Clean and Simple

 Well, this card I kept clean and simple for the challenge at The Sugar Bowl. They had a sketch and the theme of clean and simple. And I think black and white with just a splash of green is pretty clean and simple. Not to mention I just love this stamp. I used the DP from an old SEI paper pack I had I believe. I painted in the colors using my Prisma Color markers, adding ink with my clear blender, I like the softer look it offers that way. At The Charisma Challenge site they were asking for Black and White and a splash of color and at Stamp Something they asked for something with flowers. My DP has flowers on it and my little girl is holding a pretty little boquet herself. Have a great weekend.

You're an angel

At Stampavie they had the criss cross card for their challenge. I always liked making these, so I thought I would take it on. At Flutterby Wednesdays it was Anything Goes as long as you have an angel or fairy on your creation. At Challenge Up Your Life, their challenge was to have scripture in the background, which I stamped on my cardstock and on my patterned paper. At Jane't Corrosive Challenge Blog, she wants us to Button It up, so I added some button flair to the top of my insert to make it easier to grab at. And then there is Whiff of Joy, and Simon Says,  with Love is in the Air, and with this lovely angel blowing  kisses, you can't get anymore love in the air. I used my Whiff of Joy Sugar Nellie stamp, some of my patterned paper still lying around and on my angels' pants, I cut them all apart and dropped a bit of ink all over my craft pad to create a "tye dye" look to them, that is inspired by my friend Jennifer at the Dragonfly Tea Cottage. She makes the coolest tye dye goodies, check her out if you haven't already.Just so you know, her web site does her no justice, she has amazing works of art there for sale besides amazing food and delicious tea!! Hugs to you all!!

Adore my Sweet Nellies

Well, I have not gotten a lot done, but I do like the way my card turned out. I used one of my favorite Sugar Nelly stamps. I went for a few challenges with this one along with making sure it fit all the criteria for the Operation Write Home project. It will not get to any soldier in time for Valentine's day, but I made it with no red or pink so it can just be for any loved one at any time.
At The Sugar Bowl, I used their sketch. I changed it a little, but not too much. I just liked the way the Adore on the paper looked there, as opposed to on the bottom like on the beautiful sketch they provided.
At Crafts 4 Eternity you were to use Polka dots.
At Fussy and Fancy Fridays you needed to make a Valentine type card with no red or pink.
At Prarie Fairie Fridays you were to make a sweet heart card.
At Charisma you were to make a love/valentines card.
And at Winterwonderland, you were to use the sentiment as the main.
So this is my first card in the box for the OWH project only about 99 more to go!!
