Bugaboo Challenge, Think Spring!

Hello, it's time for the Saturday challenge from Bugaboo Stamps! This is a Holiday/Seasonal challenge (Easter/Spring)!

Make sure to upload your creation to the Catch The Bug Blog for your chance to win some awesome prizes!

For my card, I used the Edward Elephant-flower image. I love these new Edward stamps, they're so cute.

My card was totally inspired by the piece of dp I found in my scrap bin. I cut along the outside edge of the flowers to create the flower border on the bottom.

Edward and his little friend were coloured with copics. The card base is bashful blue, with a layer of white embossed with the swiss dot EF. The vine flourish was made with a Marianne Design die LR0116. For the flowers I used one of the itty bitty punches, and a tiny punch from the $ store. Then I added tiny rhinestones to the centers.

Have a Great Weekend!

Bugaboo New Release Dottie!

Hello, it's release day over at Bugaboo Stamps, and this is the newly released Dottie!

Make sure to check out the Catch The Bug Blog to see more great samples made using the new Dottie!

For my card, I coloured Dottie with copics. Then for the background, I used the TLC370 Faux Patina, technique lovers challenge on SCS. This is a really cool technique, love the results! I started with a white piece of cardstock and followed the steps using the same inks.

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Critters!

Hello, Thank You for taking the time to leave comments during the Totally Stampalicious Blog Hop, and Congratulations to all the winners! You can find the winners listed now on the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

So now it's time for the Monday Challenge, this weeks Totally Stampalicious Challenge is to include a critter on your card or project. Then just upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

For my card today, I used the newly released lamb from the Moo-velous set.

I'm also using this weeks Bugaboo Saturday challenge on the Catch The Bug Blog. It's a colour challenge using woolen hues!

I coloured the lamb using copics. I used the W7, W5, W3, & W1 for the face and hooves. Then E53, E51 & E50 for the fleece!

I tried to make the background similar to the colour photo. The card base is marina mist, the top is white sponged with bashful blue and marina mist. The bottom is creamy caramel, stamped with the SU itty bitty bg stamps in always artichoke and creamy caramel. The middle is a torn piece of marina mist.

I finished it off with ribbon and popped up the main image!

Have a Great Day!
Laurie

SSS107, Stella - Caution!
