In the Garden...

Good morning everyone!

A new challenge starts today over at Cardz 4 Galz and the theme is Flora or Fauna... so we would like to see Flowers and/or Animals on your cards.  

For my DT card I made a 5x5 spring card and I used the beautiful Garden Square digi stamp from QKR Stampede. It's colored with Copics and I added a bit of shading with Prisma Pencils. I didn't add a sentiment to the front because I didn't want to cover up any of the image so now I have a blank card ready for any occasions! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog for more inspiration.

 I wanted to show you the card that Quinn & Maddie (our fur babies) will give to their daddy Sunday for Father's Day :)

 It features a cute image from QKR Stampede and it's colored with Copics. I inked up a paw print embossing folder with Faded Jeans DI and ran it through my CB machine, then I cut out a window off to the side using a MFT die. I embossed the Kraft cardstock with a Lifestyle Crafts folder and the buttons were cut with Poppy stamp dies.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Good morning everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and this time we would like to see buttons and/or bows on your cards!

I decided to make a girly 'dog lover' card and it features a cute image from QKR Stampede. It's colored with Copics and the ticket sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps. The stitched buttons were cut with Poppy Stamps dies, I used a Sizzix die for the dotted rectangle and a Tim Holtz die for the double stitched rectangle. The papers are from Doodlebug Designs and the flower button & twine are from my stash.

Happy Friday everone! It's Alphabet Challenge time and today's

letter is... Z for Zig Zags!  I knew immediately what image I wanted to use... this adorable snake from QKR Stampede! I think it's a perfect image for zig zags and he's such a CUTE rattlesnake! LOL!

My husband and I live around some not so cute rattlesnakes!!  We actually live steps away from a Plains Conservation area... so we have our share of wildlife (coyotes, foxes, antelope & tons of gorgeous birds) and a snake or two!  We love it out here... and we take all  necessary precautions when it comes to our JRT Quinn!  I try to walk everyday and in the heat of the summer we are nowhere near this area or any of the trails because a rattlesnake could be "sunning"!  Also, my fur baby is never allowed to roam the backyard by himself in the pitch dark... I don't want a coyote to hop over the fence for a visit!  We make sure our little guy is safe and sound at all times! ...and speaking of my little guy, look what his Grammy bought him for Christmas! :)   OMGosh what a cutie!  I love his new jacket and it's perfect for our very cold and snowy walks!  

Anyway, back to my card... my image is colored with Copics and cut out with the Large Deckled nesties and then I sponged around the edges.  The sentiment is from C.C. Designs and the bg is embossed with the CB Tiny Bubbles folder.  I used my new MFT Chevron die to create the zig zags and to finish it up I added a hand dyed bow.

 For more inspiration be sure to stop by the challenge blog and take a look at the DT fabulous creations!      

Thanks so much for stopping by and I will see you tomorrow!
