CYP 95 - Beary Wishes - Crafty Sentiments

This week has been quite a challenge - that's why I am excited to see Monday come again... It's a new week! Time for a fresh start! Also time for another challenge at Craft Your Passion. This week we got a chance to work with some adorable images from our sponsor Crafty Sentiments - just too cute. Our theme is Beary Wishes - your project must have bears on it. I picked this cutie-patootie image with this sweet fuzzy bear sitting on a giant mushroom. I colored him with my Copics, and distressed the edges with sepia ink. Isn't he precious? I added a bunch of layers of My Minds Eye design papers, a hand-stitched zigzag border and a simple metal sentiment. It's truly a simple design, but it looks like I spent hours. I love that in a card!

Go dust off your bear stamps or hunt through your digi's and find that bear image - then create away and join us at Craft Your Passion Challenges. You'll be entered for a chance to win some great prizes, including images from Crafty Sentiments and a $10 voucher for Robins Nest.

CYP #80 - Pink - Karen's Doodles

Karen's Doodles is the sponsor over at Craft Your Passion Challenges this week. I got this adorable image from them - isn't it just too cute? I colored her with my Copics, sure to use pink for our challenge supporting breast cancer awareness month. I had bought a pair of little girls jeans at our local ARC store the other day just because the embrodery on the legs was sooo cute, but when it came to this card, the pocket seemed a better fit. I added a little silver concho, some distressed patterned papers and some hand stitching to the edges. The sentiment is a Cloud 9 stamp with a simple handwritten note.

Now it's your turn - add pink to your card with two or more images and join us in the fun over at Craft Your Passion - You never know what you might win!

CYP #78 - Anything Goes + Ribbon

Wow...This week really got away from me. Busy busy busy! It's already time for challenge 78 over at Craft Your Passion Challenges. We are doing an anything goes challenge with a twist - your card must have ribbon. I love our sponsor's images so much, I design for her team as well. Delicious Doodles has some great Halloween images, so that's the direction I went this time around. I used four of her images to create this care. It's hard to tell on this photo, but it's really a window card with the gravestones in the background and everything else on the frame in front.

Would love to see your work this week at Craft Your Passion... Come join in the fun - there are tons of prizes, so lots of ways to win.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Make It Monday - #57 - Linky Party

Have a great week!

Just dropping you a line...

I've loved this adorable set from Stampendous for a while now, but have never put them to the ink pad until this card. I got a wonderful RAK from my bestee with a small dollar type stamp in it that had the sentiment "Just dropping you a line..." and I knew I had to put it with these great fishy images. The fish bowl is actually stamped once on the background and once on a transparency. Then I colored the transparency very roughly with a blue water colored Copic. On the background I stamped the castle and bubbles on the bowl image. Then the fish were stamped and cut out separately so I could toll and pop them off the background a little. Then the transparency was laid over the background to give it the "bowl" look. When I went to take a photo of it all, the transparency just wanted to reflect back at me... So, I'm not sure you can really see the effect, but trust me... it's coolio! The papers are a fun set from GCD Studio's called Canta. Fun colors and a little bit of a whimsical feel, just what I was going for.
