I had so much fun with the scallop challenge.....



I had so much fun with the scallop challenge at Caardvark's that I had to make another card. The first card looks better in real life, but my color combinations did not photograph well. I choose black and white for my second card. I feel much better about this card.

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) and Bazzill
DSP: Unknown
tools: Su's Sm. flower punch, Mega scallop punch, paper pierce tool and 1 3/8 circle punch. I also used my scallop scissors for the scallop trim on the bottom of the card. The ribbon is May Arts and dimensionals were used for the scallop flower.

Caardvarks Scallop Challenge


I made this card for Caardvarks Scallop Challenge. This is a small card, only 4X4. I used my scalloped scissors for the top and bottom borders on this card and my scallop punch for the center piece. This card looks better IRL(in real life) than it does on my monitor. I took 14 pictures of this little card and I didn't care for either one. The Sm. flower stickers are from K&Co. ribbon from May Arts and cardstock is Stampin Up. I also used my paper piercing tool and my Signo pen to apply the faux stitching.
Thank you for stopping by:)

A card without a sentiment is a breeze....Jen's Sham Battle


A card without a sentiment is a breeze for me because I always get "stuck" on what to say. So when I read that Jen's Challenge this week is a card without a sentiment, I jumped on it! The card is self-explanatory, a kitten playing with yarn, (the rules are that readers are supposed to understand what is going on with the card.)

cardstock: //www.papertreyink.com">Papertrey Ink(white) and SU's Old olive
DSP: Dream Designs
stamp: High Hopes Rubber Stamps
ribbon: ribbon stash
inks: Palette(black) and H2O pencils and my markers to enhance colors

DCM & JBWW Challenges


I combined two challenges into one. DCM current challenge is "frame it" and JBWW Sunday Weekly Challenge is based on a sketch image by Sherry Cheever. I made my card according to the sketch and applied a frame to it.
The cardstock is SU's Chocolate Chip and DSP is Basic Grey's Infuse and Papertrey Ink White. The stamp is by High Hopes Rubber Stamps and the sentiment is by Verve Visual. I use my Prismacolor Pencil and OMS to color image. I also used my markers to outline my colored images. The frame is a dye-cut from my Sizzix Machine. To embellish my card I used Prima Sprites, Copper mini-brads from Making Memories, Chocolate Ribbon from SU and a I used Gold Glimmer Mist on the final Card.
