Happy spring - C4G #274

 Hi!  It is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme this time is "April showers."  Spring has sprung where I live, and we've had some April showers, so I used this cute little girl and her umbrella on my card...

My image is a digi from Your Next Stamp.  It was colored with Copics and fussy cut.  The polka dot paper is Making Memories Just Chillin' and cut with Poppystamps Raining Frame.  My sentiment is from Creative Worship Stamps Spring Blossoms. I finished it off with some twine, punched branches, and a flower from my stash. 

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

You're in my thoughts - C4G #273

 Hi!  It is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Spring has been officially here for a couple of weeks, but our weather obviously missed the memo!  We'll have a warm spring day one day, and the temp drops 40 degrees (F) the next! :P 

All that to say that our theme is "spring flowers."  Let's make it look like spring at least! LOL

(This looks so much better IRL!!!)

My flowers are Spellbinders Roses and Thorns.  I inked them ever so lightly.  My sentiment is from Poppystamps Art Deco Birthday Greetings.  It is a little hard to see in the pic, but I scored the bottom of my panel every 1/8" below the flowers.  I was inspired by this card...

Happy Christmas Gnome - SCC #183

 Hello!  It's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  This month our theme is "elves or gnomes."  This is a fun theme, but I realized I do not have any elf or gnome stamps or dies. :/  

So I made a gnome... 

I adhered a layer of vellum over my paper to tone down the colors a bit.  And as I said, I made my own gnome.  The beard is made with mulberry paper that I brushed out to look like a beard.  I hand cut his hat and used little circles leftover from a cover plate die for his nose and pompom on the hat.  My sentiment is from my "extras" box...  I think it's an old digi from From the Heart Stamps.
