I have been trying to explore other card making challenges out there on the Internet. One of my fellow collegues Jackie on Critter Sketch Challenge Design Team, is also the Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team. I thought I would try their latest Sketch Challenge. I must have ESP because I just read that Stampavie's Challenge #27 is to use DOTS! The paper I used is from the new Basic Grey Oliver line. It's great for boy/guy/man cards!

Sketch Saturday & Crazy for Challenges # 42

I love Stampavie stamps. First, they stamp so well.  There are some acrylic stamps that stretch and seem to loose their shape when moving them from storage to acyrlic block. These stamps don't. They are so sturdy!Second, they are so cute! I just want to cuddle every animal in their images.  Just like the bear in this Penny Johnson image! I had a hard time selecting the designer paper for this card. I knew I wanted to use Cosmo Cricket Delovely paper, but it is really bright. So I decided to balance the brightness with white.  The Sketch is from Sketch Saturday Challenge #108. I added some paper flowers for the Crazy for Challenges #42. I added a cute little pink butterfly to the flowers to match the butterfly in my image! Scroll down to see some close ups.







Supplies Used:
Stamps: Butterfly Bear and Sentiment Stampavie
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Cardstock: SU Melon Mamba, Whisper White
Paper: Cosmo Cricket Delovely
Accessories: Prima Mini Roses,  Basic Grey Opaline half pearls, SU Oval, Scallop Oval, Wide Oval Punches, White Satin Ribbon from my stash, Butterfly from Taylored Expressions

Friday Sketchers #107

I made this cute dream inducer card for the Friday Sketchers Challenge #107. The image is Stampavie Mouse in Hammock by Tina Wenke.  I love this stamp because it reminds me of my own hammock sleeper. One of my cats Jar Jar, loves sleeping in my hammock. It's really cute seeing him softly step into it so it doesn't swing too much. I printed the sentiment from my computer and sponged the edge with Papertrey Chai ink from their Vintage touch set. I also sponged Chai ink on the the edge of the main image. I thought the Webster Pages would be a nice back drop with the tree braches. I titled the book that Mr. Mouse is reading Cheese, I Love You!





Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Mouse in Hammock by Tina Wenke, Inside Card Sentiment: Wordsmith Stamps
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Papertrey Chai Vintage Ink, Copic Markers
Cardstock: SU Soft Suede, Kiwi Kiss, Gina K Pure Luxury White
Paper: Webster Pages
Accessories: K&Company Brad, Papertrey Ink Simply Chartreuse Felt
