Here is another Puffy Flower card, but it's all Betty's fault -- just kidding. The color challenge on SCS today was Bermuda Bay/Taken with Teal, So Saffron, and Basic Grey, and get this the dessert was to create a puffy flower. See why I said it was Betty's fault? This also qualifies for the TLC266 Inside out challenge.

I haven't create a card for Jen's Sketch for you To Try in a while, so I decided to use this week's sketch for my card. I used my new Sweet Pea DP, isn't it beautiful?

This card is for Jen's Sketch for You To Try challenge. Ever since I saw this stamp set I thought it would be a good stamp to make your own designer paper. I wanted to make this a guy card, but I think I need to experiment with other colors. I am not sure about this color combo.

Stamps: Friends 24-7, Thoughts & Prayers Paper: Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Kraft Inks: Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip Extras: Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Nestabilites, Dimensionals

Here is my card for Jen's Sketch for You to Try. This card is very similar to my one for Taylor's Sketch Challenge that you can see here. I used the birds from my new Inkadinkado set again, and I also used Hannah DP from K-OLOGY again. I didn't color the birds blue this time. I wanted an aged look, and the blue looked to bright.

I visited Taylor's Site this morning, and she has 8 (yes you read that correctly -- 8) sketch challenges for everyone. She is celebrating a year of cup cake challenges. Well I was a little over whelmed. All of those cards are absolutely stunning!!! I know I am my own worst critic, but I didn't think I could create a card that would do any justice. Does anyone else every feel that way, or am I being to hard on myself? Don't worry I will try later, I just couldn't do it this morning.

So I went over to i{heart}2 stamp. Jen has another Sketch for You To Try challenge, she creates a new sketch every Saturday.

I looked through my non-SU designer paper -- (I am trying to use what I already have before I buy more) -- and I found this DP from Basic Grey, it is called Stella Ruby. I stamped this image and started coloring with my Sharpie markers again. I punched the scalloped circle out with my extra large Marvy punch. Then turned it slightly and punched again. I have done this many times with my SU punch, but I have never done with with my Marvy punch. I like this way for guy/boy cards, the scallop looks to girly.

So what do you think? Is the Sharpie thing working? I promised myself if I continue to "color" cards I can justify purchasing some Copics. I am a little chatty today, sorry for the rambling. :)

Stamps: Walk About Wally (High Hopes Stamps)

I was reading on SCS that you can use Sharpie markers just like Copics. So I found all the sharpies that the kids have, and colored this image. I didn't think about what DP I was going to use, so this is as close I could match. Next time I am picking out my DP and then color in the image. I think this turned out OK, for my first time. But all this does is make me want Copic markers even more.

This is a Whipper Snapper Stamp, I am not sure which one. I will look it up and let you know later. This card is a sketch challenge. This one is from Jen at i{heart}2stamp. She does a sketch every Saturday. This is from last Saturday, you can find it here. I absolutely loved the way she did her sentiment, so I did one just like it. Hope you like it.

ETA: This is not a Whipper Snapper Stamp, it is a High Hopes Stamp. This is called Walk About Wally. I like these unmounted stamps, but it is hard to remember which ones they are.
