COF Mini May Challenge

Happy Friday everyone!  The sun is shining and the weekend looks lovely!  I took some time to stamp this morning and I am pleased with the result.  This card is for the mini challenge with the Crafter's of Faith group that I belong to.  This is a close knit group of believing girls who share their craft and pray for one another.  We are spread out all over the country and in Canada. It is a blessing to know there are gals who I can share with and KNOW they are praying when there is a need!

This week our awesome leader, Kelly asked us to create a card using green/yellow'purple and have something floral.  I found this image in my file of already stamped images.  I enjoyed coloring it, using koh-i-noor pencils and blending with mineral spirits.  I have much better results when I use this medium, rather than Copic markers, don't know why I stress myself......;o). Card base and DSP are from Stampin' Up!  Flowers brads are from JoAnn's (LOVE that place!!) I used nesties to cut the oval and scallop oval, then used my Scor Pal along the bottom.  Don't know if the picture lets you see this, the grass is hiding it a bit. 

Be sure to check out the creations of the others ladies, you will find the links to their sites on my sidebar.  You will be blessed by their work and by the sweet spirit of each of them. 

Have a blessed day and hug your Momma this weekend!!

Birthdays!

Finally got my mojo rolling and was able to get a few cards done. My card for today is for a March birthday girl.  I am pleased at how it turned out.  It just seemed to work! 

Recipe:  Card base-Gina K Luxury White, Layering and pattern paper layer-DCWV, Cuttlebug and embossing folder, image is from Bugaboo Stamps.  She is  a digi colored with Copics, I sponged lightly with SU Positively Pink. And the flower is from........I really wish I could remember.  Took them out of the package and now I can't remember for the life of me......you know how that goes!! 

Thanks for stopping in!  BLESSINGS!!

Good Day All!  Today my card is for my grandson, Asher, whose birthday was Friday.  We are going to his house for his birthday party today.  He had a pretty rough start, being 5 weeks early and had some issues that caused him to stay in the NICU for several .  He was wired to all kinds of contraptions!  Now he is 4 years old and wired in a VERY little boy way.  He has a great imagination and we enjoy pretending with him!

Cardstock is Stampin' Up! Pattern paper is from a DCWV 12 x 12 Summer paper pack from 2009. The image is from Annabelle Stamps- Lil Monster Balloons.   He is colored with COPICs (I need to get better at my shading).  I put to small star brads on his shirt and the large star on the balloon is a button.  I apologize for the shadows in the picture, just couldn't find any good light this morning. :0(

I plan to enter this in the Annabelle Stamps Anything Goes Challenge this week.  
Thanks so much for dropping in today!  Be Blessed!!                                      

Valentines, valentines....

Good day happy stampers! I'm making a concerted effort to stamp A LOT more these days, largely to keep the cabin fever bug away......today's card was really fun to make, it made me smile........I love this DP! The image was colored while at my sister's house last week. I got to try out her Copics. Whew! They are pretty awesome, there is a learning curve involved though. It will take me some time for sure.
Card base is Gina K Luxury White, a black layer is layered with Bo Bunny Alisa DP, soo cute!, next layer is Stampin' Up! DSP, image is layered on more GKD Black cut with rectangle nestie. The image is drawn by P. Hillman, I'm not sure what company. Square brads are from JoAnn's. In the close-up below, you can see that I colored the heart on the bear's chest with a red gel pen from Spica. The angel wing also was colored with a Spica pen. They are really cool too, small particles of glass make the sparkle.
Thanks so much for stopping in today! I hope your day is blessed!
