PIP Challenge 2620

  Another fun challenge ahead! PIP's fabulous
sponsor for this week is
It's always fun getting to find new stuff
and a great sponsor as well! YAY! Be
sure to go shopping!!
Here's my card...  
This mouse was perfect for PIP's 5th 
Monday theme, WATER. I printed the image
on cardstock then cut it out with my Scan n Cut.
Came out great. I colored little mouse 
with my Copics and added some white
gel pen highlights. The rain drop stencil
was one I had on hand and used a dauber
to add the teal ink. I used my white gel pen,
again, to highlight all the droplets. My
sparkle pen added some real glitz to each
drop too. An embossed green piece was 
added for the "ground."
The sentiments came from a set I had
from Newton's Nook and worked 
great with Pattie's Creations cute little
mouse. Mounting tape was used to 
raise up the image and sentiments.
Easy peasy!

PIP Challenge 2619

 Time to join in the challenge with 
Polkadoodles as this week's sponsor!! 
YAY!
We REALLY appreciate our sponsors!


Here's my card for the challenge...
Polkadoodles has images for every 
occasion or person. Go find what you need! 
I used Copics to color the image and made
my own sentiment to raise up with 
mounting tape. 
This card is make me sad...I finished it
a couple of days ago, for my daughter,
Heather. Yesterday, her sweet kitty, Smelly,
had to be put down, unexpectedly. It was
a very sad day and, needless to say, I wasn't 
going to give Heather the card on Mother's
Day. So many tears...
