MOTHER'S DAY CARD

Happy Friday everyone,

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Here in NY it is suppose to rain tomorrow. I know we need the rain but, I really don't want it on the weekend. They say Sun. is suppose to be beautiful for Mother's Day, I hope so. 

This is the Mother's Day card I made for my daughter-in-law. I'm entering it in "There's No Other Like My Mother CTV Challenge #29. Your can make a card, project or anything you want as long as its for Mother's Day. Come join us it's a lot of fun.

My card was inspired from You Tube this time. I was looking for something different and I came across a Center Stair Step Card.  I got all the measurements from a video from Jeanette at  Happy Thoughts & Ink Spots blog. Thanks Jeanette for the inspiration. It's pretty simple to make.

The base card is White and the dark aqua mats were colored on my Cricut Imagine since I didn't have the right color to match my pattern paper. The pattern paper is Recolections from Michaels. My center focal point is a digi stamp I have and I colored it with my copic markers. The die cut is from Spellbinders and I think it's called Lace Doiley. I cut my sentiment mat from the Art Philosophy Cart. The stamp is from MCT stamp set.  The pearls are from Martha Stewart.

Hope you like my card. Thank you for your comments, I love reading them.

Happy Mother's Day everyone,

Anne

PEACHY KEEN CHALLENGE - ANYTHING GOES

Hello My Crafty Friends,

It's time for another challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. This weeks challenge is Anything Goes, which means make a card, project or scrapbook page with any color you wish but you do need to use a Peachy Keen Stamp. 

I made this card for my girlfriends birthday and since I used the duck from the April Stamp of the Month Set I thought I would enter it in the challenge.


My card is an A2 size in Tangerine which I colored with my Cricut Imagine since I didn't have that color card stock on hand. I really like the way it came out.
The pattern papers are from DCWV Citrus Stack and matted with black card stock.
I stamped the chick and flower from the April Stamp of the Month Set and colored them with my copics. I added some stickles on the flower to jazz it up.
The umbrella was cut from the April Showers Cart. at 2" and I also added dots on the umbrealls with stickles.  The sentiment was from another PK stamp of the month set.

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for leaving a comment. I really enjoy reading them.

Cardz TV Challenge #8

Hello Everyone,

I made this Spring card for Cardz TV Challenge "Color Me A Rainbow". You can only use pink, blue, green and yellow for your colors and you can make a card of project.
My card is a 4.25" x 5.5". Blue card base is from Recollections. The pattern paper is from a paper pack I bought a while ago (sorry can't remember who makes it). I thought it was pretty and went with the coloring since it has pink, green and yellow. Ribbon is from Michaels. The scallop circle was cut from Elegent Edges and I cut it in half and tucked it behind the ribbon and stamped Spring from one of my stamps. The flower was made from the Cuttlebug Quilling flower dies. It's the daisy one. I had fun making it and it was easy to do.

Thanks for stopping by.
