When I saw the current MFT Color Challenge, I was totally inspired!! What an awesome color combo!

  

  

I colored up this sweet little Pure Innocence Birthday Girl (hmmm... looks like she may be retired?) And, I can't help it, I always want to paper-piece the clothes on these characters... they're like little paper dolls! :) I used papers from the Doodlebug Swiss Dots 6x6 Pad.

  

   

She is colored with Copics, and I added a little bit of sparkle to her balloon using my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.

I'm sharing a little something I made with the newly released goodies from Your Next Stamp... I couldn't wait to color up one of the cute little lambs from the So Ewe-nique set!

    

This lamb peeking out of the flower pot is my favorite from the set! I colored her up to match some paper from the Happy Spring 6x6 Paper Pad, then popped her up on a large Circle Die next to this fun sentiment! I donated ALL of my handmade cards before we moved, so I need to rebuild my stash... especially birthdays and thank you's!

I'm crazy about these new stickers images from Tiddly Inks! I've got a bunch on my desk right now... they are quick and easy to color up!

This little fairy is from the Little Valentine's Royal Fun Sticker Set. I colored her to go along with the Succulent Hues Challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Blog...

 

  

The floral paper is from the Doodlebug Sweet Things 6x6 Pad. I used my Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border Dies to frame in the image and cute sentiment from the Stampendous Life Words set.  The image is finished off with a little bit of Stardust Stickles.

It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!

Our challenge is to use patterned paper on our creations... easy! The hardest part for me was choosing which of the cute YNS Paper Pads to use!

  

I decided on this adorable star print from the Fairytale Magic pad, and it goes perfectly with Waddles and his star friend from the Waddles Rainbow Fun stamp set! I used the largest star from the Stripetastic Stars Die Set, and inked the edges with Sunflower Yellow Ink.  The sentiment is from the Washi Tape Sentiments set.

   

  

Waddles - T5, T3, T2, T1, T0, R30

Beak, Feet - YR38, YR35, YR32

Star - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00

   

The challenge is open for you to play along! Just share your creation using any patterned paper to the YNS Blog by March 21st.

I can't wait to see what you create!!

  

I'm also entering my card in the Sketch Saturday Challenge...

Happy Hop Day!!!

Isn't this new release FUN?? As much as I am loving the snow this winter, these images have me thinking SPRING!

  

For today's card, I got to color up the sweet new Easter Basket stamp. I love those little chicks!!

  

   

I've also used the awesome new Flower Panel Die... these panel dies make card fronts so EASY!! I dressed it up by adding some small Sunset Sparkle Gumdrops to some of the larger flowers. I also added some sparkle to the bow on the basket with my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.
