A Card of Encouragement For A Dear Friend

Happy Thursday!

I hope you all have had an awesome week so far. 

Today's card was created to send to a friend who needs a little encouragement. 

I love to send cards to brighten the day of those dear to me. 

Today's card was created using the Pretty in Plaits Digital Image from All Dressed Up.

I colored in the Digital Image with Copic Markers.

I used the Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog Bingo Board to help inspire my design. 

Patterned Paper, Digi Stamp, Fave Color + A Sentiment

I chose Patterned Papers from the Something Fierce Collection by Close to my Heart. 

There are 6 different double sided patterned papers to choose from. 

I chose the Pink Pin Stripe, with the Star Zip Strip, and the Pinkish Red Watercolor sheet. 

The sentiment "Something Fierce" is a chipboard piece from the Something Fierce Complements Set. 

This set includes both stickers and chipboard pieces. 

For a little extra flare, I added a strip of Lemon Cardstock, yellow is one of my favorite colors. 

Green and Yellow are equally my favorite. 

I included green in the floral set on her hat. 

The complements sheets are huge, 6 x 8 sized.

I chose to distress all of the edges of the card with Pewter Exclusive Ink by Close to my Heart.

The inside of the card is a simple White Daisy Panel layer distressed with Pewter Exclusive Ink. 

I hope you enjoyed my card, please feel free to leave me a comment below!

Cute Little Hello Card

This morning, I had the most fun creating this cute little card with the "Movie Star" digital line art image from the Melonheadz Clip Art set "Stars Clip Art".

To create this card, I colored in the digital image with my ShinHan markers.

I used a few pieces of ribbon for my embellishment.

I stamped the sentiment "Well, Hello" from the Short and Sweet stamp set with Tuxedo Memento Ink.

I layered the image onto a piece of cardstock.

Then I recycled an old cello card envelope and filled it with some sparkly embossing powder to create my own little shaker card. I then mounted the entire envelope onto the card base with some thin 3-D foam tape.

The inside of the card is simply a piece of white cardstock that I sponged the edges with my Cranberry Mini Pigment Ink Pad.

I also stamped a little stars image with the "Party Gathering" stamp set.

I also entered this card into a few challenges:
