A Mouse and a Sketch

What a gorgeous day it was here in Brandon.....absolutely beautiful. The perfect summer day. I hope that, where ever you are, it was a beautiful day for you too!

Here is my card for today:



I used the mouse image from Prairie Fairy today, as it worked really well with the colors I had chosen. I'm really loving bright, bold colors lately. I colored up Ms Mouse with my copics.

I also used a sketch from the Friday Sketchers. You can see the sketch here. I used the cuttle bug on a couple of my strips, to add some texture to the card. I embellished with flowers, and a stick pin. I also added the ever popular rhinestones. I had an afterthought and sprayed my card with glimmer mist--marshmallow to be exact. I'm not sure if I like how it looks in the picture, but in real life it has a really nice shimmer to it.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers #109

Fairy Fun Friday Challenge

Don't you just love challenges? I sure do. I'm hooked on the Fairy Fun Friday Challenges over at the Prairie Fairy Fridays blog.

This weeks challenge is to make a tent card. You've got to check out the designer cards that are featured this week. Just awesome!




I made my card using the swirly cupcake image. I paper pieced the cupcake base and covered the top of the cupcake with stickles. I used my spellbinder corners for each corner--cutting and embossing them. I added rhinestones to the corner pieces as well.

I used silver elastic to hold the cupcake in the centre of the card, which was cut out again with the circle spellbinders. I also cut out the scalloped edging with another set of scalloped circle spellbinders. (Can you tell that spellbinders are one of my favorite toys?!)

The paper is cardstock and Kaisercraft. Lastly I added purple stickles on each scallop to embellish.

I hope you like it. I also wish all of you a happy, wonderful long weekend. The weather has been a little good and a little bad in my neck of the woods, but I'm enjoying it anyway.

Cheers!

Prairie Fairy Challenge

It's challenge time at the Prairie Fairy blog....in this challenge we have to recycle something.




I was coloring some images this week, while I was away, and finally got to coloring up the swirly cupcake from Prairie Fairy Designs. I used these copic markers to color it: E25, E27, R83 and R85. I cut it out, and it was pop dotted onto the card. I used a piece of dp from the Sugar Rush collection from Basic Grey. I used my spellbinders tags to make the tag and stamped it with the Trajan stamps from Papertrey Ink.

Now for the recycling part. I used a piece from a box of Graham crackers to make the tag. I seem to have developed this insane weakness for graham crackers, and I always have a box around. LOL

I also recycled a part of a bracelet. That's the silver heart hanging off the twill. The twill is also recycled. It came off some stamp order I received, but I can't remember which one. I colored the twill with another copic marker, ironed it and attached it to the card.



The inside of the card was decorated too. I used the same cardstock and my spellbinders to create the inside of the card.

I hope you like it. Happy Mother's day!

Prairie Fairy Designs

I stumbled across Roberta's site the other day, and feel in love with her designs. They are really beautiful and unique. I particularly love this fairy.

Roberta is having a design team call and this is the card I made. I wanted something that would make the fairy stand out and the easel card is one of my favorites, so I put the two together.



I used my copic markers to color the image, and glittered up the wings with some stickles. I used a corner punch to create some interest at the corners and used the rhinestones to draw your attention to the image--the focal point of my card. I chose not to use a sentiment on this card. I love blank cards because keeps my options open, so I can use the card for any occasion. I can even add a sentiment later on, once I decide who is going to get this card.
