Happy Saturday!

We have a new sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday this week.  Our sponsor this week is Little Miss Muffet and the prize is $25 gift certificate for the sketch challenge winner!

We are also celebrating 6 years of sketches at Sketch Saturday!  What a milestone.  To celebrate we are having a blog hop with the Little Miss Muffet Design Team :D 

Since it's the 5th Saturday, you choose any sketch 215-311.  Our version of anything goes.  There are lots of sketches to choose from, hope you will join us this week!
I used Sketch #241 today...

I rotated the sketch (upside down).
I used Babe Moon Lullaby and the patterned papers are by Studio Calico Storytime.  I loved this paper because there is a calculation at the bottom for the distance to the moon and back.  :D  So perfect for the mom and dad this will be going to.

2 Cute Ink Callenge #106 - Use Glitter

Happy Monday!

There is a fun new challenge at 2 Cute Ink today - Use Glitter!  The image is Panda Love. I need a couple anniversary cards this month, so this image seemed perfect for our friends and the challenge too.

I don't use glitter all that often but I love it.  Seems like I always have trouble with the glue and coverage.  So this time I tried something new {to me}.  I printed out 2 images, die cut one and colored the heart using Copics.  Then applied crystal accents {rather than glue} to the heart and added Prisma Glitter.  Wow - super glittery, great coverage and dimensional.  Where has this technique been all my life ;).

The super cute panda were colored on the second image, cut out and popped on the heart.  So glad the glitter photographed well too.

Supplies --
Digital Image: 2 Cute Ink Panda Love
Patterned Papers: Pebbles 'Walnut Grove'
Cardstock: PTI white and Smokey Shadow
Copic Colors: R20, R24, R29, N1, N3, N5, N7, N9, 0
Cream thread and sewing machine
