Handmade cards

Thinking of you…..

I know I have been MIA on a few challenges but with this crazy weather my family has been getting sick. Now that everyone is back to normal I can go back to my challenges. So far I made a card for two challenges which are “Transport” – Lili of the Valley CHallenge and Deconstructed Sketch No. 47-Deconstructing Jen. For the “Transport” challenge we had to use a Lili of the valley stamp that had to do with traveling. Being that varies travel with wings they allowed us to use our fairy stamps. For the Deconstructed Sketch we had to follow the sketch below. Now for the items I used on my card.

Stamp: Lili of the Valley, sentiment from SU tiny wishes. -Copic markers and Prisma color pencils. -SU designer paper and PPI card stock. -Ink: SU and tim holtz distress ink. -embelishments:Lace, buttons, twine and paper flowers.

Sew Fabulous!

 

I made this card for a family member who loves to sew. I got the inspiration from Lucys cards. I incorporated some digital techniques I learned from her site and added a few embellishments. The stamp is a digital stamp I purchased online but unfortunately I do not remember the designer off hand. I will have to look through my invoices and post back as soon as I find out. The Digikit I used was purchased from Sweet Shoppe designs.

Paper flower challenge

 

 

I have joined a few new challenges this week and this card is for the wild orchid challenge “BINGO”.For the challenge you must choose 3 items that are in a straight line – horizontal, vertical or diagonal from the picture below. I chose distressing, flowers and paper piercing.

Friends Forever Card

For the friends forever card I used a new tiddlyinks stamp. I also incorporated some new digital techniques I learned from Lucy of Lucys Cards. The designer paper I used for this card were all from digi kits and I used Microsoft word to resize and color to my liking. The sentiment stamp is from SU and I used my nestabilities to cut it. I used copic markers to color in the girls. For this card I used a sketch from deconstructing jen’s current challenge.

I will be entering this card in the Deconstructing Jen challenge and tiddlyinks Friends challenge
