Challenge #4- Green | Tiki Gnomes

Today starts Challenge #4 in my Facebook group. Challenge #4 is a color challenge: Use Green!! I originally thought about making St. Patrick's Day cards, and I still might, but then decided to show some other "green" you could use.



I went with a Tiki theme for these cards to show that green is more than St. Patrick's Day!



I think the Build A Booth is one of my favorite dies from Jaded Blossom. It's just so versatile!




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Challenge Week 2

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the second week the theme is Pink and Green.

I looked through my stash and decided to use the Valentine Sweetwees since it is Valentine's Day! They are so cute!

I used the Frames & Tags die from Newton's Nook for the layout with some Doodlebug papers. I wanted the little Sweetwee who is colored with copics to stand out a bit from the background (plus it's a different pink for her balloon/lollipop) so I embossed an oval with a favorite embossing folder, Swiss Dots.

I finished off the card with a few bits from This Calls For Confetti and added some white gel pen highlights.





Have a sweet day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Happiest Bee-Day!

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 15~

I chose the super fun Bee-Hold stamp set from Unity Stamps for my focal image and built the card around that fun bee with papers and pearls from my stash.
