Sending Hugs and Kisses

The latest prompt over at The Lawnscaping Challenge is Clean & Simple (CAS) which is the style I have really been gravitating towards lately! For my design I used the adorable Fairy Friends stamp set.  I colored all of the images with Copic markers, then added a bit of clear Wink of Stella, white gel pen details and some washi tape to complete this sweet little thank you card! Thanks for stopping by!  I can't wait to see what you create for the challenge!

This week I have been feeling better so I wanted to get back in the swing of things with The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge and participating in some of the fun card challenges like the My Favorite Things Sketch #306. I have really been embracing my love of clean and simple cards lately so I decided to stay true to my style and do the same with this card!  I used the You Make My Tail Wag and Hog Heaven stamp sets by Birdie Brown, you know I can't resist a cute critter!   All the images are colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  The thin background strip is just Distress Inks blended onto the card with a stencil brush (I prefer these for a lighter touch).   Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope that you have a fantastic weekend, see you soon!

I used just two stamps to make this card for the CASE(E) this Sketch! #197 Challenge.   I love card challenges (I am sure you know that) and I just stumbled onto this one today. I am certain it will become a favorite! This card was made using the single light bulb image from the Light Parade stamp set .  I stamped it in a sort of circular pattern several times on Canson Fanboy paper with Ranger Archival Ink . Next I colored it in with my Zigs and a brush.  Once the bulbs were dry I used the American Crafts Metallic Marker s to color in the bases of each bulb.  I added ...
