PIP Challenge 2617

As a brand new sponsor. They were formerly
Sweet n Sassy so I have an abundance of
their amazing products! 
Be sure to pop over and check out all the 
fabulous products they have 
In fact, gcheck them now!

Here are my cards for the current challenge
The first is the Mother's Day card I made
for my God-daughter. I began with a heart 
stencil and a variety of ink colors. Copics 
colored the image after I die cut it out. I 
stamped the sentiment and raised the image
up with mounting tape, then glazed the vase
and added some heart embellishments.

For the next card I started out with an
embossed white piece. 
I used some lavender for background.
I stamped the sentiment on a white
panel on lavender. Then the Copic
colored image was added with mounting
tape. I glazed the pot and added a glitter
pen to the flowers.

 I want to thank our wonderful sponsor
for the current challenge...
Be sure to pop over and check out all the 
fabulous digis she has!  
In fact, gcheck them out now!

Here are my cards for the current challenge
I have lots of RAM digis and it's always a 
tough choice since I love all of them!!
For these cards I used Birthday Mouse.
Both images were colored the same using
my Copic markers. Different die cuts were
used to cut out the main blocks and 
I found coordinating pattern papers
and card stocks. I added some glitter gel
pen touches to the dots on the cake and
the party hat.

Here's my Lawn Fawn creation
sentiment from "Ahoy,Matey" (cut)

I just got this die cut and I can see so
many ways to use it. First I cut the 
frame in black, then in green. I cut the
green leaves off and used LF's Jumbo 
Glue Tube to attach it to the black frame
work. FYI, it was the first time I tried
this glue and I LOVE IT!! Next I cut out
the flower in yellow and used the black
flower center to attach it to the petals.
Mounting tape was used to add the
flowers to the stems. 
The sentiment came from Ahoy,Matey.
I did cut the happy birthday so I could
stamp it the way it appears on the card.
Be sure to check Lawn Fawn out now.

or want. See their NEW ARRIVALS.

PIP Challenge 2614

  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...  
I used one of Pattie's Creations fun images,
Crayon Dudes, to make this card. Such
a fun image for any age. I colored it with
my Copic markers with some random dots.
I'm not sure where I got the sentiment
but it was ideal. I added colored layers
and raised the sentiment with mounting
tape. Sometime I may add google eyes
to the crayons. Could be fun!
Easy peasy!
