Peaceful Birthday

I know, I know I said that I wasn't going to use purple but.... this card needed the violet! I also know that I have been very into cutting lately and it is another pop up the elements card. I just love these images from Theresa in her "Sending Sunshine" stamp set sold by GinaK. Those blossoms on the tree were just begging to be popped up. I also needed a birthday card for Saturday so here it is. I will also enter this card in the SSCC challenge #32 again since they wanted the popped up images - aha - they started me on this journey of cutting and finding the tiniest little bits of pop dots to get them to stand out just right! All that tiny cutting does leave time for reflection - a good thing for this holiest of weeks. This is also for the StampTV sketch challenge. This has been a good week of stamping for me, I love it when the mojo is running! Hope to have another one tomorrow.

Flopsy Tea Time

I had this bunny colored for quite a while waiting for just the right moment. I just found Flopsy (MFT) and realized that it would be perfect for a card for my friend who introduced me to peppermint tea. I now love tea and think of her every time I drink some. So a card was born. I used some scraps that I had and put on a new stamp from GinaK Sending Sunshine for the daffodil.  The card will go in the mail tomorrow, on it's way to WI. I popped up the bunny and the blooms in the flower and some of the words. I colored everything with my Copic markers. This card is for a layout challenge on StampTV and a challenge on SSCC to pop up the elements. Melanie also has a challenge up for using scraps. This card qualifies for that too.  Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Message

I know that I have used a lot of purple lately - I must say that the Vibrant Violet card stock from GinaK is absolutely wonderful. It is slightly textured and so rich looking. The card I made today is for several challenges. This being Holy Week and the fact that I will be at church 4 times I may not have many opportunities to and/or post. This card was made with the new StampTV stamp set called Spring Mix. It has so many wonderful images in it. The first challenge is for the color challenge on StampTV, the layout of the card is for the Card Patterns Sketch Challenge and on Stamping Sisters in Christ the challenge was to pop up some elements of the card, called Paper Tole technique. So here is my card for the 3 challenges. Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed Easter week.
