Penny Black 'Colours of Autumn'

I needed a couple of quick, masculine birthday cards so I decided this cute Penny Black Doggie image would fit the bill! I used last week's and this week's Sketches from SCS (SC330 & SC301) and papers from DCWV 'Amber Autumn Fall Stack Collection'. The Penny Black All Sorts Challenge this month is 'Colours of Autumn', but I didn't need any more Fall Cards, so I made birthday cards with Fall Papers instead. LOL!

Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Buttons, Ribbons, and Bling!'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's challenge is 'Buttons, Ribbons, and Bling! Use any or all'. That sounds like an easy challenge right? Simply make a card or project using at least one digital image and have buttons, ribbon, and/or bling on it. Our sponsor this week is 'Fred, She Said' and they are giving away a $20.00 gift certificate to one lucky randomly chosen winner.

To make my card, I used the 'Fred, She Said' 'Emma the Snow Angel'. I was so drawn to this image because I remember having so much fun making snow angels when I was a little girl. I used a sketch from Verve and papers by Cosmo Cricket. The mitten panel and main image panel are mounted up on dimensionals. I put liquid applique on Emma's hat and boots, and Stickles and Flower Soft on the snow. Here is a close up so you can see the image better.

If you'd like to play along with us this week, simply click on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blinkie in my side bar and it will take you directly to the Challenge Site with further instructions.
Have a great day! Amy

Wink Wink Ink October Challenge "Buttons!"

Hello! Today is the first Monday of the month and time for a new Wink Wink Ink Challenge in the Wink Wink Ink Group located in the Crafter's Digital Art Center. This month's challenge is 'Buttons'. Simply make a card or project with a Wink Wink Ink image and add a button or two!

For my card, I used a brand new Wink Wink Ink image called 'Seasons Tweetings'. I just love this set. It comes with the main image you see below, a Chickadee Border image, and several sentiments. Chickadees are one of my favorite wild birds. I just love how friendly and inquisitive they are.

To make my card I used a sketch from 'I Love to Stamp' and papers from Basic Grey's 'Jovial Paper Pad'. The main image panel is mounted up on dimensionals. I colored the background of the snowman image and the sentiment panel with a Copic Marker. Here is a close up of this sweet image. The button is from My Favorite Things, the ribbon is retired Stampin Up!.

If you'd like to play along with us this month, please join our group at the Crafter's Digital Art Center! You have a whole month to play and a chance at winning some Wink Wink Images, so why not?
Have a great day! Amy
