Lunchtime Sketch challenge #15

I made this card for the technostamper.blogspot.com sketch challenge.
It's an original Liz's painting-the lily of the valley-
I don't paint them often, but they worked well for this sketch.
The stamp set is from Sweet'NSassy stamps. this is the trust in the Lord set.
I used a ribbon for the center panel.
It's also a 8 1/2x 5 1/2 card size.

Mojo Monday Sketch Week 35

I picked a green card base. then added the layers of orange and yellow
To that the green shapes. Cut out balloons out of orange,yellow, and red.
Tied the floss to them, added some stitching to the panels and the sentiment panel.
Added stickles for confetti .
Tied the floss to the card edge.

Fantastic Friday Masculine Card Challenge

These are for the Challenge at Korin's Inkydoodle.blogspot.com

These I did for Father's Day cards, or they could work for Birthday Cards.

On the golfer card I painted some trees for the background paper. Using a fan brush and pouncing on a corner of the brush to paint the trees. I like the blue and brown color combo.

The top card I stitched the star and the panel and edge of the card.

The center card added the silver star brads and coluzzle star cutouts.

Belli challenge # 14 Ribbons

This is the same card, just used a flash for a different shading of it.
The challenge is to use ribbons, I like Chrissy's challenges because they make me think outside the box.

Started with a ivory card base, then layered with a gold vellum panel, on top of that a vellum with the white swirls. Then put crossed the ribbon in the center vertically and horizontally, and layered the gold ribbon in the centers to made a cross. From the center point I layed the ribbons to resemble rays of light.

I stamped the verse on the gold vellum. Behind that is a vellum circle with a ivory circle.

And then the crystals for some shining lights.

Tulips

I painted these tulips using magenta and wicker white.

And then added the bling. Using the word window punch and added the crystals

Celebrating Springtime!

It feels so nice to walk in the spring air.

Mojo Monday week 34

This sketch at first I wasn't going to do.
Had no ideas what to use in the circle.
Then I had an idea. Using the verse stamp, and the crystals for light.
I think I would change the center strip colors now that it's done.
I like the mesh effect.

Fantastic Friday Challenge

This card is for Korin's fantastic friday challenge.
the challenge is to use 3 embellishments on a card.
So I used the eyelets , yarn , and the crystal for the
lighthouse light.
Used the watercolor pencils to color in the lighthouse.
And some stickles waterfall color in the sea.
Added some more stickles to the photo corners.
And the 3 dots at the verse are stickle dots.
