It had it's own sentiments, etc. but I wanted
to use this little guy and words from 
Gerda Steiner. All I needed, besides a printer, 
was cardstock and scissors basically. It was

Here's my card 
I used a masking pen to outline the fireflies
and around the grass and image. I then used
daubers to apply ink to the sky and "glow". 
I did add yellow sparkle pen to the little flies.
Copic markers were used to color the image
and some of the edges from the masking.
I used a blue sparkle pen for her eyes. The
Hello die cut is from Crafter's Companion. 
I added a couple of heart embellishments 
in her hands.This was one of those cards that 
I didn't really like how it turned out. I don't 
like to take away from the cute image 
provided by Star Stampz.

PIP Challenge 2033

PIP Challenge  2033

There is no official sponsor for this week's
challenge but PIP will be offering the winner a 
$10 Gift Certificate from
Unity Stamps

Here's my card for this week!
The stamps are from Unity Stamps.
 Unity has so many fun and lovely stamps. 
I stamped the image and colored it with 
Copics. I am using this for my silly hubby
and my anniversary. He always wears 
sunglasses, even inside a lot. Inside the
card (I should have taken a pic) I have
a die cut of his type of sunglasses with
the anniversary sentiment. He'll laugh!
Stay healthy and safe and enjoy 
virtual hugs!!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies
Challenge 2032

This week's sponsor is 
Bugaboo
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis they have!  
Go check them out now!

Here's my card!
Well...can I say EASY!? Nothing like a quick
card especially when you need a "thank you"
in a hurry! I printed this perfect Bugaboo
image out twice. I made it a size that could
have a couple of layers. The second one I used
to cut out the ladybug and colored with a red
sparkle pen. I put some dots to the flower
with my white gel pen. I added a pop dot and 
attached the ladybug.
Glue my layers and the card is finished!

Here's my card!
A simple but sharp looking card. 
I like how clean it looks. I picked the
background papers then decided what
stamp to use for the main image. The
cute little cactus was ideal! The sentiment
truly finished it off! The stamps and 
die cut are from Newton's Nook. I colored
the cactus with SN TriBlend markers. I used
SN Sparkle pens to color the pot/mug.
