Stamptacular Sunday "I Do" Challenge

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  This week's challenge at Stamptacular Sunday is "I Do".  The challenge is to create a card or project for a wedding or anniversary.  Our awesome sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps.  The winner has their choice of 7 digital images.  Wow!  They have some really fun and funky stamps.  If you get a chance, please check them out.

  I have chosen a really sweet Lili of the Valley image, Together Forever. I had to do green for St. Patrick's Day. 

 

This card will be for my hubby for our 32nd anniversary this August.

Wow!  32 years.  They went too fast.

 

Irish Blessing

May God be with you and bless you.
May you see your children’s children.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday! Time for another fun challenge at Stamptacular Sunday.  It's a SKETCH Challenge!  Create a card that uses the sketch below as your inspiration.  Please feel free to flip it, flop it, twist it, turn it and add any embellishments your heart desires as long as we can still see the original sketch in your final results!  I love sketch challenges.  It really takes the pressure off and puts the fun in.  Our awesome sponsors this week are PAPER TEMPTRESS who is offering a $25 gift certificate!  Wow!  Love her papers.  I just received an order of white cryogen which I use for all my stamping.  It works great with copics.  Our other sponsor is TOTALLY STAMPALICIOUS.  The winner will get their choice of one stamp set!  There is some motivation! 

I am using a pre-colored image from Sassy Cheryl.  Isn't she just too cute?  I did do a little additional coloring with my copics.

From The Heart Challenge

I love the Challenge this week at Stamptacular Sunday.  From the Heart.  The challenge is to create a card that uses a sentiment as the main focus of your card.  This is my very first time creating this type of card.  I really enjoyed this one.  Our fabulous sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps.  They have a lot of adorable and quite a few fun and quirky stamps.  The winner will have their choice of 7 digis! Wow!  

I used Ava and Deacon Heart from Bugaboo for the inside of my card.  It was really challenging because the front of my card has a vintage/shabby chic look.  I just tried matching their clothes to my papers.

This is my first attempt at a circle card.  When I first stood it up, it rolled away! LOL!
