White on White

White on White...that is this week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge! Your image may have color but the rest of your card/project must be ALL white! As always you must include a butterfly, fairy or angel!

I have to say this was TOUGH for me!!!! I procrastinated until the very last minute LOL! I settled on using Snowflake Lily weeks ago since I've had the digi printed out for a long time but then I just couldn't figure out what to do with her! I finally decided to create a little snow scene since here in the Northeast I've been dealing with a lot of snow, more to come later today!

I used my polka dots cuttlebug folder for the background and then added a few Martha Stewart punched snowflakes (punched from PTI shimmer cardstock) and some misc. clear gems from my stash. I wanted to keep the card on the lighter side so I colored Lily's hair blonde and her outfit with BV000 and BV11. Added some fun flock to her coat and lots of Smooch Illuminate to make everything sparkle (bummer...it's not showing up at all in the pic!).

Have a great day!

Birthday Tree!

Happy Birthday to A Spoon Full of Sugar!

This week's challenge (#52) is to create a celebration card in honor of A Spoon Full of Sugar's one year blog birthday.

I used Limitless Limbs by Pink Cat Studios to create my card. The presents and cupcakes were popped up with mini pop dots and I used stickles to accent the dots, presents and parts of the cupakes/hats.

The Recipe:
Stamps: Limitless Limbs ~ Pink Cat Studios
Paper: GP, Hot off the Press (pink swirls), DCWV, Kraft & Summer Sunshine ~ Papertrey Ink
Ink: Tuxedo Black & Rich Cocoa ~ Memento, Copics ~ E18, YG25, RV34, YR21
Accessories: Stickles ~ Fruit Punch & Star Dust, mini pop dots, Heidi Swap edge distresser, ribbon (from a ribbon buy in)

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are all enjoying a nice long weekend!

Twinkling Tuesday #17

This is my first time playing along in Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesdays. I was challenged by my friend Danni since the theme this week is "In with the Old" - make your project using a stamp that you have never used before. You know the ones you HAD TO HAVE but have sadly never seen ink? Danni knows me too well, I tell ya. First, I have tons of stamps that haven't seen ink yet and second, I can't resist a personal challenge LOL!

So I dug out my Pink Cat Studio's Limitless Limbs set to make my card. I just HAD to have this set when it came out and until last night, it was still new in the package! I thought it would be a challenge to cut out the little pieces but it wasn't. I can't wait to use this set again!

One of my wishes is to have a money tree in the backyard, since that will probably never happen...I thought a cupcake tree would be the next must have!

If I had to redo this card, I'd use the dp on the whole card instead of just a portion since you don't see much of it. Its great yummy paper from the DCWV Sweet Stack. Bought that at Joann's when it first came out and finally opened it last night. The sentiment is from the new line of cupcake $1 stamps at Michaels...I only had it for 5 days and used it already, what a miracle! LOL!!

The Recipe:
Stamps: Limitless Limbs ~ Pink Cat Studios
Paper: GP, Lavender Moon & Lemon Tart ~ PTI, Sweet Stack ~ DCWV
Ink: Rich Cocoa ~ Memento, Copics (G21 at the end)

Accessories: ribbon ~ American Crafts, corner punch & slot punch ~ Stampin Up, Fruit Punch & Cotton Candy stickles, Swiss dots folder ~ Cuttlebug

Thanks for looking!

How sweet it is....

I created this card for a Sweet Swap, isn't it scrumptious?

The stamps are from Pink Cat Studios Sweet Treats set. I can't wait to try out all the other yummy stuff in this set. The paper is from Die Cuts with a View Summer Stack. I just love these stacks, I can always find the perfect paper for whatever I am working on. I colored the image using my prismacolor pencils and then accented with Xmas Red stickles and Ranger Glossy Accents, my 2 favorite things to use lately!

TFL!
