Coral Butterflies

I created this card for the Dynamic Duo and the Paper Players 143: Anna's Sketch challenges:

The papers are from PaperTrey and SEI. The butterflies are Hero Arts images and they were stamped with Cameo Coral ink and cut out with matching Sizzix dies. I added coral rhinestones and embossed across the middle of the card front with a Sizzix border embossing folder.  I also scored a line on each side of the border.

Dynamic Duos HB Card

I needed a birthday card for a friend and I thought he would appreciate this image and sentiment.  I used the colors for the Dynamic Duos challenge: Bashful Blue and Pumpkin Pie. 

I colored in the hat with the SU! markers and paper pieced the balloons with papers from MME Tangerine.  The owl was colored with Memento markers.

Dynamic Duos 47

I really love this image for paper piecing - besides the fact that it is so cute!  Anyway I created this for the Dynamic Duos 47 challenge:  Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler:

I stamped the Paper Smooches image onto the PTI light blue patterned paper and then onto patterned paper from Farm House and white card stock for paper piecing the kite and the clouds.  I left room at the bottom for a sentiment when I decide what I am going to use this for.

Birthday Wishes

I created this card for several challenges:  Dynamic Duo 45 - Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose:

 

the SCS Featured Stamper - Jennifer Timko and the SCS CAS213 challenge to use line art images - no solid stamps.  I cased Jennifer's Birthday Balloons card.  I reduced the amount of layers but kept the essence of her layout.  The poppies image is from Hero Arts and the sentiment is from PaperTrey Faux Ribbons set.  I used patterned papers from MME.

Happy Mother's Day

I created this card for three challenges:  the SCS FS317 challenge - to case Suen (Sue); the FTL230 sketch and the Dynamic Duos #42 color challenge.  I was inspired by two of Sue's cards in particular:
CAS89 Snowflakes of Another Color and CAS157 Leaves and Butterflies.  I used a Bosskutz flower die, a PTI daisy die for the flower centers and a WPlus9 leaves die.  The sentiment is a rub-on from my stash.

Soaring By To Say Hi

Wow another post in the same day!  There are a few challenges out there in blogland that I have been wanting to play in and I made this card for three of them:
Cas-ual Fridays:

Dynamic Duos (with dessert):

and Less is More:  Up In The Air - For this we would love to see aircraft, rockets, balloons etc, although if you have none of this sort of image then we would like to see how inventive you can be with the theme.

I used a new to me stamp from Paper Smooches that includes the clouds and the kite and I paper pieced it with PaperTrey patterned paper.  The sentiment is also from PaperTrey.

Thanks for soaring by!

Dynamic Duos #30

I'm submitting this to the Dynamic Duos #30 challenge: Marina Mist and Silver.  This is one of the Chanukah cards I am making this year to sell at my temple and to send out to friends and family.  All card stock is from PaperTrey Ink as well as the sentiment and the little ripple under the dreidel (that image is from PTI Pond Life).  The dreidel is a plastic charm from Create for Less.

Freshly Made Dynamic Duos

I created this card for two challenges:  Freshly Made Sketches #33:

And for a new challenge, Dynamic Duos #1 (Pool Party and Lucky Limeade):

I thought the Linen Closet papers from DCWV were perfect for the colors.  I substituted Aqua Mist and Spring Moss to stamp the Pretty Posies with.  I added Frosted Lace Stickles to the stamped flower to match the glittered paper.  The image was cut with a Blossom Nestability and I distressed the edges with the Aqua Mist.  I added three aqua pearls for embellishment.
