PIP Challenge 2235

 PIP is excited to sponsor 
$10 Gift Certificate from
for this week's Challenge 2235 is for the BIRDS,
since it's a 5th Monday the theme is Birds.
Be sure to join in!
Here's my card:
using Power Poppy's "Friendly Forest"
I colored this lovely image using Copic markers.
I tried to keep the colors somewhat muted. I 
used some coordinating twine to wrap and 
create a bow. Make some layers, add a few
white dots on flowers and the bird's eye, and
a few enamel elements to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!!

PIP Challenge 2234

This week's PIP Challenge is sponsored by


There's plenty of time for you to join in!!
Here's my weekly inspiration...
Since I was heading out on a mini vacay to
celebrate my 50th anniversary, with the 
best man, and friend, God could bless me with,
I needed a quick make card. I used an awesome
digital paper background and layered my 
image onto it. I think layered my sentiment. 
Boom...then I just used my Copic markers
and a white pen to complete the card. So
very easy peasy! Thank you, We Are 3
 
A big THANK YOU to our sponsor

Here's my card!
Well, I've finally returned to the stamping world.
I've just been unable to be productive and
I had many failed attempts at creativity all 
to no avail. Lawn Fawn gave me a lot of
options to be creative. I used Stitched Wave
Boarders and Flamingo Together from Lawn
Fawn. I snooped around my other stamping
stash and completed my card. I used daubers,
with inks, and a circle mask to create my sun.
I used a circle die cut for my sandy mound.
I heat embossed some black sparkle embossing
power then "daubered" some brown ink on it.
I colored everything with Copics and some
white pen lines added to the waves.
