Will It Be Brads, Buttons or Bows??

We're finally seeing nice weather, and flowers are starting to show off their colors. Trees are budding, bushes blooming, grass is growing and I am sneezing. Don't you just love seasonal allergies?! But I do so love the colors of late Spring.
Hopefully my card captures some of Spring's fashion show. I used flower buttons floating in a sea of green, while my bunny, an image from Scribbles Designs, is hopping with joy. The digi is called #408 B Bunny Joy, which I colored with my Copics. My background was created with a paper from CTMH and torn pieces of cardstock in two different shades of green.  The sentiment inside is from a rubber stamp and reads:

"May your day bloom

with wonderful surprises"

Today marks the midpoint of Scribbles Designs newest challenge, "Brads, Buttons or Bows". Obviously, I chose buttons, but you can use any or all to use on your project. And it doesn't have to be a card. Use your imagination, try something new, have FUN! Just don't forget to link up your creation with Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog for your chance to win a gift certificate to the Scribbles Store.

Good luck and happy crafting!

Make It Masculine at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

I don't know why, but I don't have a lot of cards I can give to the men in my life. Honestly, I have more girlfriends and family members than guys, so that may be the reason, but I should still keep a few cards on hand. Sine I'm still building my stash of Thank You cards, I thought this Scribbles Designs image, called Hammer, would be perfect for the sentiment I am using.
Usually I embellish with flowers and flourishes and bows, so I had to scrounge around and came up with a few brads. I tore the paper  to give it rough edges, and  also doodled my own patterns on it to break up all that empty space (I can't call it white now,can I?).
Besides this gem of an image from the Scribbles Store, I printed Sharon Dewi Stolp's Bricks Paint Spray onto the sentiment (you can just barely see it). The fonts I used are Big Book & Due Date.
The challenge theme over at Scribbles Designs is MAKE IT MASCULINE, so you need  to feature a guy or gear your card toward guys if you want a chance to win free digis from the Scribbles Store.
Happy Crafting, and good luck!

Color Theme at the Outlawz Greetings Challenge

Today brings a new challenge to the Outlawz Monday Greetings, and it is a COLOR challenge: use Blue, Green & Red on your project this week. This week we have two generous sponsors, Robyn's Fetish

and My Stitch Back in Twine

I created a hybrid card using Copic-colored digi image called Mermaid Darcy from My Stitch Back in Twine, and a digitally-produced background for her. The background uses:

Pixel Scrapper Amanda Brown’s Hollister Crab Sticker; PS Janet Scott’s Winter Arabesque Ripped Paper, Strawberry Fields Sun Doodle & Work Day Red Dots Paper; PS Sharon Grant’s Fall Beach Vacation Embellishment 11; PS Melo Vrijhof’s Summer Splash Teal Zentangle Paper.  
 So, what's om your craft table this week? Hope there's some red, green & blue supplies so you can join us for this week's COLOR challenge at the Outlawz Greeting Challenge.
