Crazy 4 Challenges....Open Heart

Happy Saturday Peeps!

time for another new challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges Blog.

This week the challenge is  CRITTERS

Put one or more critters on your card or project.

Easy enough, I hope my bird and butterflies counts as critters.... :)

I started with a base of Crumb Cake card stock. The DSP is from the Farmers Market pack.

I stamped the image from the Open Heart stamp set directly onto the DSP and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

I stamped the bird image onto some scrap paper and colored and cut it out.

I  ended up stamping the leaves images onto scrap paper and cutting out and adding over the image on the DSP because I didn't like the dark lines from the wood panels showing through. A bit tedious to cut out but I liked it better.

I created a nest for my bird with some twine and added it to the base with some glue dots. I then added the bird with some dimensionals.

The butterflies are from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and cut out and added them to the base.

I added a few pearls down the center of the butterflies.

The sentiment is stamped with black onto the crumb cake piece and then added to the base and wrapped around the side.

Be sure to head over to the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this fun challenge!

Sweet Sunday.....Hey There

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I started off my card by making the center element. I pulled out a fun new set that I had not inked up yet from Stampin Up called Open Heart.

 I stamped the leaves with black stazon onto some confetti cream card stock and then stamped the bird image onto some scrap confetti cream. 

I colored in the leaves and berries using my aqua painter. I used pear pizzazz, ole olive, cajun craze and pumpkin pie. The bird is colored with cajun craze, so saffron, and black. 

I used my white gel pen to add the small spots and to color the neck and small strip above the eye.

I die cut out the circle and then hand cut the bird out and added it to the main image with some dimensionals.

The BG is all made up using the Hardwood BG stamp 

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and then a layer of Cajun Craze. I stamped a the Hardwood BG a few times onto some confetti cream to use on my layers. I stamped some leaves along the bottom of the BG piece using some crumb cake ink. The leaf stamp is from the World of Dreams stamp set.

I added the flag pieces and the sentiment which comes from the Hey Bud single stamp.

I finished off with a couple of candy dots in the top corners.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:
