I'm entering my card in the Cute Card Thursday challenge 35
Papertake Weekly Challenge
And the SimonSaysBlog Monday challenge.

I used a brand-new (to me!) stamp by The Greeting Farm. The buttons and washi tape are old stuff from my stash, and to think of it, so is the paper! Card is 6" by 4".
Supplies used:
stamp : Dollie with Bow by The Greeting Farm
papers by Simple Stories
Copics R20, R21, R22, Y17, Y18, E50, E51, E53

Today I'm sharing a card front I've been too lazy to add to a card base. How lazy do I have to be, anyway? The image was colored a few days ago and I didn't know what to do with it until I saw some inspiration at the split coast stampers gallery and decided to keep it simple. I'll add this when finished to a split coast stamper challenge for Hope You Can Cling To, a challenge about things you can hang on to. In this case, it was the basket handle that meets the challenge guidelines.

I don't know which Copic colors I used because I went and lost the scrap of paper I jotted them down on. The image was colored based on the back of the cling stamp by Penny Black; thank goodness they show a colored image for me to copy, otherwise I'd have been lost at coloring this beautiful image!
I used a really old Provocraft embossing folder. It might be called spots and dots if I remember correctly. The white card stock is by SU! and the black by PTI. The jute is by Tim Holtz. I used some star dust stickles on the blue flowers, but the picture doesn't show.

Slightly improved version of the previous card:

I added Studio Calico wood veneers colored with gelatos and a black mat instead of hand doodling. Used the same stamps and colors and adhesive pearls. 

Supplies: Copics G07, YG67, B01, B02, B05, B06, B18
gelatos by Faber Castell
stamp is by Penny Black from a set called flower festival; sentiment is from Pink Paislee's Spring Jubilee set
also used Stampin' Up! white card stock and PTI black card stock


Thanks for looking!

Today I am sharing a card I made just because. I'm practicing my wow factor and the placement of lots of embellishments. I believe that to be successful I will have to switch to larger, square cards. The cards I see and love are packed with beautiful flowers and lots of tidbits. What to do with these cards? Well, they're for sale if anyone happens to like one of mine enough to want it. Just let me know.
