Inky Anything Goes

Inky Impressions challenge this week is anything goes.

 It is so hard to find cute boy stamps. Christopher is so cute.

 This cutie is Christopher with Heart. I colored him with Copics and Stampin Up markers. I distressed the paper around him.

Here is how I decorated the inside of my card. The sentiment is from Sweet N Sassy. The paper I used is Recollections.

Riley CAS

It has been awhile since I played with my Riley stamps. I saw the clean and simple challenge this week and thought I would join in. This card is just that. I added some shimmery green paper that I had in my scrap collection onto this patterned card. Riley is colored with Copics. I added a Sweet N Sassy sentiment that goes well with this cutie. I embossed a small piece of the green paper which look so good on here. Added a few metal embellishment and there you have it. I am sending this one in to OWH. Hopefully it will make someone smile.

Mojo Scraps Card

I love playing along with Mojo Monday so I made a quick card with this weeks sketch. I used a Pink by Design sentiment. The gold paper looks good in the middle. It was in my scrap pile along with the blue, white and brown strip. I have way too many scraps and keep them in a basket close by so I will use them up, I hate to throw away paper. Adding a few metal elements and the pearl in teh middle of the flower helped give the card a little more wow factor.  Since this card is going to OWH I tried to keep it flat and glitter free. So hard for me :)

 I used the best food of all cupcakes!! I love the bright colors on this card.

This cute fairy is The Stamping Boutique's Birthday Fairy I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to the cupcake, head dress and wings for a little sparkle.

This sentiment is from a set I bought at Michaels the other day from Stampedous. I used a circle punch to cut it out and inked the edges.

Inky Recycle Super Girl Card

Inky Impressions challenge this week is recycle, use something you wouldn't normally use on a card. 

 It took me awhile to come up with an idea. Then I saw the index cards in my drawer and thought, cute background paper. So I took a hot pink index card and use a border punch on the top then embossed it.

I used Super Girl Lili. I colored her with Copics. I would love to add glitter but this beauty is going to Operation Write Home. I home this super girl reminds someone of somebody they love.
The sentiment is Jaded Blossom.

IS Easter

 I made a little Easter treat box. I got these boxes at Target on clearance and jazzed it up. I used this cute Inspired Stamps Hymn Girl March. I stamped her on Pink Bazzill Cardstock. I added some Copics to the skin.

 This paper actual has eggs in the background. Stare at the image above or below for a second and you will see them. Hard to photography but pretty in person.

I added Stickles to the cross to make it shine.

I love Easter. The egg decorating, the egg hunts, the cut bunnies every where are all great. I just hope we all remember the reason for this special holiday.God sacrificed his son for us. Jesus paid for our sins. And though I sometimes feel bad that he had to do that for us sinners, I am sure grateful that he did.
