Sorry my tail was dragon!

Hello! I made this card using the adorable NEW Dragon Family Face Assortment and the NEW Faceless Dragons digi stamps from PeachyKeenStamps. I colored the dragon with my Copics. I'll list the colors below. I stamped the background with the Candy Stripe Background by PeachyKeenStamps. The greeting is from the Dragon Sentiments Digi set by PeachyKeenStamps. I printed it on white and colored it with the same markers as the dragon. I used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies from MyCreativeTime for the circle, and the Tag Layers Dies for the tag. I finished it off with some wink of stella here and there, and some sequins. :)

Hello

Hello! My new goodies from MyFavoriteThings arrived yesterday, and I am SO HAPPY with how my first card with them turned out. I made this to play along in the current CHALLENGE, following the above sketch. Here's my take on it...
HAHAHA! I laughed pretty much the whole time I was making this! LOL!!! I used the new The Whole Herd set for the cow, and the You Gnome Me set for his rider! HA! I stamped the cow twice so I could cut off his head and pop it up. Don't worry, he didn't scream. 
I colored the images with my Copics. I made the background scene with cracked pistachio and tumbled glass distress inks. The greeting is from the You Gnome Me set. I used my fave Candy Stripe background from PeachyKeenStamps for the card base. Finished it off with a few sequins. 

I hope you're enjoying your day!

Always thinking of Mew

Hiya and happy Wednesday! I made this card today to play along in the MyFavoriteThings Sketch Challenge. I used the adorable I Knead You set from MyFavoriteThings along with the Coordinating Dies. I colored kitty with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I used the little rounded square from the 4x4 Journal Die & More set from MyCreativeTime. I stamped the sky on it with the Cartoon Cloud Background from MyCreativeTime. I used mint julep Hero Arts shadow ink for the sky, and lime green shadow ink for the grass. For the greeting I used the "mew" from the I Knead You set and the "always thinking of" is from the new Tweet Me set from MyCreativeTime. The greeting is on the banner from the Vintage Labels set from MyCreativeTime. I embossed the bottom of the panel with a dots folder, and added two embossed lines with my scoring board at the top. I stamped the Candy Stripe Background from PeachyKeenStamps with mint julep ink...btw this stamp is one off my all time faves and is only 7 bucks!!! Better get it before it's gone! :)

I hope you're having a relaxing evening.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.

Hiya! I hope you're having an awesome day. :) I had lots of PeachyKeen fun making this card. I stamped the background with the Candy Stripe Background by PeachyKeenStamps with soft brown Hero Arts shadow ink for a tone on tone look. I cut apart the music notes from the July 2014 set to stamp my panel. {don't worry the stamps don't scream when you cut them. promise. and they go right back together again} I stamped and colored the sweet elf from the Singing Elves set. I water colored him with distress markers. I added 2 lines to make his shoulders. 
I used crushed olive and shabby shutters for his outfit and hat. For his skin, I used tattered rose and spun sugar. And for his hair I used vintage photo. I added polka dots with my favorite Sakura Gelly Roll pen. I white heat embossed that awesome greeting from the July 2014 set. Oh, and I added clear wink of stella to his hat and collar. :)
