MMTPT160, Blue Bird!

Hello, this is my card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT160! We were to bring birds, hearts & ribbon...I didn't realize til after it was done that it was blue ribbon...oh well, at least the bird is blue! lol

The Destination Station this week is to Barbara a friend of a fellow Teapotter's Mother who is facing another round of ovarian cancer.

I decided I wanted to use my 2-step bird punch and make a Blue Jay so I did a search in the Gallery at SCS and found this awesome post by AnnetteMac! So I did my best to case her blue jay!

The card base is blushing bride, with a layer of white embossed with the love language EF. The bird was punched out of white and coloured with copics. The beak & eye are black cs.

The branches are wild wasabi also made with the 2-step bird punch, and the flowers were made with the 3 flower punch. I first put liquid pearl in the center of the flowers, bu I can never get the peeks to go down, so I sprinkled on some dazzling diamonds glitter.

Have a Great Day!

Hello, I'm late joining the Riley and Company challenge, but better late than never!

Thisis the new Scuba Riley, I coloured him with copics and added some crystal effects to his goggles and the bubbles.

The card base is riding hood red with a layer of baja breeze and dp from Cosmo Cricket. I love the paper and only have scraps left...I wish I had bought more!

I added dimension by popping up the rectangle and the focal circle. It's finished off with ribbon and dew drops.

MMTPT157, Bouncy Hello!

Hello, this is my card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT157! This weeks Destination Station is to someone on the list of the Hugs and Hope for Sick Kids!
We are to bring happy upbeat cards in green, blue and yellow! Well when I read that, I immediately thought of Bouncy Ball Riley! He's definitely Happy and Upbeat!

I cased myself with the layout to save time. I coloured Riley with copics, matted with daffodil delight and popped them up.

The card base is pacific point, with a layer of wild wasabi and then white embossed with the swirl EF. I hope this brings a smile!

Have a Great Day!

Hello & Happy Monday, I just want to thank everyone who stopped by during the Totally Stampalicious Blog Hop last week, I love hearing what you think and appreciate the time you take to pop by and comment!

The list of Blog Hop winners can be found here on the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

This week we're challenging you to include a frozen treat on your card or project. I used one of the new Poppi Penguins. I stamped him and coloured him with copics.

I realized while flipping through my papers that this paper from Basic Greys Life of the party has little ice cream and popsicles all over it, so I started there to pick my colours.

Have a Great Day!
