Merry and Bright Wishes

Hi and Happy Post-Labor Day. I hope you had a good week-end. We had a very busy one and I finally got around to getting this card uploaded to post. I did this card for the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #3, and to add to my Christmas card inventory. The challenge was to use two DP's, three flowers and some sparkle. My Swiss Pixie is a C.C. Design image and I colored her with Copics. My background paper was created with Glitter Ritz Microfine in "Cool Highlight" and Be Creative Sheets, and then punched with my Martha Stewart edge punch. The DP's are Memory Box and the flowers are All White Mini Delphiniums from Petaloo, purchased from 7 Kids CF and found here. I colored them with my Copics. I used half pearls for the centers. Thanks for stopping by. I have a series of cards to share with you of images that I just fell in love with, so be watching for them.

Tent Cards and a Challenge

I followed the SCS tutorial this week and made two tent cards. The first one I am entering into the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge which is "Strip it Down", meaning no more than 2 layers of DP. I used my Max and Whiskers papers from Basic Grey and this adorable High Hopes image called Groundhog Gordon which can be found here.










My second one is also a High Hopes image although I don't see that 7 Kids has it right now, but it also has only 2 layers of DP and I love that image, so I'm at least sharing it as an SCS entry. Here is another view so that you can glimpse the tent form. I used a Just-Rite 3-1/4" border on the second one. I loved doing these tent cards and love the fact that the cards can be displayed since they stand up on their own. I'm thinking of making the second one for a parting gift to my Sunday School kids to give them on Promotion Sunday. I am soooo wanting to use images I've never had a chance to use yet, and these are two of them so hey, I've at least started. I hope you've had a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.
