PIP Challenge 2338

 Newton's Nook is this week's sponsor
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis, stamps and wonderful die 
cuts they have!  Go check them out now!
Here is my card 
I always have fun with Newton's Nook and
creating this card was no exception. I used
a variety of NN products, and as always, 
top notch quality! First of all I stenciled
the shells, using 3 different MFT inks. 
Next I stamps my gulls, and die cut them,
and my sentiment stamp. Both were colored
with my Copic markers, matching the 
stenciled ink colors. 
I used some mounting
tape to raise up the gulls to complete the
card. Of course I created some layers
and added a brown strip between the
stenciling and the gulls and sentiment.

PIP Challenge 2337

 The challenge this week is sponsored by
The prize will be a 
$10 Gift Certificate from 
YAY!!

Here is my project for the challenge...
I needed quite a few birthday cards for
this month and this challenge seemed like
the perfect time to do them. So, I used a
Newton's Nook stamp and die cut. I went 
through my paper pieces/scraps and 
found a nice variety. I colored the flowers
with coordinating Copic markers. 
I added a few white dots to flowers. 
Then I stamped the sentiment and raise 
up the flowers with some mounting tape. 
Super easy.

Here's what I made for the challenge.
I used Gil Rabbit Gardening from our
wonderful sponsor, Polkadoodles. I cut the
image into the 3 separate images. I colored
them with Copics. The leaves were stamped,
on Polkadoodles digital papers, and die cut
out. The sentiment was from the same 
company as the leaves and dies. Now closed.
and die cut (from a closed company) I raised
Gil, the rabbit, with mounting tape and 
that's it. Very easy card.

I used "Floral Digi" from Varada Sharma. She

PNG image and added it to some digital paper
I had from We Are 3. I then added the 
sentiment to the blank space. I colored the 
flowers with Copics. I punched a couple of 
holes on each side of the sentiment banner
and ran some ribbon through. I put on a 
few dot embellishments and layer the finished
front to a yellow piece of cardstock. 
The finished card is 5.5 square.
