I used alcohol markers and colored pencils to color this image. The image was stamped in Versafine Clair Black ink. 

I used scraps from my scrap piles to make the colorful border. 

 

Double D challenge

I save my backgrounds that don't quite turn out right in my stash pile. When seeing what I had that could be a possibility for the challenge on the Double D,  and found this background I had made with distress oxide inks. Some of it was stamped with stamps, some of it was  smashed on with crumpled plastic wrap, and some of it was stenciled. I added the stenciling with the lavender colored inks to match the lavender cardbase. The sentiment is from Creative Worship Stamps, the die cut is from Darice (I think).

{BYSHC} sketch challenge #61

Here is my card for the new August BYSCH sketch challenge #61. I used some papers from Paper Studio and a light pink card base. I used white to print out this digital from Power Poppy. I colored with  alcohol markers and die cut "Jolly" from pink design paper. I added some pink sequins across the top of the middle band as embellishment. 

 

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #45

I made this card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #45 :

Using a pink card base, I embossed the card with a 3-D Christmas folder from Sizzix. Then I cute some paper from a Paper Studio Christmas pad for swipe of color across the card. I die cut one of the patterned papers from the tablet with a Gina Marie die. The holly die and the cookie and candy cane dies are from Sizzix. I drew the details onto the gingerbread man. I stamped the sentiment with a Stampendous stamp set.
