Cute Card Thursday Challenge #27

Here is my entry for Cute Card Thursday Challenge-Dogs & Cats. 

This was a tough one for me...I'm allergic to anything with fur or feathers so dogs and cats aren't my favorite...I know that sounds really bad but sneezing, a runny nose and watering eyes is NO fun! lol 

I had to dig pretty deep through my stamp collection but finally found this High Hopes dog stamp that I got from a friend.  He's cute.....I like him a lot! 

I also usually don't do masculine cards-so I really challenged myself by not putting ANY flowers on this card! I did it! Yippee!

Paper: CTMH Sarsaparilla

Colors: Barn Red/Desert Sand/Twilight/Black

Buttons/Brads/Charm and Ribbon are CTMH

I colored in the dog with my watercolor pencils and waterbrush.

Sorry I'm late.......

  Imade this card for my nan-in law whose birthday I missed.....oops!

I have had this CC design stamp set for a while-since June 2008 and this is the first time I've used it! Don't be surprised if the next few posts feature this cute little turtle or maybe the jumping frog.... 

I paper pieced the turtle/hat and balloons bc they are all rubber stamps and I suck at positioning anything other than acrylic! lol

I "stickled" the hat and balloon, with star dust and used my nesties to make the circle and scalloped circles. 

Paper is CTMH Lazy Days of Summer

Brads and Buttons are CTMH

Colors: Crystal Blue/Garden Green/Lilac Mist

I colored in the images with my watercolor pencils and waterbrush

I also used my stylus and white acrylic paint to detail the turtle's cheeks. 

TFL!

I Miss You

Okay this is the last Magnolia for a bit-I'll try anyways. I just love stamping Tilda-she's so fun to color in!

Colors: CTMH Sorbet/Tulip and Creme Bruelee

Patterned Paper: CTMH A Perfect Day

Flowers: Prima and Bazzil

Brads: CTMH

I made this card for my sister who lives with her family in OK USA. I really miss her and wish she could move back home....:O(

I colored in Tilda with ink from the cover of the stamp pad-not the best way to color in bc the color bleeds a bit but I still haven't found water color pencils to match my tulip/sorbet.

Sittin' Pretty

Here is another card featuring my brand new Magnolia stamp-Tilda.

I ended up doing something completely different from what I first imagined oing with this stamp. My impulse is to find some cherry paper and do a fun red and green card...but I just couldn't find anything paper in my stash like that...and I have a lot of paper! I was going to go down to my LSS but decided I needed to use what I had here!

So I came up with this....all brown. It makes Tilda really pop out. 

Paper: K&Company

Flowers: Bazzil

Buttons and ribbon unknown 

Cradstock: CTMH Desert Sand

I also left out the sentiment-I'm not sure who I want to give this to and for what-it may be a thank you or a birthday....

Birthday Wishes for Mom

I made this card for my mother for her birthday. 

I picked out the paper from a K&Company stack from Michael's. This paper reminds me of my mom-I'm not sure why...

I tried several different watercolor pencils-actually about 10....but i still couldn't find any colors that matched the paper. But CTMH-twilight and juniper did so I colored in Tilda with ink from the stamp pad lid. Her skin turned out better than the last Tilda post but I had trouble with the twilight on her dress-it got kinda mottled.... oh well, 

I still like the way she turned out. ;O)

Paper:K&Company

Colors: CTMH Twilight/Juniper

Flowers & Ribbon: unknown

Brads: CTMH

Girl Card for Dutch Dare Challenge #12.....

So I decided to use this card for a challenge I found surfing around blog world today, on the site: The Dutch Dare challenge. 

The challenge was to make a girl card. My favorite kind of card! I was going to do a really girly girl pink card but ended up with this. It has flowers-lots of them and pretty girl colors too. :O) 

I just received a few more Magnolia stamps in the mail today. :O)

Yippee! I LOVE Tilda-she is so super cute!

I used some patterned paper from my K&Company stack from costco-that stack is NEVER going to run out! Flowers are prima. I colored Tilda in with my watercolor pencils. I had a bit of trouble with her face-I'm hoping once our LSS gets their copics in I can start coloring in faces with them instead bc I can't seem to get the skin right with my pencils. :O(

I made this card a tri-fold just for the fun of it. I plan to mail it to a friend with lots of writing on the inside.

Magical Season

I don't like doing the Christmas thing so early but I just wanted to try this stamp set out. 

The paper is CTMH, Evensong. The stamp set is CTMH Magical Season.

Colors are sorbet/new england ivy/olive and cranberry. 

I colored in the santa hat with a marker and then his skin I did with a brush dipped in water and the ink from the stamp pads:parchment and vanilla cream. I also used a bit of blush color for his cheeks. 

I dusted a bit of doodlebug sugar coating on the beard and the stars. 

Brads/ribbon and sparkles are CTMH-I used a punch to make the sorbet flowers.

I forgot to tell you that I made this card using a sketch I found on a website. I have tried several times to copy and paste the picture of the sketch but this Mac is really messing me up. So until I can figure that out here is the link for the Site I found it on:
