Stampin' Up! Classic--Flamingos !!

Well, it's only Thursday and I've completed 4 cards this week and entered 2 Card/Sketch Challenges. Did I mention, my first EVER challenges--whoo hoo!! My last card for today was irresistible...pink flamingos and summer just go together. Inspired by the Mojo Monday Challenge on SCS, I paired Stampin' Up! DP's (Raspberry Tart/Bella Rose) with on old fav..."Tickled Pink" for a fun birthday card for my sister-in-law.
Colored with Copics, the flamingo is accented with Pearlescent Chalks and shimmers beautifully. Inside, a trio of birds are hiding for a fun splash of color, too. I can't wait to send this card :-)

Mojo Monday Challenge: "Jaina Fairy"

I had tons of fun with this card, designed for the SCS Mojo Monday Challenge (my first time trying a SCS Challenge!!!)...particularly because it forced me out of my A2-sized habit. I really like the length of the card and making a custom envie was fun, too. I used one of my FAV stamps from Paper Makeup, titled "Jaina Fairy" and paired it with some Stampin' Up! Designer papers (Bella Rose and Raspberry Tart.) Jaina is colored with Copic Markers, set on a duo of nestie-cut panels and 'popped ' with dimensional adhesive. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Stamps, the flowers are from Prima, and the ribbon and other embellies are from my stash. Inside, a surprise image of a fairy wand (Taylored Expressions) completes this cute card. Did I mention that I LOVE fairies???

Digi Stamp Fun: "Scuba Josh"

I'm on a boy theme this month...which is perfect for Father's Day :-) I just LOVE the digi-images sold at the Digi-Stamp Boutique (formerly Grab-a-Doodle-Doo). And you can't go wrong with Sally-Ann's wonderful customer service. I have submitted this card for the PaperTake Weekly challenge !!This card is my 1st in a series of 'boyz' cards for my sons...of which I have 4!! No wonder I tend to make 'guy' cards all the time--Ha!!
'Scuba Josh' was printed on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I used some FAB "Mango Shimmer" cardstock from The Paper Company for the card base, Bazzill Bling in Chocolate & Gold, and paired it with my fav Surfboard Paper from Treehouse memories. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

CPS Challenge: "Dude!"

I am so excited...I've entered my 1st Card Challenge ever!! Card Positioning Systems had a sketch challenge that caught my eye and I decided to enter with my current fav stamp for summer. Titled "Dude" by Paper Makeup Stamps, this card features a darling fairy boy surfing.
I LOVE fairies, and this cute stamp is right up-my-alley. I love the summery colors and the fun surfing theme. Bazzill 'Bling' in turquoise, paired with a FAB surfboard themed paper by Treehouse Memories made a fun summer combo. I used nesties and ribbon from Maya Road. The image is colored with Copic Sketch markers and the sentiment is from Memory Box. Too fun!!
