Vintage Dress Form

I made this card for several challenges: Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge SC325 and CC316: Marina Mist, Certain Celery, Baja Breeze. I used Marina Mist card stock and patterned paper with colors similar to Certain Celery and Baja Breeze. I also made this card for Speedy's Friends #48: dry embossing, ink embossing, and part of the image raised. For this card, I used the dress form stamp from the "Sew What?" stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers.

Tea For Two

I made this card for two challenges at Splitcoaststampers: sketch challenge SC326 and CAS112.  For CAS112, we were to cut up the sentiment.  For this card, I used the "Floral Tea" stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers.  The papers used are Crushed Curry and patterned papers by Crate Flower.  I used a scrap of decorative lace trim that I found in one of my ribbon boxes.

Sacked out Kitty

I made this card for sketch challenge STVSKSP19 at Stamp TV.  I used a digital kitty image from Clear Dollar Stamps.  I just love this little kitty!  He is all sacked out after eating all of the kitty chow!  I printed the image then colored it with Copic markers.  I used several cat-themed patterned papers and a paw print border punch.

Bee Happy

I made this card for the One Layer Wednesday challenge #47, which was a sketch challenge.  I am also entering this card in this week's Stampin B's challenge #104.  We were to use stamps as a background and not use patterned papers.  For this card, I used the "Happy Pansies" stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers.  I used the bee stamp to create the background.  I traced around two Spellbinders dies to create the frame.  With it being a one layer card, I was unable to use layered papers.  In the center of the frame, I stamped the small pansy stamp and one of the sentiments from the stamp set. 

Mouse with Flowers

I made this card for two challenges at Splitcoaststampers: sketch challenge SC326 and WT316.  For WT316, we were to use flowers.  On my card, I used floral patterned paper, a sunflower Spellbinders die, and a flower stamp.  The stamps used us for this card are "Greet the day with Gerber" by Mark's Finest Papers.  The card stock and ribbon are also from Mark's Finest Papers.  The patterned papers are by Graphic 45.  I think this is such a sweet little mouse!

Playful Kitty

I made this card for FS216 at Splitcoaststampers.  I cased a card by Quixotic on SCS.  I replaced the dog with a digital kitty image from Clear Dollar Stamps.  I used a cute cat-themed patterned paper and a ribbon with paw-prints.  I decided to make an orange cat to look like my cat Sparky.  I like the way it turned out, but it is much darker than Sparky. 

Spring in Holland

I made this card with the Holland stamp set by Class Act Inc.  I used sketch STVSKSP18 from Stamp Tv.
This sketch lends itself well to these images.  I used the colors from challenge #134 at the Color Throwdown challenge: Old Olive, Marina Mist, and Pumpkin Pie.  In addition to these colors, I added Daffodil Delight.  I completed the card by adding a ribbon and strip of half pearls.
