Here for You

Through the Craft Room Door - TTCRD02 Any Winged Thing

SCS Ways to Use It - WT322 Terrific Trees

SCS Free 4 All - F4A64 Say What?

Have you checked out the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog lately?!  There is so much going on that you don't want to miss! 

1) Friday Freebie is back - yay!  And I've used this week's freebie Word Art on today's card along with Nature's Song.  I thought the two little birds looking at each other fit this heartfelt sentiment.   

2) PMS is sponsoring not one, but two challenges this week!  First, Through the Craft Room Door to use any winged thing.  My winged things are the birds, of course.  Second, Copic Creations to use yellows.  Stay tuned for my yellow Copic Creations card - it's a work in progress right now!  {grin}

3) It's time to search for some new Makeup Artists!  That's right, Paper Makeup Stamps has just posted a design team call and you can go here to read all about it. 

4) Wondering who won the gift certificate from the blog hop or the entire May Release from the sneak peeks?  Check out the PMS blog and scroll down for those announcements!  {wink}

Fairy Queen

SCACD Friends with Heart - Challenge 3 A.R.T.
SCS Free 4 All - F4A61 Orange You Glad

I loved how my last card with the Danni Fairy came out so much, that I decided to CASE myself!  {LOL}  Once again, I've colored my main image {Fairy Queen} in monochromatic gray tones with a pop of color and then glittered her wings.  She just looks stunning with the Ambrosia papers from Basic Grey, don't you think? 

The SCACD challenge is an acronym A.R.T. for Any SCACD stamp, Ribbon and Two Designer Papers.

Thanks for the visit and I wish you all the beary best!

Hello Sunshine!

Splitcoast Queen for a Day - QFTD53 K Dunbrook
Splitcoast Clean and Simple - CAS111 sketch
Splitcoast Free 4 All - F4A57 Inspired by the Sun
Splitcoast Inspiration - IC277 Ruche

As you can see, this card was inspired by a few Splitcoast Challenges.  {grin}  I've had the CAS sketch on my mind all week, I've just flipped it upside down for my purposes.  Then I was struck by a few yellow cards in the SCS gallery from the Queen for a Day challenge.  I have to say that yellow is usually the last color I would reach for, but today I have found it cheery and attractive!  {LOL}  So, of course, when I checked out the Inspiration challenge this Marigold Ring stood out to me.  And how could I not include the Free 4 All challenge when sunny yellow fits it so perfectly!  {wink}  

This week's "Queen for a Day" is Queen Karen, otherwise known as "k dunbrook" on Splitcoast.  Her gallery is full of bright and cheery cards - love it!  I was inspired by Golden Flowers.  I love her yellow background and how she double matted her yellow flowers with black and white layers.  And her sentiment has to do with "sunshine" - perfect!  {grin}

My flower is from the Color It Summer set by Paper Makeup Stamps.  I've colored and outlined it simply with copic markers.  I also went over the petals and leaves with a clear spica glitter pen for some sparkle {that my camera apparently cannot see}.  Hello Sunshine! is one of the many simple sentiments that you can find in the PMS store. 

Thanks for the visit and I wish you a Sunny Day!

Blue Butterfly Wishes

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW138 Open Challenge
Kitchen Sink Stamps - Friday Sketch Carte Challenge FSCC02
SCS Ways to Use It - Butterfly Bliss WT305
SCS Free4All - Texturize Me F4A47
SCS Inspiration - Nail Design IC267

Today's Flutterby Wednesday challenge is an OPEN one ~ Just remember to use your butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation this week! {wink} This is my first card using Kitchen Sink Stamps {KSS}! I've long-admired how detailed their images are when you layer all the pieces in different colors of ink. I followed the KSS sketch this week in their new forum. I used two different embossing folders to fit the Texturize Me challenge. I chose blue for the butterfly on Nail Design 0337 from the Inspiration Challenge.

Thanks so much for fluttering by today!
