Berry Sweet

Hello! Today I have two cards using the same stamp set and designer papers but different layouts and sentiments. I'm still on my strawberry kick as you can see from my last post here so why not go with it right? I used the My Favorite Things stamp set Who's That Harvesting Girl to create these cards along with some October Afternoon designer paper. On both cards I colored the images using my Copic markers and paper pieced the shirts, I also added some crystal effects to the strawberries to give them some shine. Overall I kept them clean and simple looking with the image being the main focus.

Supplies: Who's That Harvesting Girl - MFT, October Afternoon DP, Ribbon, Button, Bakers twine, Brads, Medium Scallop Border - TE, Copics, Circle punches, Crystal Effects, Foam tape. Colors: Garden Green, Real Red.

Have a great day!

SSSC112 - Well Preserved

It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! For my card today I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Friendship Jar and Bitty Background Blocks and the SU set Tart & Tangy for the strawberry. I love this October Afternoon designer paper with the sweet strawberries, flowers and bumble bees on it, it reminds me of when we take our kids strawberry picking in June (I'm so ready for summer).

To play along create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then go to Karen’s blog The Sweetest Thing and link your card so we can all see your creation!

SSSC111 - Bundle of Joy

I'm late with posting my Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge card today due to our Internet being down yesterday but I guess it's better late than never right? That and you would think it would teach me not to be so last minute in getting my card posted.

I'm sure you're going to love this weeks sketch as much as I do, Karen came up with a fun sketch with lots of layers! So you have to play along :) The card that I created for the sketch is a baby card which I used the sweet Tina Wenke Mouse in Nutboat image. I used my Copics to color in this image and even though its difficult to see I added glitter to the butterfly and dragonflies and used a Glaze pen to add shine to all the little bugs. I always find it so fun adding all the details to a card like this, buttons, glitter, ribbon, a little bit of glaze or gloss.

Supplies: Mouse in Nutboat Tina Wenke, Mega Mixed Messages - PTI, True Blue DP My Minds Eye, Copics, Nesties, Ribbon, Buttons, Scallop border punch, Glitter, Glaze pen. Colors: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron.
