Whiff of Joy Challenge #22 Green

Busy, busy, busy. Been buzzing around down our local Heritage railway station organising and preparing for the Easter bunny egg hunt. Leaving me lack of time to enter many challenges, getting withdraw symptoms so hope to be back to normal soon.
So for this Whiff of Joy Challenge #22 Green, I thought I would design a Mothers Day card complementing the greens of Spring. The image and paper lace is coloured with copic pens and the patterned paper is Deja Views Apple. For the finishing embellishments I have used coordinating buttons with peeloff letters on, plus ribbon and flower to complete the card.

Whiff of Joy Challenge #20 Lavender and Lace

For the Whiff of Joy Challenge #20 Lavender and Lace, I decided to use Willow with sun hat stamp and coloured her with copic pens. I was very lucky to find a sheet of lavender patterned paper by K & Company amongst my stack of papers, and I also found the flowers that I had left over my daughters wedding. While I was out yesterday I saw some ribbon and lace that caught my eye and thought that’s just the thing I am looking for to decorate my card with. I also applied lavender stickles on top of the punched out flower shapes.

Copic Challenge 3

Copic Challenge 3 – For this card I used sassafras Lass / Life’s Beautiful patterned paper and DCWV cardstock to match. To coordinate the colours, I coloured the image with copic pens using Y15 Cadmium Yellow (hair), R05 Salmon Red (top), E71 Champagne (trousers) and E21 Baby Skin Pink (body). I also used my cricut machine to cut out a frame for the image, and for the finishing touches I inserted a brad and a decorative jewel into the middle of the flower, and placed these on top of the punched out flower shapes.

Thank you for looking.

Stamp Addicts Challenge

For this design I decided to use a Griz bear stamp by Judith, I coloured the image with copic pens. I also used watercolour pens on the basket and flowers stamps that are by Art Impressions. The green card stock is bazzill, pink is DCWV and the patterned paper is from Laura Ashley Contemporary pack. The stamped word Thinking of You is an Ann Griffin stamp and for the final embellishments I applied green ribbon and jelly dots.

Inside Card

This week's whiff of joy Challenge is a fabulous sketch by Katharina.

It’s my friend’s daughter birthday soon so I thought I would make a card for her and I know she likes the colour pink. So for this design, I was very excited to use my new Willow with flower basket stamp from the spring collection, so I decided to incorporate pink and brown theme. I coloured the images with copic pens, and used glossy accents on top of the butterfly to give it a raised affect, then layered the pink bazzill, brown bazzill bling card stock and patterned paper (coco rings from three bugs in a rug). Then I added paper lace that I coloured to coordinate, and a strip of pink ribbon. Finally I stamped the word birthday girl on the card stock and placed it in a circle tag rim. But I did not stop there, I continued on the inside of the card and decorated it with the bits I had left over.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 35 Romance

My mum has come to visit me for a few days so it has been hard to find time for making cards. So I decided to encourage her into helping me with this one, she punched out a heart and coloured it only thing is she got carried away I could not stop her from punching lots of hearts. For the rest of the time she just sat and watched me, she was very fascinated in the amount time and effort I put into making a card.
So for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge 35 Romance the design of this card consist of - green and pink bazzill card stock, Bo Bunny striped patterned paper, Penny Black Squeeze ‘till I Squeak stamp, Cart stamp by Art Impressions, red ribbon, red heart brads and buttons, I also used gold hearts and letters peel off stickers.

Whiff of Joy Wednesday Challenge 17

For the Whiff of Joy challenge 17, I decided my design would be a black and white theme using “Melinda Blowing Kisses” stamp. I coloured the stamp with copic pens that coordinated with the design. I started with DCWV black cardstock then patterned paper, added the DCWV scalloped white cardstock and on each semi circle I placed two coloured jelly dots. For the next layer I used a narrow silver swirl decorative sheet, matted and layered text and image with the same cardstock cornered with a decorative punched. Finally I applied two silver peel off corner stickers, and added jelly dots with stickles on to the flower centers.
