Greeting Farm Ryan

I have another card today.  Wow, this is my second card today.  I had a lot of fun with this card.  This is for a sketch challenge over at Simon Says Stamps Challenge.  The challenge for this week is a sketch challenge.

This is such a fun sketch to work with.  I used The Greeting Farm's Ryan, such a fun image to play with. 

I used Basic Grey's Oxford paper.  I just found this at my LSS last night and just had to try this paper.  The word is from TAC and the flowers are paper flowers from Forever in Time.  I colored Ryan with Prismacolor Markers, Tri-Art markers and copic markers.
I am just starting my copic collection, I have the markers to do his hair and skin.  So you will probably see lots of brunettes in my cards until I can get some new markers.  I am loving these copics, I was not ready for these markers when I first bought my prismacolor markers, but I am finally advancing enough that I am ready for more challenges with coloring.  I am learning to shade, it is slow but getting there.
Thanks for looking, enjoy the company.

Have a Grape Day

I am back with another card for you today.  This one is a House Mouse card, another one of my addictions.  I love these cute little guys.  This one is for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.  This week's challenge #98 is summer.  With this in mind, I chose our little friends with grapes, a very refreshing and definitely summer fruit. 

On this card I used the Stampabilities House Mouse Grape Lunch stamp, also used Stampabilities Grape Day word stamp.  The paper is an unknown from my stash.  Paper flowers from Forever in Time.  Micro brads from my stash.  The purple cardstock is Bazzill and white cardstock Georgia Pacific with memento ink.

I colored our little friends with Prismacolor Markers, Tri-Art Markers and Copics.

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting, as I love company.

Fancy Anya

Time for another challenge card.  This time I have gone to the Basic Grey Challenges.  The challenge this week is to use Hot Pink, Lime Green and Kraft/Brown.  Of course you must you a Basic Grey item.
I picked Fancy Anya, colored her with prismacolor pencils with oms.  I used the Basic Grey paper pad,
Euphoria.  The sentiment is TAC.  The brads and buttons are both also from Basic Grey.

Thank you for visiting and hope you have a Blessed Day.

Another Challenge Card

One of these days I will get it together and be able to make one card and have it fit several challenges at one time.  But since I haven't learned that art yet, (as I am still looking at the different challenges to decide which ones to partcipate in on a regular basis), so here is a challenge card for Danni's Flutterby Wednesday.
Danni and her DT come up with some awesome cards.  This week's challenge was to use pink, orange and green.  And of course don't forget to have an butterfly, fairy or angel on the card.
I went with flowers and a butterfly today.

I chose a Stampa Rosa stamp from 1999 for the image.  I embossed the outline as I stamped it.  Colored it with my prismamarkers.  Paper is from SEI, Jocelyn series.  Butterfly is from K&Company.  The ribbon and brad buttons are from my stash.

Thanks for coming by and looking.

Black, White & Red Challenge

I was able to get another challenge card made this evening.  This one is a Christmas card.
This card is for the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  The challenge this week is Black, White and
one other color.  No more than this.  Now since I am not one to make a lot of different projects, I
opted to make a card since I am going to need Christmas cards and these challenges are a great way to
get your cards made.

Here is my card for this challenge:

 

The stamp is from Stampin' Up called City of David.  I love this set.  A very simple set, but elegant in

its simplicity.  The white paper is my normal Georgia Pacific cardstock, the black and red are from my

stash.  Also used a red sparkle embossing powder, white micro brads, and my nesties.



Cupcake Anya - Challenge Card

I have decided to start entering some of the challenges that are out in cyber land.  It can be a bit of an intimating task.  There are so many very talented people out there making cards, but hey, we all have to start somewhere.

I picked the Simon Says Stamp! Challenge Blog for this particular card.  This week's challenge was bingo!!!!
Since I love bingo, I figured this would be a very good challenge try.

I picked the top row - buttons, eyelets, flowers.  Everyone was working with images from The Greeting Farm.  Since I have fallen in love with these images, I wanted to use this also.

My image is a digital image called Cupcake Anya.  I used Basic Grey's Cupcake paper.  The eyelets, buttons and flowers are all items from my stash.  Anya is colored with both prismacolor markers and copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Here is Ian

I had this little card on my desk half finished last night and thought I would get it finished before starting something new today.  I am so loving these Greeting Farm images, but i believe I have said this several times in the last few days.
Anyway here is Ian:

Ian was colored with copic and prisma markers.The paper is all paper from my stash and then I added dew drops for a touch.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for looking.

3rd Post Today & A Challenge Card for Christmas Stampin' All Year Long

I have been having fun all weekend as you can tell from the amount of cards I have been putting on the blog.
This card is for the challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  The challenge this week was to make a fun card to give a child this holiday season.
I really was having trouble with this one.  The first card I posted today, I thought about using, but hubby said, nah, not quite a card for a child.  So, I thought about it and looked at the challenge again and noticed that MacKenzie used an image from The Greeting Farm.  Well, I love those stamps and got an idea. 
I used Ryan from The Greeting Farm, the paper is from Basic Grey's Eskimo kisses, cardstock is SU and I used prismamarkers and copic markers to color.  Button is from my stash.
Hope you enjoy the card I made for the challenge.

Mini Magnolia

Here is my first mini Magnolia.  I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with her at first, but was scanning through my cardmaker magazine and saw a layout that sparked this card.
All the supplies on this card are from my stash.  The butterfly is from a set by K&Company. 
Thanks for looking.
