Hey, how are ya??

I actually made 2 cards this week. (Don't faint from shock)
I guess that one of the benefits with waiting for kids at Driver's Ed. = lots of coloring time.  :)

**Note: the lighting is horrible in this picture.
I will try another one tomorrow if we get some sunshine.




It is colored with my Faber-Castell pencils. I am still on a learning curve with them, but they sure are fun to use.
The results look better in real-life than in this photo.



This is my unusual take on March's Stamp of the Month at FTHS: Easter Trio
















I fussy cut each of the panel images and then layered each of the images.
The beauty of digital stamps is that they allow you to play with scale. Obviously, I printed this several time with different sizes and then used what worked.  :)

The daffodils and Easter Egg are flat on the card.
I used pop-dots and raised the Bunny and the banner on the card.
I like how the images worked together.





The sketch inspiration for this card came from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #179.
I rotated it so it would work with my "collage" of images.  : )

It was a lot of fun to create with the combo of this CAS sketch and the awesome FTHS digistamps.

Happy Bird-day! (too)

I keep saying that one of these days, I'm going to make a stock-pile of birthday cards to have on hand.

The problem is, that I like to have the recipient in mind when I create...LOL

Here is my most recent creation.


















It features the adorable digistamp "Ladybug Liftoff" by Faith Skrdla (From The Heart Stamps).
I enlarged and cut out some of the flowers as an embellishment.


















As the design inspiration, I used this week's FTHS "I heart Sketches" Challenge sketch #102.


The design paper (from my stash) and the image were cut using my Cameo of course. I love that machine!!  : )
