Flower Garden

Ok, I am back with one more card. Boy, did I have a very busy weekend. I loved every minute of it. I completed a total of 5 cards and that is a record for me. I took them to work and one of my co-workers decided she wanted me to design a card for a friend of hers. How cool is that. So that is my project for the week to come up with a card to make some one feel better. But, now I want  to keep this post short. So, on to the card.

The image that I have used is a  Gorjuss - she is the Purrfect friend comes with a cat. This is a Sugar Nellie Stamp. It was colored with my copics. I tried a new skin combination E00, E11, E13, E15, E25, R83, R81, R85, Y11, Y21, YG63, YG25, YG95, YG03. The paper is Basic Grey, the lemonade pad. I used paper peicing, I stamped 2 images and one was on the flowered paper. The second stamp (flowers) is from Stampenous. The Primas, they were a light pink and I used R85 to make them darker. The twine is from Hobby Lobby (I was so glad that they had small packages and different colors). Once again I used my new distressing tool from Tim Holtz, I love that thing.  My card base is Bazzill. There are only a few challenges that I want to enter this into. The first is Basic Grey Challenges (fortnightly) the challenge is paper piecing. They are also having a DT call. And I would love to design for them. So, I am going to give it a shot. The next challenge is Sir Stampalot Challenge the challenge is distressing. I know, I entered my last card and got a message that I had to many challenges to qualify for the prize, but I could try again. Maybe this time I got it right. You can't have more than six challenges to qualify. The next challenge is Our Creative Corner Sketch Weekly

That is it for challenges and I am coming to the end of my post. I hope that you like my card and I would love to hear from you.

MORE BIRTHDAY WISHES

Where has the weekend gone? It is already 4:04 pm and I have not posted a card all weekend. That is so not like me. First let me say in my defense, I have been working like a mad woman on an order of 100 thank you cards., with 50 to be delivered tomorrow. I finished about 12 pm today. Secondly, I spent yesterday running around all day and made a special trip to the scrapbook store, which is 45 minutes from home. But, I needed to pick up some magnetic folders that had come in. India, the owner of the store called me on Thursday night to let me know they were in. So I had to go up for that. I have been spending a lot of time the last couple of weeks trying to get my work space and tools more organized. I hate to be rummaging around trying to find something and it takes for ever. It seems like such a waste of time. Now, I can get to my Spellbinders just by opening a folder and lifting off the one I want. The packaging that they come in had to go.

Anyway, since I always keep some cards in reserve for just such an occassion. I have a birthday card that fits into a couple of challenges and that I really need to get in the mail tomorrow.

This second image is from the inside of the card, The left side and on the right I wrote my birthday greeting. The left side of the card covers one of the challeges that I want to enter.

The image was colored with my Copics, V04, V12, E31, E33, E13, E25, my spica glitter pen Lilac.  I used my scalloped oval Nestibilities and embossed it with the happy birthday folder from Cuttlebug. Of course both were done in the Cuttlebug. The sentiment is from a set of clear stamps. The Image is from Sugar Nellie Stamps (Gorjuss - just a gir) by Suzanne Woolcot. I think that they are just the cutest images. Plus, I got it at the scrapbook store for 1/2 price. The cupcake paper is from The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. It is the new birthday pad. The papers are so cute. Since I am using it for cards I just bought the 4.5x6.5 pad. I embossed the first layer with circle Cuttlebug folder. The challenges that I am entering this card in are as follows.
