SC155 and CC Designs...

I got this new stamp set I've been dying to find the perfect card for and decided to check out this weeks Sketch Challenge over on SCS...

After seeing this sketch I just new my stamps would fit perfectly... I got these from All That Scraps. They are designed by the owner of the store and are so cute. It is the C.C. Designs Little Penguins little bit kits. Here is my card to match the sketch...





I also noticed that the dirty girls from SCS past and present have been posting a challenge over there where they challenged each other to use penguin stamps and no blue on their cards. I decided to try this as well. I always think of blues with penguins but tried very hard to change it so I used purples and greens...
I used a combination of my copics and prismacolor pencils again. I also grabbed one of my figgy pudding pads from basic grey and used the green snowflake paper out of it. I know just the right person to send this too... seems I forgot one person for my Christmas cards this year...
These are the color copics I used to color my penguins in with...

Hope everyone is having a great day... I am off to take my oldest to another Orthodontist appointment... we're getting ready to start treatment for braces on him... Oh and I've finally finished my Christmas shopping at least for now...

This card was a request by a friend of mine and I hope she enjoys them.


While my mom has been in the hospital I have been working on these during different times there. I started them on Thursday while she was in surgery and i finally finished them today. Mom is doing better she actually go to walk some yesterday and I'm going to see her some latter on today again too. Thank you all for the well wishes. She will have a long road ahead of her now but I know she will be so much better. Now back to the card design...

This card was a fun one.. My favorite thing in making cards is coloring and this one uses both my copic markers and my prismapencils. And believe me there was lots to color on this one. I colored all the bases of the flower while we sat and waited on finding out how mom was during her surgery on Thursday... what along wait. The image stamp I used is from Cornish Heritage Farms. They have a wonderful selection of stamps. (including the Thomas Kinkade stamps)

I ended up layering my flower three times and it just makes this card pop. Using my copics and prismas also made my colors so bright and cheery on this card. But I could not just stop with the copics and prismas... I had to also use my copic glitter pens to add some sparkle to these flowers. I used both my gold and clear glitter pens on this card. And then to top this card off I had to drag out my satin SU ribbon... this stuff is gorgeous and it is only around for a limited time from SU and right now you can get it buy one get one free from your SU demo....


Well I'm off I have to go to the hospital for a bit and then maybe take the kids out for some fun latter on... have a great weekend and hope you enjoy the cards...

Supplies for this card can be found here.

Ok here is tonights cards...

I tried out The challenge at splitcoaststampers SC104....

for inks I used creamy Carmel, sage shadow and basic black classic inks. The paper is the same as the ink as well as whisper white. I used a retired stamp set from Stampin Up called Memory of the Heart and I also used the aida cloth background stamp from them. I used prismacolor pencils and gamsol to color the image. This was my first time using this technique and it really made the colors pop. I added a little sparkle with my stardust pen to the flowers too...
