Hello Spring--Mix It Up Challenge 40

February 25, 2018

I am playing along with the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge.  

I decided to play with the sketch part of the challenge this time.  I already mailed out all my Valentine cards for this year.  I am now busy working on Easter cards.  

My card is created on a white card base.  I used purple card stock and a scalloped die to created the first layers.  The second layer was cut using a rectangle stitched die and a piece of Lawn Fawn plaid paper.  A coordinating plaid was cut using the SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stiched circle dies.  I also used the same dies for the white circle.  This sweet image is from SugarPea Designs.  Easter Blessings was stamped and colored with Copic Markers.  Wink of Stella was added for shine.  Three pearls were added to complete the sketch. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  I hope your day is extra special!  

HUGS!

Baby It's Cold Outside--SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge 39

January 19, 2018

I love SugarPea Designs and I finally found time to play along with their monthly Mix It Up Challenge!  

I played along with the sketch and the inspiration photo.  I used one of my favorite SugarPea Designs stamp sets for the main image.  My card features the Frosty Friends stamp set.  I just love this precious little girl catching snowflakes.  It reminds me of my childhood.  I grew up in Indiana and I have played in a lot of snow!  

I also used the Build A Background Basics stamp set by SugarPea Designs to make the polka dot strip behind the snow man.  I used Copic Markers and paper pieced the coat and scarf.  A few snowflakes and rhinestones were added for fun!  Lots of Wink of Stella adds shine to my images. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  Have a great weekend!

HUGS!
