Southern Scraps

I needed to get a card made for my Daddy and I was about to run out of time. I pulled a Phindy's Place image from my stash that I had already colored this morning and turned to some challenges for some inspiration. I used the sketch over at CPS and some jute twine for the Crazy4Challenges call for twine, floss, or string. I thought this was a nice masculine touch. I also played Simon Says bingo . I used the bottom row - shape (Nesties label), ribbon and sentiment. I colored my image with the following Copics: C4, N9, G29,E39, E35, E07, B24, B18, C10,C6,G85,YG67, Y17, E17.  Papers are from K&Co. I used sentiment stamps from Stampendous and Stamping Bella. Do you stampers ever combine images or sentiments from different companies on a project or stick to the same line for each company? Thanks for stopping by!

What else could a mother want for Mother's Day besides hugs and kisses? Here's the card I made for my mother. I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop and combined some challenges for Just Magnolia (to use buttons, bows, and bling) and Crazy4Challenges to use 3 different papers, 2 flowers, and 1 button). I used a Tilda with flowers image from Magnolia Stamps . I colored her with Copics. Papers are from K&Co. Other items: Flowers : Prima Sentiment: MFT heart bling : K&Co. Martha Stewart lace doily punch, Nestabilities, Bazzill cardstock, ribbon

I created some gift card holders .  For design inspiration, I turned to some of  my favorite sketch sites. The first card is created with this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop . I turned the sketch sideways. Image is from Heather Ellis- Pure Innocence and is colored with copic markers. Papers are from Cosmo Cricket. Next is a card/gift card holder   using the sketch from CPS . I put the sentiment tag on the opposite side. I thought it worked better on this card there. This image is one of the Darling Sisters by The Greeting Farm . Image is colored with Copics. Papers are by K&Co. Here's a little tip for making those corners. Punch a scalloped circle with a 1 1/4 inch scalloped circle punch. Cut in half and then in half again to make four corners. Thanks for stopping by. I may be linking these to the parties on the side.

Verve is having a release week and has a series of sketch challenges. I'm trying to complete them and here is my first one for sketch 1 (VSWCMD1). Papers: K&Co; Bazzill cardstock Stamps: Verve Tools: Nestabilities, MS border punch Accents: Ribbon, button, Rhinestone

I've got one more card to share. It's another SFYTT combined with the Cute Card Thursday ribbon challenge and Stamp Something's recipe - design paper, button, and ribbon. Image is a Greeting Farm digi and the papers are KandCo.
