Top Secret Valentine Mission

 

This owl is on a Mission! 

To deliver Valentine treats and wishes!

Isn't he the cutest thing? I have been really racking my brain trying to come up with a cute (but not too cute!) V-day card for my 11 year old nephew.  This is what I came up with.  Hopefully a camouflage owl will make him smile.

All of the paper is cardstock cut with Spellbinders and/or embossed with my cuttlebug.  The darling owl stamp is from The Craft's Meow and the bracket is from Jillibean Soup.

Love You Most!

 

My card was directly inspired by this card on the Deconstructing Jen blog.  I did not realize how my brain had hooked on to her card until after I made my card... then while be-bopping around in Pintrest I saw Jen's card again.  Whoops! So while I still want to post the card I made I have to give a shout out to Jen for inspiring my subconscious completely! You rock lady! :)

Thanks for the inspiration!

The image is Wryn (again!) from Tiddly Inks

Paper is by WRMK

Today's challenge at Charisma Cardz is Things with Wings.  

My first thought was to play with my fairy stamps, but then I remembered 

buying this cute set from The Craft's Meow ~ it's called

Happy Owlentines Day.

Hope you can play along with us this week!

I think it could be used for lots of other times during the year as well. ;)

The image is colored with Copics and the design is fairly basic because I wanted the image to really stands out.  The cardstock is from Stampin Up and the pink layer is embossed to give some extra dimension.

Valentine Wryn

 

Thank goodness for Wryn from Tiddly Inks! 

This little lady has pulled me out of my anti-card making mood twice!

Today's card is super simple but still sweet. :) 

The papers are from WRMK and one sheet came with all these cool oblong squares ~ which are awesome!

Wryn is colored with Copics and the sentiment was cut from the the WRMK's paper.

Hope you have a great day!

Bellaric Kraftiness

 

 Do you know what today is???? It's Bellarific Friday of course! My card is base on the Bellariffic Sketch to the right.  I used lots of blacks and pinks because they were so handy all spread out across my desk. :) The image is stamped on a light colored kraft paper and then colored with Copics.

Pretty In Pink

 

Today we have a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz Challenges ~ Pretty In Pink.  Here is my card ~ and what a difficult card it was to photograph!   I have taken too many photo's of it to count and this is the best shot I got.  It must be the bling the made it so difficult? That's what I'm going with anyway. :)

I used MME Lost and Found 2 Blush paper with some very cherished (or ancient) Prima swirls.  With You was added at the bottom using a partially masked off Verve stamp.  The big filigree brad is from Stampin Up and the ribbon from May Arts. 

This card will soon be winging it's way through the postal service to my mom...

cause you gotta let your mom know you love her! :)

Challenges Entered:

Friends always have secrets...

 

I adore Saturated Canary digi stamps! They are so cute and fun to color! :) 

The paper is some new My Mind's Eye that is perfect for valentine or vintage feeling cards. The edges are distressed and then inked, though you can hardly tell after I covered most of them up. Lol! The ticket sentiments (and die)  are from Whimsy Stamps and the doilies are Martha Stewart ones that were glittery white until I added a heavy dose of inking to them. :) The cutie patootie girls are colored with Copics.  I think that's about it ~ hope you have a wonderful day!

Hpppy Birthday dear Charisma!

 

Congratulations on your 3rd birthday!

To celebrate we are having a Happy Birthday Challenge with loads of sponsors!

So get your projects linked up to the Charisma Cardz Challenge blog and play along! :)

My card feature Wryn from Tiddly Inks.  I fell in love with her the first time I saw her... what a cutie! 

She is colored up with copics and resides on a base of Basic Grey Out of Print paper and Stampin Up cardstock.  The flower was cut from the Out of Print dp and popped up for some dimension as was the sentiment (which came with Wryn ~ Yea!). The sparkle was added with Stickles. 

Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Somewhere....

 Over the Rainbow... this is the fun new challenge at Charisma Cardz. :) I just moved and so everything is in disarray in my craft room so I took the easy route on this card.  I searched the web for free rainbow clip art and a rainbow sentiment.  I printed out two of the background images so that the sentiment cloud could be layered to give some added dimension. It was fun and very freeing to make a card this way! I hope you can join us this week as we have some fabulous sponsors ~ Simon Says Stamp and Crimson Cloud.  Have a great day!
