Here is one of the projects I completed in the past few weeks

So I was part of a few vendor giveaways of Facebook and I would like to show you the cards I made for my one winner Sandy McFadden from Wisconsin. 
She won five custom made cards her requests were: Naval/mermaid wedding card, deer hunting/camo wedding, John Wayne/ex-Marine father's birthday, daisy mother's birthday and infinity sign/Harley Motorcycle anniversary card. 

Lots of interest involved with each and they were fun to make. Below is pictures of each one with credits and info about the card. 

 For the Navy/Mermaid wedding card I used a digi stamp from Saturated Canary the anchor was from a Google search and I covered it with glitter glue to make the card sparkle. The verse was found on a website for the inside verses. I copy and pasted in Word to reflex the color and feel I wanted for the card.

For the Deer-hunting/Camo wedding with pink and Green as their colors I went the Deer heart image, I cut it out on the two colors and found the pink camo hunting paper that I thought would be perfect. Added ribbon and bling to dress it up. As you can see I continued the paper and ribbon theme on the inside of the card.

 

 The Father's card was fun to make. I first found a picture on Google of Wayne and distressed the edges and rubbed a light tan over the card to age the picture. Wanted it to looked even more rugged by attaching with brads only. I did the same distressing  to verbiage on the front and inside to carry the manly rugged look I wanted for the card. 

 The Mom's card is just a very simple image of daisies layered onto papers with a white double bow. I love the light airy feeling it has.

  Ok I wanted this to have the Harley colors in it. I first ran Core'dination color core paper with orange as the core thru an embossing plate and sanded it up a bit to make the orange show. The couple was and image found on Google printed on Kraft paper and scribbled in for color wanted to keep the sketch look to the image. The infinity symbol again was found on Google, fussy cut it out and colored in orange.
 
I hope you enjoyed these pictures. Sandy commented that her parents loved the cards and she showed people in her life the cards. Waiting to hear what her hubby thought of the card. She even sent a new customer to me so it was a win, win for us both.

Thanks for looking and will have a new post for you tomorrow,

Here is my Sprite challenge entry, she was colored with crayons!

Wow, sorry it has been awhile since I have posted. I have been busy and have pictures and posts to add. Will make sure I get them in. 

But tonight I am sharing my entry for the Sprite challenge happening over at Stamps by AuroraWings. She was an image from a Facebook Group Kit and Clowder follower celebration. During that celebration there was a crayon challenge, we could color any image for this. Of course I got my crayons and posted it the day after the cut off! But I still wanted to add her to a card.


I also knew Stamps by AuroraWings was have a Sprite challenge. I thought I was a day late for that also..... Are you sensing a pattern here. Shaking my head it is not like I don't have a planner on my desk with LOTS of BLANK spaces.
 
It was alot of fun doing this challenge between the coloring and creating the card. The card was nice and simple to make and I personally think it is one of my better cards. I am trying to add more elements than always using ribbons with bows or bling to the corners. Below I am posting the image and the crayons I used and the completed card. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making it. Also I would love feedback, I can only grow from things I could change. 

Here she is with the color crayons I used

Thank you for stopping by and maybe tomorrow I will get some of the posts that I have wanted to add. Hope you have a great day!
