A second post...this morning :)

Yep, here's a couple of more cards, using the same stamps on my desk.
For this first card, I stamped the magenta image in Memento Tux. black on PTI vintage linen and coloured with Copics and then added white enamel to the bells.  Glued onto black cs and closely trimmed, adhered to foam and mounted to the Labels One die cut.  I embossed the PTI kraft card front with a CB EF and made another for an extra center panel strip.  I made a wider panel with the vintage linen and used a MS border punch on either side.  The sentiment is Verve from the Great Friend set.  Love the simplicity of it!  I used SU seam binding for the simple ribbon.  I made this card for the SCS Spring challenge, the Card Patterns Sketch #107 (2nd entry) and also for the Verve "Get your Diva On!"
The next card is a CAS version using my little Lockhart chicklet...simple!

Is it Spring yet?

This card is for the following three challenges
CR84FN12 color challenge
The Dirty Dozen Sketch DDSKETCH0111
The Impression Obsession Is it Spring Yet? 
I wanted to use this cute Spring Garden Boot  That I purchased just before Christmas and I actually pictured it in pinks and lavenders, so when this CR84FN challenge appeared yesterday, I gathered up my supplies and started on it this morning.  I am really enjoying embossing kraft card stock (this one is PaperTrey Ink) and love the deep impressions.  I also used PTI's Dotty Biscotti to match the solid PTI cs "Lavender Moon". I used the Dirty Dozen sketch of the month from SCS, just rotated it a quarter ;)

I coloured the boots and flowers with Copic markers and cut out, dimensional foam on the back and layered onto a kraft Spellbinder oval.  Another very easy card!

Thanks for taking a peek!

The beautiful lavender lace...from Ros.  I loved everything that she sent to me in a swap last Fall and I am actually using instead of hoarding :)

PoppySeed's first challenge! Spring Yellow and a MF card submission.

Good morning everyone! Is it Spring yet?

This card will also qualify for the MoxieFabWorld challenge to make a "hello" card...I only just realized this, YAY!

I made a Spring card for the very first PoppySeed challenge. The challenge requires that we use yellow, a jewel/rhinestone and a flower stamp. Check for the PTI yellow, check for the rhinestone studded flowers and check for the stamped teeny flowers from PTI Bird Watching.

I really like how this card turned out, soft and Springy.

The tree is an image from the PTI set Through the Trees. It is the first time I am using this set and I know I will be using it over and over. It is so easy to use and today, I stamped the leaves in Spring Moss, but can you imagine rocking and rolling this in several fall colours?!

The grass that I positioned below the tree is from Bird Watching, another of my favourites because it too has so many versatile pieces. On the stamp in the grass are some cute bird houses on posts, but I inked up the grass only and the post portions became flower stalks for me to top with one of the teeny flowers from the set. I coloured in the petals with a pale yellow Copic marker.

The little bird is from this same set and I stamped her in barely banana and rocked and rolled the edges in creamy caramel on a piece of velum that I had embossed in white with a tiny lacey hankerchief stamp. I then took the pale yellow marker and went over some of the bird portions for definition and added a black dot from a Spica pen for her eye. She looks just like a parrot that I saw passing through a couple of weeks ago at the market.
The borders are a MS and a SU punch. I like the two layered over each other in the vintage cream and Spring Moss, both from PTI.

The sentiment is also from the Bird Watching set and cut out using a petite oval Nestie and I cut out another in this pretty PTI yellow and used an old SU corner punch on either end to create a little sentiment holder.

Thanks for peeking in and I hope to have another Lockhart fruit card for you later, because I still have some birthday cards to make!

Cheer to Spring!
