March Pink and Main Challenge: Hello Spring!

Hi Everyone! 

Today starts a new Challenge at the 

Pink and Main Challenge blog.

This month's challenge for March 2017 is Spring.

For my project, I made a card using the Spring Train stamp set and the *NEW* Coordinating dies for the set just released in February 2017.

I started the card out by stamping, coloring and die cutting the cute images from the Spring Train stamp set with copic markers and I combined some traditional coloring with dot coloring to add some texture to the bunny and bear. Next, I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die and die cut some colorful plaid patterned paper from the Spring Fling 6x6 paper for the background, I also die cut a Stitched circle and scalloped circle using the polka dot yellow paper from the same paper for a sun. I added a happy face to the sun using the Sweet Faces Set 2 stamp set and of course, some cheeks! Next, I used some green patterned paper from the Shades of Spring 6x6 paper to die cut a hill for the cute train to ride on with the Scallop Waves Die. Then, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the set in white. I added this panel to a white A2 card base then finished with a bee and butterfly. I also added some Totally White Trendy Twine to connect each car. Finally, I added some coordinating enamel hearts.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Trendy Twine- Happy Spring!

Hi Everyone! 

I hope your day is going well so far,

Today I am sharing a card for the 
Trendy Twine Design Team.

This month the team is featuring Spring 
and Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.

I used the Abby's Spring Showers stamp set for this card. This girl is just too sweet. So I colored her and her umbrella with copic markers trying out some No Line coloring.

I used some of the *new* Grape Fizz Sequins for the rain, who doesn't love purple rain? :) 

I also added the Grape fizz Trendy Twine as a fun whimsical border to the card with a bow on top.

I took some pastel purple paper and made a frame, added some clear acetate for the window and popped it up with foam adhesive for the sequins. Next I added the panel with the sentiment and raindrops. I adhered this to a light teal card base.

Card Harmony- Happy Spring wishes!

Hi Everyone! 

Today is the third Monday in April, so that means it's Card Harmony time with my crafty BFF, Stacey! 

This month Stacey and I are sharing projects 

using Abby's Spring Showers from Simon Says Stamps.

For my card, I tried my hand at No Line copic coloring. I stamped the image in light brown ink and colored with copic markers, I added some accents with prismacolor pencils and a little Wink of Stella clear glitter. The background is stamped with two colors of blue ink with some glossy accents. I added some sparkling clear sequins and the sentiment is heat embossed on vellum, layered and adhered 

with the tiny attacher. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
