Sending Birthday Greetings Via Email

This image from Mo Manning reminds me how I start my day ....checking email on my laptop....and I may just be sending someone Happy Birthday Greetings as indicated on the card.  I printed this digital image "Checking FB" from Mo and colored it with Copics adding some glossy accents to her glasses, computer, and mug. I kept the colors very girlie with pinks and added dew drop bling for more feminine touches. What is more girlie than a pink plushy robe and plushy slippers? Used pattern papers from GKD Petals and Wings pad and solid cs from stash. Stamped sentiment from Flourish with Memento Rose Bud ink and added pink rick-rack to finish.

Challenges:

Mo's Challenge: Theme is Happy Birthday...use Mo's Digi

Sweet n Sassy:  3-2-1 challenge -- use 3 of one thing, 2 of another and 1 of something else. Used 3 dew drops, 2 pattern papers, and 1 digi image.

ABC Challenge: H is for Happy Birthday

Whoopsi Daisy: Make it girly.
Digital Tuesday: Pink and White
Kaboodle Doodles: Anything but a square
Seems a Little Sketchy: Sketch #33 Shown below

Young Love Grows With The Years

Here I am back for a second post and I am rushing to get this in for a couple of challenges closing very soon, but oops, missed one.  I am using Mo's Digi "Young Love" for her 100th challenge Let's celebrate. Just had to get a card in for this special challenge. To be short, I colored the image with Copics and made a frame of Silver and Blue CS using a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. Added some pattern paper as background and finished with brads with stones and rhinestones. Used a sentiment to make this an anniversary card.  ( The challenge that I was too late for was one to use silver).

Summer Fun Card

Don't we all buy paper* that we like and think..."Why do I really need this?"   I did that just the other day but found a use for it when making a card for Mo's Digital Challenge  this week. Peggy put together a fun sketch for us to follow. You can flip it, rotate it... whatever!! Just as long as the main elements obviously are similar to this sketch. 

I chose to use Mo's image Pool Party which by the way was a freebie on  PCP for her group. I colored the image with pencils and OMS and Jelli-Ink Pens and added stickles to her cap, arm floats, and flip flops. Color inspiration came from the new paper that I bought for no reason. Colored the edge of circle with ink after I cut her out. Used green CS for base card layered with blue CS embossed with Fiskars ocean waves texture plate. Layered this with ribbon, strip cut from that patterned paper  that I bought, and a strip of Pink CS. Attached image and added a shell that I inked with pink.

Thought this would make a great card for someone headed for a beach vacation to wish them a fun time.

Another cloudy day here. Be glad when we can wear our swimsuit and sit by the pool.
