Lots of challenges

This pretty purple card was made for several of this week's challenges. The sketch is from Priscilla's midnight madness  The stamp and embossing challenge is from Sweet Stamps.   I'm also using this for the patchwork challenge from TLC on Split Coast Stampers.  I colored the stamped flowers with copic markers, used a cuttlebug to emboss the green panel and added some pretty DP, unknown from my stash. I added lots of prima flowers and pearls to finish this card.  Please check out the DT cards on those challenges, they are all just gorgeous!!!!

Creative Belli Challenge, Branches!

Our challenge this week at Creative Belli was to use some kind of branches on our cards. I decided to use Stampscapes, Sutter, and Heartfelt creation stamps to make this cute scene.  I stamped in black on cryogen white paper and then copics to color and airbrush it. The fence and Eagle stamp were in my stash, not sure who made those.  Be sure to check out my DT sisters on the Creative Belli challenge and take a look at their fantastic creations!!!!

Our Daily Bread Design Sentiment only!! Stmapin Sisters in Christ, NEW

Our challenge this week on Our Daily Bread Design is no image just a saying, Yikes!!! I'm using this wonderful saying from the newest bundle, spellbinders die cuts for the ovals, Cheery Lynn die cuts for the butterflies. I cut the solid butterflies behind them after tracing them.  Added some bling and it's finished.  Be sure to check out this latest bundle from ODBD, it's wonderful and has matching die cuts for some of the stamps. I'm also using this for the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge of using something new on my card.  The bling around the oval is new and the saying is new.
