Here is a Halloween kitty for you. This image is featured at CDAC and is the current image provided for the CDAC 20th Progressive Freebie Challenge. It was created by Priscilla Styles. I colored it with Copic markers and layered it on some Halloween-y colored papers. Thanks for stopping by.

Wow. It is sort of amazing that in a year and a half of having this blog, this is my 300th post! So that is 300 cards! Woo Hoo!
This challenge was to follow a specific recipe at 365 Cards for Day 210 for a Surprise Guest Spot. The recipe is:
4.25 x 5.5 card
1 Stamped image (digi or rubber)
5 buttons
3 different ribbons
1 patterned paper
Sentiment
The real challenge for me in following this recipe was the three different ribbons on one fairly small card. It is fun to follow a specific recipe and see what I can come up with. Thanks for stopping by!

I used Sketch #139 at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps to make this card. It was fun to use this owl set and kind of match up the colors with the papers. I colored the owl and branch with Copic markers and popped up the owl oval with dimensional adhesive. I rounded the top corners of the card base to repeat the rounded corners on the die cut. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I decided to use the current sketch at Card Positioning Systems (CPS) for their challenge #284. The bird and egg typewriter keys steal the show on this card and tied into the color scheme well. Thanks for visiting.

I created this card using the current sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for Challenge #53. I recently purchased some really nice SEI papers with copper foil in the patterns. It seemed perfect for the background strips for this sketch. I added sparkle to the digital image as well, but coloring the butterfly with the Sakura sparkly gel pens. I added some additional sparkle around the image with some faux stitched dots. Thanks for visiting today.

I used Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps sketch #138 for this card. It features a polar bear and snowflake from the Lawn Fawn “Critters in the Snow” clear stamp set. I colored the bear with Copic markers and layered the stamped elements with cardstock, popping up the polar bear. This is a very simple card that shows off the cute little bear.This will be a nice Christmas card to ship to OWH. It may be my first Christmas card of the season! Thanks for visiting today.

I needed to make a fun card for my son’s birthday this year, which is on Tuesday. He likes squirrels, so this image seemed to be a good fit! I used Sketch #14 to celebrate Freshly Made Sketches’ first anniversary and challenge to use any sketch from the past year. I colored the squirrel with Copic markers and the acorns with Sakura gel sparkle pens. Happy Anniversary, Freshly Made Sketches and Happy Birthday, Trenton! Thanks for visiting.
