Roses Are Red...

Here's a card I made today with *Wink *Wink Ink's Kitty Temptation stamp. I colored her in with Prismacolor pencils and blended it with Gamsol. I used all Die Cuts With a View paper, a crochet flower I got from a gal on Etsy, and used my Nestabilities for those square on the upper left hand corner. I typed out the little verse on Microsoft Word and printed it out on cardstock.

I used a Roxie sketch from Splitcoast Stampers.

I used all Pink/Brown papers to participate in the Simon Says challenge this week.

To play with Cute Card Thursday in their "All New" challenge I used *Wink *Wink Ink's new stamp, "Kitty Temptation".

Also, I achieved "Love WithOUT Hearts" so as to play with Saturday Spotlight.

Last, but not least, I did plenty of layering for "L is for Layering" over at ABC Challenge.

Thanks for visiting! :)

A Late Christmas Card (Or Early!)

When the idea of making a Christmas card with this alien stamp entered my head, I just had to make it! This stamp from *Wink *Wink Ink is SO versatile! I colored him/her in with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol. The sentiment is from Flourishes. All the papers are from Die Cuts With a View and the ribbon is made by Offray. Today, I used the awesome sketch Cute Card Thursday provided:


Also, since this is a Christmas card (my favorite thing to celebrate), I believe I qualify for Charisma Cardz challenge this week, "Celebrations!"

So, what do you think? I absolutely LOVE comments and appreciate any you find time to leave any!

Oh! And remember to check out the amazing blog candy over at my friend, Melanie's blog, *Wink *Wink Ink! :o) All of her handcrafted items look even more astounding in person!

Hugs!

Introducing *Wink *Wink Ink

I definitely didn't get this one done on time to use natural lighting for the pictures, but at least I finally got a card done, right? :) I've been so busy with packing, holiday stuff, and raising four children that I just couldn't seem to get much done lately in the way of crafting!

Anyway, I used the card sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges:

Both the alien and earth stamps are from my friend, Melanie's new digital stamp company, *Wink *Wink Ink. Aren't they cool? I must admit, I'm a bit disappointed in my photography tonight, though, because not only did I not do this card justice (it looks so much better in person), but I didn't do *Wink *Wink Ink's alien justice! Ah well - I will give it another try tomorrow! I'm already in the process of making two more alien cards. I really should move on to Melanie's other stamps, but I'm just having so much fun with this alien. Isn't it fabulous? You're all going to love her other stamps, too. I promise!

I used Prismacolor pencils to color in the stamps and blended with Gamsol. All papers are from Die Cuts With a View. Oh, and I typed out the sentiment in Microsoft Word and printed it out. :)
