"Spring Peep" - D2D, Stamping 411 Challenges

I made this card based on the Stamping 411: Saturday Sketch Challenge 146.

I used the digital image "Spring Peep" from Designed 2 Delights for Delightful Inspiration: April's Free Stamp of the Month Artist's Challenge. I colored it with Bic Mark.It markers and Copics.  I embossed the white background with Cuttlebug EF Swiss Dots and chalk inked the raised dots.  I punched the top of red card stock with EK border punch and used Bow Easy to tie the ribbon.  It worked well.  This card is also for the Our Creative Corner: OCC Challenge - Bows!!!

Lighthouse "Light of Life" - D2D, CPS161

I made this card for Card Positioning Systems Sketch challenge - CPS161.  When I saw this sketch this morning, I knew what image will go with it.  I used my crimper for the background paper and added three shell buttons.  I think it turned out very well.

DAD You are the best! - OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #10

I made this card for the OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #10.  This is a great sketch that you can use for any theme of cards.  I already had some Avery Marking Tags that were perfect size for this sketch so it was easy.  I chalk inked all the edges of tags.  I spent some time and wasted papers to figure out what's the best font size for the sentiment to fit in my new label punch.  I printed it out from my computer.  I used Cuttlebug EF Stars for the background of tags.  I cut out the letters DAD in 1" from the same patterned paper by my Cricut machine.  

I took this photo for remembering of the warmth of my dad who passed away many years ago.  It brings me smile.
