Here's my project 
I always have fun playing with Lawn Fawn
stamps and die cuts! To create this fun
card I used Critters in the Forest. For the
background I sponged on inks using one of 
the Beach Sunset stencils. I used daubers
and inks to create the sky and ground.
All the images were colored with my Copic 
markers. Once the images were cut out 
I attached them to the background, raising 
a few of them up for the added dimension. 
I added the "Woo Hoo" to complete the card.

Here is my card 
This was an easy peasy card. I masked out
a section in the center of the card front
and stamped some of the other butterflies
and then the sentiments. The main butterfly
was colored with my Copics and die cut out.
I raised the Monarch up with some 
mounting tape. Nothing like some fun

PIP Challenge 2432

  PIP Challenges wonderful sponsor

for the current challenge is...

It's always fun getting to find new stuff
and a great sponsor as well! YAY!
Go shop at Penguin Palace for some 
awesome stuff! I know I did! lol!
Here's my card
using "girl on floatie"
I found a great digital paper for this 
little cutie and added the sentiment
from  Penguin Palace. I fussy cut the 
little floater and colored her with my
Copic markers. I added one of those
bouncy springs behind her and then
attached her to the card. The bounce
 gives the action to the "waves" and my
floating ocean beauty. 
With a flick of your finger the little
gal gives a fun wiggle.  Thanks
for stopping by and I hope to see
your entries in the Current Challenge.

PIP Challenge 2431

 This week's amazing sponsor is
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digital projects that they 
have to help your creativity!  No 
die cutting machine necessary! 
Go check them out now!
Here's my project for this challenge...
The Cutting Café offers so many ideas
and all you really need is paper, printer
and scissors. It's a great place for the 
minimalist card makers. Ok...this wasn't
my greatest success BUT it was my fault
and NOT TTC's issue. lol. I have been 
struggling with a backache and was trying
to hurry the creating process and that just
made mistakes to correct. Anyway, 
this it the finished project and I only 
needed my scissors, printer, glue, and paper.

Thanks for stopping by!!
