Happy Anniversary Love Birds

Hi, everyone!  Today I am sharing an anniversary card I made using a freebie bird image from Newton's Nook.  I haven't played along over there for quite a while so I wanted to join in this time. I printed the birds a couple times so I could fussy-cut and also pop up the wings.  I coloured just the beaks with my Prismacolor pencils.  The heart die is from Impression Obsession, and the sentiment word dies are from Tattered Lace Everyday Sentiments.  The textured cardstock is double-sided, from EK Success, and I used 3 varying shades of purple.  I added two scored lines on the top and bottom of the purple panel.  The yellow cardstock is from Recollections. The charm and twine are from my stash.



I enjoy supporting the following challenges:

Two Christmas Cards

Hello, everyone, I have two masculine Christmas cards to share with you today. Scroll down for Card #2.

Card #1
My first card features an image from Digi Stamps 4 Joy called King 1 - Time to Go, which is the stamp for their Monthly Christmas Challenge. I added a star from Clip Art Best and coloured with my Prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up and the DP is from MME.  The dies are Spellbinders Eyelet Circles and Nellie's Multiframe Circles.  I followed the sketch at Christmas Cards with Sketches. Kraft cardstock is Recollections.  I kept it CAS with no embellishments since it's for a man.

Card #2
Here's my second card, which I made using an image from a Christmas card I received last year.  I hate to throw away a beautiful card when it can be recycled and enjoyed again!  So here I simply mounted the image from the old card on dark brown cardstock, added some red ribbon, mounted on a kraft panel, stamped a sentiment (Paper Pleasures), and voila - a quick and easy card.  I kept the bow simple and added no embellishments because this card is for a man.


I would like to enter my second card in these challenges:
Moving Along with the Times Snow Cute 3E #1
Party Time Tuesday Anything Goes 2E #1
Sparkles Christmas Baby It's Cold Outside 3E #1

Lion and Lamb

Hi, everybody, a very warm welcome to my newest follower, ikesart, so nice to have you here! I'm trying to get my progressive challenge cards finished before the end of the month.  I still have one more to do after this one!  Today I've made a boy's birthday card featuring Lion and Lamb by Gerda Steiner Designs.  I coloured the sweet image with my Prismacolor pencils and added a cute sentiment from QKR Stampede. The birthday stamp is a wood-mount from The Old Island Stamp Company and the patterned paper is from MME.  The sun die is from Joy! Craft.  I kept embellishments to a minimum since it's for a boy.
