Lucy's Flower--Valentine/Love

For Valentine's Day this year my wonderful hubby bought me 5 packages of Spectrum Noir pens.  I've been wanting them for a while now but just never felt ready to spend that much money on markers. If your a regular to my blog than you know that I almost always use Crayola and Prisma colored pencils as my coloring medium. So I got to play around with them for my card for this week's challenge at 2 Sisters and I have to say that I LOVE THEM!!! I can't wait to sit down and play with them again and of course I am definitely willing and ready to purchase some more of the sets. Anyway.... this week at 2 Sisters our theme is Valentines/Love.  We are sponsored one final time by The Digi Garden. I love Jacqui's images. They are so adorable and so much fun to play with. What an amazing artist she was.  Jacqui you will be missed. 

  The image I used is called Lucy's Flower. 

To create my card I started with a white card base and covered the front with a blue floral patterned paper.  To the bottom of the card I added a piece of evening surf card stock with a dark blue ribbon added across the center of it.  I added 3 blue Twinkle Goose Bumps to the center of the ribbon.  To the top of the card I cut a piece of vibrant blue card stock and added it to a piece of the evening surf card stock.  I punched the bottom of the evening surf using an eyelet lace border punch.  I colored the iamge and backed it in evening surf and then again in white and added it to one side of the vibrant blue card stock.  I stamped hearts beside the image and colored them in with markers.

2 Sisters ~ Anything Goes

Good morning!! It's challenge day at 2 Sisters.  This week we are being sponsored by 2 amazing sponsors.  The Digi Garden and The Greeting Farm.  Our challenge is ANYTHING GOES.  For my card today I used an image from The Digi Garden.  This image is called Lottie.

I started with a black card base.  I added a pink dot patterned paper to one side and a green floral patterened paper to the other side.  I punched a strip of orange card stock using an eyelet lace border punch and added a piece of black ribbon to it.  Then added it going down the center of the card.  I colored the image using prisma color pencils and backed it in black card stock and added it to the pink side of the card.  I stamped my sentiment directly onto the green patterned paper. The sentiment says....  "If you're feeling blue - try painting yourself a different color".   I added 3 bright green paper daisies to the black ribbon and then added pink sprinkles to the center of each flower.
