Pumpkin Spice Card

How is your weekend going?  Hopefully you are getting some crafty time.  I have a fun card to share with you today that just says AUTUMN.  :)    I'm entering this foxy card into the following challenges:

Friendship Cards

I found time to create two cards for some fun challenges today.  First is my "Watt's Up?" card using Jillibean Soup stamps (and hello die).  I used a Tim Holtz stencil and Distress Oxide ink pads to create the dotted background.  This was a fast and easy card but I'm pleased with how it turned out.  I'm linking up this card to these challenges:

AAA Cards Clean and Simple Challenges (Imagine)

Southern Girls (Spots and Dots)

Casual Fridays (Use Those Sequins)

My second card is based on a sketch at Sunday Stamps and used Penny Black stamps.  I used Distress Oxide ink to create the stenciled polka dot background on the card base.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I'll be linking this card up at:

As always, thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have been enjoying your weekend.  :)

Happy Trails To You Card

I'm joining in for my first Sugarpea Designs Challenge.  I chose the sketch in the Mix It Up Challenge #47.  I colored the image with alcohol markers and used some clear glaze on the camper "windows."  I have the perfect friends to send this one to who are going camping next weekend in their new travel trailer.  :)  I'll send them off with some "happy mail."  My colorful camper wants to join in at these fun challenges:

Zippity Dog Coffee Card

Catnip Coffee Card

Another hot hot day where I live so a good day to stay in and have some crafty fun.  I created two cards today.  The first features a stamp set by Lil'inkers Designs which was begging to get "inky."  I played with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers too.  I have had them a long time but have not colored much with them.  I think they "scare" me as watercoloing is not something I have done much of.  I did enjoy coloring with them though and promised myself to get them out more often.  My first catnip kitty is going to enter these challenges:
