Two as One

I needed a wedding card and haven't used this stamp before. I had started out with just very vanilla and early espresso but it needed some pop so I added apricot appeal. I quite like it.

Wild Roses

Good morning! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Sister Act Card Challenge and their theme is anything goes... perfect! I had to make some cards that could be used for Mother's Day for Send a Smile 4 Kids Canada and Doodle Pantry's Wild Rose was a great choice. I printed the image onto whisper white cardstock and used prisma pencils and baby oil to colour them. Love how they turned out, fast, east and elegant!

Daryn's Car

I made this card for my nephew's birthday he is totally car crazy! The inside says ...with a birthday hi!
 I coloured the car with prisma markers, the clouds I used chaulk and you can't see it in the photo but the wind shield and headlights have crystal effects on them.

A Cup or Two

I've been trying to create all day and it seemed like everything conspired against me, lol! It started off this morning when I got a call from the retirement home saying my Dad was carrying around a lamp because it was broken. I guess he was trying to get it fixed even though I had just talked to him. So off to the home to help my Dad...I finally got to get a card done for a challenge due in 1 hour. I was going to try to do all the challenges, they had 4 today, but just got the sketch done.

Here's a closeup of the pot of coffee. I covered it in crystal effects and it looks amazing IRL.

Jacaranda Fan

Good morning, its actually bright and sunny here this morning, amazing! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Totally PaperCrafts and their theme is Don't be Square use a shaped card. It took me a while, (I finished 20min before I had to post) but I finally finished a fan card. It took me forever to figure it out but I really like it. I used Doodle Pantry's new Jacaranda flower. I had to do some research because we don't have them here, that I've seen anyway. This is how it looks standing on its own.

I stamped and embossed the white with a swirls background and then cut out the fan pieces. The flowers are  coloured with prisma alcohol markers and then I highlighted them with prisma pencils/babyoil. I added stickles to give it a bit more bling.

Sitting up like this it looks more like a fan. Hop on over to Totally PaperCrafts and give their challenge a try. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can enter our challenge as well!

Happy Sweet Day

Good morning! Today starts a new month (hopefully no more snow) and a new release from Doodle Pantry. I got to play with this gorgeous Fruit Star. I coloured the image myself and cut out to pop up the white flowers, cherries and the bottom pear (because I messed up colouring it). I decided on a gate fold card, the flowers and sentiment keep the front closed. I added rhinestones for a little bling otherwise its pretty simple.

Here's a close up of the image.

Drop on by the other DT members and check out their projects, you'll love them! There's also a special from now May 1 until May 6 receive 25% off a minimum $5.00 order.  At noon starts another Doodle Pantry challenge and just for entering with a Doodle Pantry image you receive this gorgeous star for free!

Hook, Line and Sinker

I was going to post a picture of what it looks like outside but that's too depressing...it snowed and is still snowing... again! So I thought I'd post a card I did for a friend's birthday a couple of weeks ago.
I did this image totally in prisma pencils and then used baby oil to blend.

Come back tomorrow when Doodle Pantry has their new release!
