Stella Says Sketch -- Bunny Style!

 It's Sunday, and over on the Catch the Bug Blog, a new Stella Says Sketch Challenge is starting today.  It's all for Bugaboo Stamps, of course! 

I'll show you my card first, the image I used, and eventually show you this week's sketch.  I promise!

Since Easter is so close, I thought I'd make another Easter card for today's challenge.  I used the darling Easter Bunny - Eggs digital image to create this:

I colored Easter Bunny - Eggs with Copic markers.

Here's the new sketch at Stella Says Sketch:

The current challenge will run for 2 weeks.

The papers that I used on this card are from AMB Illustrations.  I found some darling Easter papers there.  The acrylic stamp is from Crafter's Companion.  The enamel dots were from Close To My Heart.

Join us over at Catch the Bug Blog for Stella Says Sketch!

Hello Spring! For Paper ala Mode Challenge

Hellooooooo spring!  My favorite season of the year!  We're starting a new challenge today over at The Outlawz.  It's the Saturday Paper ala Mode Challenge.  For the next 2 weeks, the theme is Spring &/or Easter.  Challenges are always sponsored by We Are 3 Digital Shop, and I used her products in the card below:

 I used 2 of the beautiful papers in Margaret's Irises on this card.  There's one on the furthest layer back of the card, and one that the sentiment is one. There is a Margaret's Wreaths layer printed on to one of those Margaret's Irises papers.

The lacy doily dies are by Sharon Callis.  The 'Hello Spring' die is from Crafter's Companion.  The pretty crinkle ribbon is from D.L. Art's Etsy Shop. 

I hope you can join us over at the Outlawz this next 2 weeks for our Paper ala Mode Spring &/or Easter challenge.  I'd love to see what you make, and we've got great sponsors!

Charming Spring Girl

 Happy Thursday, Happy Spring!  This is my 2nd post today, but I don't want to waste anytime getting this up.  While writing a post for an upcoming challenge sponsored by The Paper Shelter today (thank you!), I discovered they are having a DT call.  This is a really big deal as I don't remember the last time they had a call!  The bad news is I discovered it today, and the call ends today.  Well, in-between taking a friend to get her first Covid vaccine and some other commitments, I colored up one of the many Paper Shelter images in my collection, and made it into a card.  I love The Paper Shelter! Their images come with a black & white version, a pre-colored version, background paper, and a composition of a colored image and papers together.  This version is very easy to make into a quick card.

I colored up the darling Charming Spring Girl and created this:

I colored Charming Spring Girl with Copic markers.  She looks like she doesn't know whether to laugh or scream at that bird, doesn't she?  Ah spring, it's full of surprises! 

The background die on this card is by Tutti Designs.  The Stitched oval die she is sitting on is by The Scrapping Cottage.  The floral background paper is by Crafter's Companion.  I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with a sentiment die by Crafter's Companion. 

I'll be linking this up shortly with the Paper Shelter's DT call and the following challenges:

The Paper Shelter -- add flowers (die, papers, hat)

Happy Easter to Ewe! for Bugaboo Stamps & Cute Card Thursday

 It's Thursday!  It's nearly Easter, and Thursday's mean a couple of things.  There's always a new challenge at Cute Card Thursday. The theme this week is Easter.  It's also always Oldie but Goodie day at Catch the Bug Challenges for Bugaboo Stamps. 

I found this darling older stamps at Bugaboo Stamps that I thought would work for both design teams, and thus, both posts, so I am combining them here.  It just so happens Bugaboo Stamps is the awesome sponsor of this week's challenge at Cute Card Thursday! 

Here's Happy Easter to Ewe:

I colored Happy Easter to Ewe with Copic markers, then found a sketch I liked at Sketch Saturday and used it for this card.  The papers are from AMB Illustrations.  The sentiment comes with the Happy Easter to Ewe image. 

Check out what the other talented Bugaboo Stamps designer made for Oldie but Goodie Thursday over on the Catch the Bug Blog. 

I hope you can join us at Cute Card Thursday for our Easter Challenge. You'll find many awesome Easter images in the Bugaboo Stamps Store.  They are such an awesome sponsor!

Sakura in March -- For Ching-Chou Kuik

 Happy Spring, everyone!  Easter is inching ever closer, so I couldn't pass up the chance to color up one of the beautiful floral/Spring images in the Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy Shop. I'm posting on the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration & Challenge Blog. 

For today's inspiration, I used the gorgeous image, Sakura in March:

It is a black & white image that I colored with Copic markers.  That embossed and die cut panel behind her is a die from Anna Griffin.  The cute bunny die cut has been in my stash for a long time, but was purchased from a company called Peachy Cheap. 

There is a challenge underway at the Ching-Chou Kuik Blog.  The theme is Easter &/or flowers. There's still time to join us!  Visit the CCK Blog often for wonderful inspiration! For even more inspiration, try the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook Group.  You'll find another challenge there, too.

Adventure Awaits -- An All Dressed Up Stamps New Release

 Today is the 22nd of the month, and it's the day that I get to feature one of the New Release images at All Dressed Up Stamps.  There are 3 New Releases, so something for everyone!  I had the absolute joy of working with Little Camp for today's New Release: 

I colored Little Camp with a combination of Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Crafter's Companion.  The background paper is also from Crafter's companion.  The wonky stitched die is from Memory Box.  I used some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink around the edge of the image while still in the die. 

You can find all 3 of this month's new releases and many adorable images in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop. 

You can find more inspiration for the New Releases in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Group, and on the All Dressed Up Stamps blog. Check out what the other awesome DT member have created!

Be Happy With What You Have -- for Bugaboo Stamps

 It's Friday, and that means Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps! Every Friday, there is a new freebie, given to you, the Bugaboo Stamps faithful followers for a week.  Then, next Friday, there will be another Freebie!  

Today's freebie is Violet Can.  It is perfect for all your springtime projects and even Easter!

I colored Violet Can with mostly Copic markers, but used a couple Spectrum Noir Triblend brush markers on the checks on the can.

I thought this Violet Can would lend itself well to an easel card, so made this into a circle easel card.  The tone-on-tone checked paper is from AMB Illustrations.  The sentiment is from We Are 3 Digital Shop. It is one of the You Know Sentiments. There are 4 in the set.  

Check out what the other talented Bugaboo Stamps designers have made with today's freebie over at Catch the Bug Blog. Then, come back tomorrow for the start of a new challenge.  You can always use your freebie to enter the challenge!
