Peeps Challenge #4

Here is another challenge catch-up card.  This one is Peggysue's and here is her challenge:

 "Choose a card or project Nichole made from one of the last two releases and using a set NOT from that release, make a similar card."

After taking way too long reading Nichole's blog, I picked this great card to CASE below:

And here is the card I made:

I needed a card for a young cousin's First Communion, so I pulled out Everyday Blessings.  I wasn't happy with the way my hand-drawn border came out, so I colored it in with Copics.  Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey Peeps Challenge #2_

Hello!  I was missing my stamping mojo for a bit but hope it has come back.  To kick it into gear, I turned to some of  the Papertrey Peeps challenges that I missed. This card is for challenge number #2. Aimes provided some yummy looking cereal boxes for inspiration.  I couldn't figure out how to save the inspiration picture, but I chose one that Aimes posted on the Peeps blog.  I saw the colors as Scarlet Jewel, Enchanted Evening, and Pure Poppy.  I knew I wanted to use the tree from Father Knows Best, so I ended up making the leaves in Pure Poppy and outlining in Scarlet Jewel.  The sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages. I love the new Woodgrain impression plate.  It may be my favorite PTI product ever!  Love it!

Sorry this is so late, Peeps!  It was great inspiration!

Supplies Not Mentioned Above:

PTI April Blog Hop

Hello!  This is my entry for PTIs April Blog Hop.  The challenge was to incorporate tissue paper into a project.  I had long wanted to try this technique for decorating a candle  with tissue paper.  I stamped the flower from Friends till the End on tissue paper, and then colored with Copics using the Ocean Tides and Summer Sunrise Trios.  The coloring was really faint on the tissue paper but showed up pretty well on the candle.  After coloring, I wrapped the tissue paper on the candle and used my heat gun to melt the paper to into the candle.  Thanks for stopping by!
