Whimsy Stamps Design Team Call

Hello friends!  Today I have a couple of cards to share with you today.  Whimsy Stamps is having a DT call.  It would be so fun to make the team so I thought I would give it a try.  I used some adorable Wee stamps  to design my cards.

The stamp I used for this card is called Berry.  You may find her here.

I colored her with copics, used a WeR Memory Keepers die and a Papertrey Inc. banner die for the sentiment.  Added a touch of glitter for some sparkle.  I will list copics used, down below.

For this card I used Wee Stamps Winter Friends.  I stamped the image with Memento Toffee Crunch for the no-line coloring technique.  The mittens are from a Stampin' Up punch, the snowflakes are from Martha Stewart punches and McGill.  She was also colored with copics and the snow dots were made with a white gel pen.  I really enjoyed coloring these images!

Make It Colourful Challenge #14

Hello everyone!  Just popping in to share two cards I made for the Make It Colourful Challenge #14.  The challenge was to use ball point pen or other medium you don't typically use.  What I love about MiC challenges is that they really do challenge you.  They are unique challenges that I find inspiring!  Here are my cards.

 For this card I used Gnomey Peter and a Bic ballpoint pen.

For Tress Dancing I used several colors of Bic ballpoint pens.

There is still plenty of time to join the challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

TTCRD challenge June 24-30

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing my final card with you as a DT member for TTCRD.  I have stepped down from all design teams to focus on family life, but will continue to post cards here and there, as time permits.  When I saw this beautiful poppies digital stamp by Aurora Wings I knew I just had to have it.  Poppies are some of my favorite flowers!  Here it is.

Colored with Copics.  Sentiment is from Stampin' Up and the punched butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch.

Hugs and smiles,
