Seeing Green


Flutterby Wednesday - FBW146 Color Green and/or Carly's Sketch #26
Sketches by Carly - Sketch #26
SCS Clean and Simple - CAS110 Out of the Box
Sentimental Sundays - #46 Go Green
Creative Card Crew - Green
This week at Flutterby Wednesday we want to see you using the color green and/or Carly's Sketch #26 for your creation with a butterfly, fairy or angel.  I chose to combine the challenges on my card using Dandy Wishes from Paper Makeup Stamps.  I have used some yummy papers from Paper Temptress again - Basis Light Green and Emerald Metallic.  I love how sparkly the Metallic cardstock is!  And if you click on the photo for a close-up, you can see the stickles on the dandelions better.  {grin}  And here is my acrostic for the Raise the Bar G.R.E.E.N. challenge (isn't that a clever idea?!) Great sketch, Ribbon, Embossed panel, Emerald metallic paper, New stickles.

Thanks for fluttering by today and I hope you'll play along with Flutterby Wednesday this week!  {wink}

Curvy Cookies

Raise the Bar - #43 Curves
Sweet Stop Sketch - SSS80

Today's challenge at
Raise the Bar is curves and I was invited to be a guest Bar-Tender and play along! {grin} I've been in a chocolate chip cookie mood, so I pulled out the set called So Sweet by Paper Makeup Stamps. The cookies were embossed on watercolor paper and colored in with an aquapainter and ink.

For my layout I used this week's
Sweet Stop Sketch, changing the squares to circles. The polka dotted chocolate paper is from October Afternoon and I used a MFT die for the jumbo scallops.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the beary best!

Scooter Chloe


Sparkle Creations - SCRSC17 Sketch
Mercy's Tuesday Sketch - MTSC98
Raise the Bar - #42 Go, Go, Go (Vehicles)
Sentimental Sundays - #27 Birthdays

I had so much fun using Mercy's sketch yesterday that I wanted to make another card with it. Mercy is a guest designer at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps this month and her sketch is doing double duty for SCRS challenge too.

I embossed Scooter Chloe on watercolor paper and colored her in with an aquapainter and ink. I thought with the presents that she is carrying, Chlole would be a perfect choice for a birthday card. The sentiment is from the Birthday Cheer set by Paper Makeup Stamps. Papers are from Cosmo Cricket.

Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you all the beary best!
