WWC233 - Karen's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

 This week it is Watercooler Wednesday's Feminine Challenge and I am this week's hostess.  Thank you so much of stopping by!

I've created a bright fun floral birthday card using Doodle Buds by WPlus9.  I have been practicing some off-the-edge-diecutting and this is one of the cards I created. The other two are Playful Pups and Get Well.

I colored with Copic markers and added a birthday sentiment.

WWC231 - Tristan's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Hello and welcome!  This week it is all about occasion cards at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge Website and Tristan is our hostess. 

I go through a lot of Get Well cards and it was time to add some new cards to my inventory.  Lawn Fawn's Get Well Soon stamp set has been a longtime favorite and I thought it would be cute as a CAS card with some off the edge die-cutting.    I started with an A2 panel, did the off the edge die-cutting, then stamped and colored the images in with Copic markers.  Next, I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the prescription bottle tops to make them shine.

Lawn Fawnatics "Little Things" Challenge
I love the small little images in the Get Well Soon set. It is one of my most used stamp and die sets because it makes the cutest cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

Off The Edge Die-Cutting

I had never tried off the edge die-cutting but I am very pleased with the end result.  

I was in the mood to do a puppy card so I chose Mama Elephant's Playful Pups, one of my oldest and most used stamp sets.  I die cut a panel, did my partial die-cutting, then stamped and finally colored with Copic markers.  I liked the CAS look of the panel but wanted to break up some of the white so I used my new Sugar Pea Designs Element Builder to die cut the bottom edge.  I really like that subtle stitched wave.

Inkspirational 3 or 5 Challenge

Make my Monday "B" Challenge - B is for lots of  Brown! I used 5 Shades of Copic Brown on these pups.

Addicted to Stamps "Make Your Mark" I made my mark with lots of brown.

UPDATE:  I am so pleased that this card was a "Top Pick" at the Inkspirational Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!
