Cards in Envy Challenge: Fantasy & Florals

Happy Monday!  Spring has sprung here at Cards in Envy and we are beginning a new challenge highlighting “Fantasy & Florals.”  Use florals and an element of fantasy such as fairies, elves, or unicorns, etc. Enjoy!

As a quick reminder, please make sure your card fits into a standard A2 card envelope. The challenge will run through Sunday, April 16th.  The design team will be choosing their favorite cards to feature on the The Cards in Envy blog.

For my card I used a digital image by Aurora Wings called “Poppy Elf”.  She was colored with Copic Markers in R59, R46 and R14 for florals, E000, Eoo, E11, E21, E04 & R20 for her skin and G99 & YG03 for her eyes using the technique I learned in the “Elements of Nature” course at Kit & Clowder.  Alyce is one of the best teachers when it comes to Copic Markers.  My floral element are roses from Clearly Besotted’s “Love Quotes” which I stamped in Hero Arts Shadow Inks.

I can’t wait to see your Fantasy & Floral entries this week over at Cards in Envy!  Happy Spring!!!!

From The Heart Stamps April Blog Hop!

Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps April blog hop. This month our theme is “I’m No Spring Chicken”!   How fun, Right?

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each blog. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store.

If you have arrived from Kathy Curry’s website, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.

For my project, I used, “Chocolate Birdbrain” which I colored up in Copic Markers in V25, V22, and V20 for the body, E29, E25 & E23 for the chocolate, YG67, YG17 and YG03 for the grass and E23, E 31 and E33 for the dirt.

My background is made using the Inky Antic’s Cloud Stencil and some good old fashioned chalk.  My paper and dies are My Favorite Things.

Now head over to Kelly Schelske’s and see what she has created.

Hope you enjoy hopping with us today.  Our hop will end on Sunday April 9th at 6 am, and the winners will be posted on Wednesday April 13th.

Happy Hopping!
