Blessing card - Crafter's Companion

Popping in today to share this happy, springtime card I created for Crafter's Companion...  It just makes me smile with the adorable stamped image from Barkley Everyday called Special Friend.  The bright and springy colors remind me of this time of the year when my tulips are just starting to open and the daffodils are popping up all over the place.  I love spring time in the Rocky Mountain area!

I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir AquaBlend colored pencils using the colors of sky blue, oregano, kiwi, bison, ebony, dove grey, iron grey, beeswax, wheat, petunia, papaya, watermelon, cherry, soft red and carrot.  A cute sentiment from the same stamp set, and lots of pretty patterned paper brought this one together!

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

Moving Along With the Times - springtime flowers
Simon Says Stamp - let's do polka dots
Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - anything goes

Thanks for coming by today and remember to stop and smell the flowers this spring!

Hugs,
Jodi

Good morning from beautiful Colorado!  It's getting close to Christmas and I am finally feeling kinda ready for it.  How about you?

I will be sharing quite a few last minute Christmas card makes this week starting with this adorable one using another fun stamp from Crafter's Companion.  The stamp is from Barkley and is called Christmas Festive Fun.  I stamped him on Spectrum Noir watercolor paper, then used the Spectrum Aqua markers to add some color to the image.  I then put some of the Spectrum Sparkle Crystal Clear ink over the top of the snow scene to give it extra sparkle and shine.  I also added some extra glitter along the bottom.  It turned out very festive and fun.  I love using non-traditional colors for Christmas!

Here's the list of Crafter's Companion products I used:
Spectrum Aqua Markers - burgundy, begonia, wildflower, tan, boulder, charcoal, moss, peacock blue.
Spectrum Sparkles - Crystal clear
Stamp - Barkley - Christmas Festive Fun
Spectrum Noir watercolor paper

I will be adding this to some challenges:
