Hoppy Birthday

This card was a lot of fun to make. I used 4 challenges as inspiration:
1. FS259 - Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoaststampers - Inspiration from Kim Hahn's gallery (LUVFLOWERS) - she has great cards and my inspiration was this one: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1865448?&cat=500&ppuser=85060. I used the layout, with a few changes, changed the stamp, colors and embellishments. The frog images are from a new digital set by priscillastyles, which can be found here: http://priscillastyles-store.blogspot.com/. The sentiment was done on my computer.
2. C4C120 - Crazy 4 Challenges - child's birthday card;
3. Challenge #75 - embossing - at 2sisterschallengeblog; and
4. Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge 91 - birthday - at Mark's Finest Papers.
I colored the froggies with Copics and dry embossed and sanded the core'dinations brick wall the froggie is sitting on and popped it up on pop dots, so his little feet are hanging over the wall.
Hope you like it as much as I do. tfl

MMSC132 Dream

This card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The beautiful digital image is from priscillastyles-store. I colored her with Copics, fussy-cut her out and popped her up on dimensionals. "dream" is stamped on my "brick" wall done with whitewash core'dinations paper and sanded. The green pearl swirl embellishment is a little gift Priscilla sent me a long time ago, and the beautiful shimmering sheer lavendar ribbon (which doesn't really show up well in the pic, sorry) is from my wedding 5 years ago, which we just celebrated on 11/11/11. tfl

Priscillastyles' Flash the Cat Sugar Crash

I just had to make this card with a new digi stamp from priscillastyles-store! His name is Flash, and he is just too funny! I think he ate too many chocolate mice from his Halloween Trick or Treating. hehe
Priscilla has made another of these with an uncolored mask, and also one

that is not for Halloween. And there is even an "Angel Not" cat. She's also got lots of other new digis on her site, so check it out. I made the sentiment on my computer.

The color scheme is from Papercrafts Connection - Color Inspiration Challenge#9.

Butterfly Blue Patina IC298







This card is for Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge - IC298 - to use something from Patina. I was inspired by the butterfly ring above. The digital butterfly stamp is from priscillastyles store, found here: http://priscillastyles-store.blogspot.com/. This card is similar to one I made the other day with a yellow butterfly. I loved the way it came out, and decided to make another, with a little bit different layout and colors. tfl

Priscillastyles Heart Wreath and Birds MMSC114

This card is for Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC114 - which can be found here: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/. I used 2 different digis from priscillastyles store - http://priscillastyles-store.blogspot.com/. The pre-embossed card was sprayed with gold Shimmer spray. The scalloped circle is cut with my Nestabilities from gold metallic cs, and the doily also cut with nesties. The leaves are from green metallic cs, and cut with my new Stampin' Up leaves die that my dear friend, Amy, sent me for my birthday. Thank you, Amy!!! I ran the green metallic cs through my Sizzix "Evergreen" Textured Expressions embossing folder before cutting the leaves out. Colored the wreath, birds and flowers with Copics. This was a fun card to make. Hope you like it. I know "pink" birds are kinda funky, but I like them!! hehe tfl
