WOJ Challenge # 25....A Spring Birthday!!!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the long Easter Weekend! I sure am enjoying the extra time in my craft nook! I got up bright and early this morning to finish up this card that I started for the WoJ Challenge # 25 last night!!!! Katharina has another super sketch for us and I couldn't pass it up, as I just love her sketches they always inspire me and turn out such fanastic cards every time and once again I'm very happy with how my card turned out using one of Katharina's fab sketch!!! I flipped the sketch cuz I wanted to change the oval to an egg shape! I cut it one from Prism Simply Smooth White card and the mat from Dark purple Bazzill Basics cardstock on my handy dandy Silhouette. I also took inspiration from this card on Katharina's blog and followed her instructions on how she cut and formed the straight border around the half circle! So, I cut the "apron lace" border on my Silhouette from the Bazzill Basics cardstock but I snipped notches into it, careful not to go all the way through, and curved it around the egg shaped mat and taping it on the back as I went!!!

You should head over the Katharina's blog to see all her great creations but she just so happens to have some fabulous blog candy!!!!!!!! She is giving away a set of her new stamps from the Medieval Times Collection 2 by Alison Acton!

I stamped Willow with flower on Prism Simply Smooth Cardstock and coloured her with my Copics and sponged the edges with Metallic Rub-Ons and inked the edge with Pretty Petunia VersaMagic DewDrops Chalk ink and added Crystal Stickles here and there!

I cut a 6x6 Cardbase from blue Bazzill Bling cardstock and used BG Euphoria patterned paper. I added a few Prima flowers with MM Glittered brads from my stash and a few dollar store roses that I Shimmerized, smile!!!! The fab ribbon is American Crafts and some great Ribbon that my BG Challenges bud, Martine, sent me in a wonderful RAK...thanks, hun!!!! The Sentiment is a Melissa Frances Rub-on and I added the little butterfly charm from the dollar store!

Here is the inside sentiment for the CC Designs Sugar Plum Sentiment set!!!

Thanks for stopping by and having a wee look!!! Hope you can squeeze in some stamping and crafty fun in between all the business of the Easter weekend!!!!

Hugs,

MFT: Happy Mother's Day!

So, I made my Mom a Mother's Day card with my new MFT Happy Mother's Day stamp set. I am glad I was able to make this card because I don't think I will get any stamping done this weekend,frown! We have a lot of packing and organizing to do for our trip to "Mickey land",BIG SMILE!!!! (that is what we affectionately call Disney World around here..Hannah started calling it that when she was wee and it stuck!) I used last week's Papertake Chellenge sketch by Katharina. Unfortunately, I didn't make the deadline to enter the challenge, that's ok, it was such a great sketch that I had to use it anyway! I am very happy with how this card turned out and I think my Mom is going to really like it too! I just might have to make a few more for some special friends who are great Moms!!!

So, for this card I wanted to use pp with my mom's favourite colours in it and the BG Sugared 6X6 paper pad was perfect!!! I coloured the stamped image in with my Copic markers and added some Ranger's Liquid Pearls and Sakura stardust pen to the flowers and the leaves. The square scalloped mat was cut on my Silhouette from a GSD file I downloaded for Kreation's by Katie. She has some great GSD files. So, if you own a Silhouette or another digital cutter, I suggest checking out her site! I also downloaded some of her mesh GSD files and can't wait to use them on a card! I ran the Burgundy Bazzill cardstock through my Cuttlebug with the "Thank You" embossing folder and inked it a touch. The sentiment is from the MFT Happy Mother's Day set too and I finished the card off with some American Craft ribbon and few Prima flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!
