Sweet Sketch Wednesday

I found this cute Image while visiting blogs.  It is from the Etsy store Wings and Willows.  I loved working with this image and it was just the right size for this week's Sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday! 

I used shades of Beige, Brown, Orange and Grays in coloring the image. 
I chose papers from the 6x6 Designer Paper Pad Howdy Doody from Miss Caroline.  The ribbon is from my stash and the brads and Happy Birthday stamp are CtMH.
I am also entering this card in the Crop Stop Challenge - a Masculine Birthday Card.

Retro Sketch No. 12

I needed a quick card for a birthday tomorrow.  I really like the Sketch over at Retro Sketches this week.  Perfect for a quick card yet a Sketch with interest...  The card is for a young man turning 25.  He is mentally challenged and I thought the papers from the Close to My Heart paper pack Dotty for You were fun and perfect for this card.  I cut out a 1" circle from the top layer to reveal "No. 1" and stamped to the left of the opening "YOU ARE" and mounted that layer with Pop Dots.  Happy Birthday is stamped on the inside.  I added three buttons and Baker's Twine to finish of the card.



Happy Birthday!!

Entering this card in the Retro Sketches Challenge and the Crop Stop Challenge which is to create a Masculine card.

We LOVE Elephants!!

Tonight I made a card for a very special young lady...  She is going through a bit of a rough time - the sentiment says My heart is with you...  She and I both LOVe elephants.  This image (Mo Manning) of course then was PERFECT!   I used papers from my scraps.  The image is colored with Copic markers cut out and mounted with Pop Dots.  I used a Fiskars punch and gray polka dot ribbon topped off with a paper flower from my stash. 

This card will be entered into 3 Challenges:
