with wood EF and colored the inside with dark brown for the wood effect. added the die cut and stamped and colored the image with copics. Finished off with the sentiment.

Hello Gorgeous

WT638 challenge - June's Birthstone

Recently I have been sorting through my stash of stuff and trying to use up stuff I have had for a while. This image was sent to me years ago in a Teapot Tuesday card. I think this may have been the first image I tried coloring with copics or very nearly one of the first. I have had my copics 3 years so if that tells you how long this image has been on my desk. Giggles!!!

Colored the Stamping Bella image with copics. Die cut 2 edge die cust in black. My wonderful MIL picked up this DP. I think she is secretly trying to see if I can use the papers she likes. Cut it down to go with this image and added some Heartfelt Creations flowers with pearls in the centers. Added some liquid pearls to the die cuts and the corners of the image and card and finished off with some layering and the sentiment on the DP.

Hand Drawn Basket

The IC599 challenge - Beautiful Baskets...I was so drawn to this Basket that I just had to draw it so I could use it on a card. I have an aunt that this is totally her style basket and I just had to create this card for her. Drew the basket and colored with pencils. Fussy cut the basket. Sponged in the grey BG and stamped the birthday sentiment sponging while it was still in the die cut frame. Popped the basket and sentiment on dimensionals. This aunt also really prefers clean and simple cards and I am sure she will love this card.

The F4A379 challenge - No Stamps

The MIX226 challenge - Inkless 

I think this meets both challenges since I did not stamp anything. I did use ink but only to color the inside of the EF for my stars so they would stand out.

Many paper layers of red, white blue and craft. Die cut the blue and DP stars and the word Thanks out of silver glitter DP. Finished the edge of the blue star with white gel Pen and added some silver liquid pearls to the edge of the navy blue strip.
