PIP Challenge 2126

This week's sponsor is 
Beccy's Place
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis that they have!  
Go check them out now!
Here's my card!
What I initially wanted to do with this ship
image didn't work out soooo this is the way
I went instead. It turned out better than I 
thought it would. Beccy's digis are excellent
and I think the simplicity of this card pretty
much showcases the ship. The die cut banners
and sentiment came from different companies.
I colored the image with Copics and edged
the layers with a gold ink.

I always love working with Gerda Steiner
images and this cute little mouse is just
adorable!! I colored it with Copics and fussy
cut it out. I used a die cut for the sun burst
and the other images were Fun Stampers
Journey stamps and fussy cut. I mounted 
a couple of them and added some crystal
lacquer for the glass.

PIP Challenge 2124

YAY for our current challenge 2124 and
our amazing sponsor,
Jan's Digi Stamps is kindly offering a
$10 Gift Certificate. Without our amazing
sponsors the challenges wouldn't happen. 

Here's my creation for this week!
The flower image from Jan's Digi Stamps 
is actually an Orchid but I decided I wanted
to make it a daffodil instead. Shows how 
versatile images can be. I made the image
small and printed out 2 of them. Once 
colored with Copics I fussy cut them out.
The THANKS die cut is from Crafter's 
Companion. I added a couple of strips of
the coordinating pattern paper across 
the top and bottom of the die cut. I attached
the flowers with mounting tape and 3 dots
of Black Nuvo Vintage Drops to create the
pearly effects.

Here's my latest project. It was created using

Father's Day Card

Hard to believe, I know...I barely take time to 
create let alone take time to join in challenges,
BUT, I decided to give some a shot. lol.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:


This was an easy card except for all the 
fussy cutting I had to do. I colored the 
stamped images (Darcy) using Copic markers. 
I edged the sentiment and embossed piece 
with a brown ink.
