BabyCakes Bee a Sunflower Tunnel Card

This week is an "anything goes" challenge over at Twisted Thursday. Our sponsor, BabyCakes, image Bee a Sunflower, was used on both the inside and outside of this tunnel card.

Inside

Front of Card

Copic Colors Used

My sunflower just had to be different and be a blue one! I used Heartfelt Creations, Delightful Daisy, for the paper flowers (paper, doodlebug Hello Sunshine pad), with a hello using Paper Smooches, Delightful Greetings.

Paper Piecing a Speedy Recovery Wish

This week, the optional twist over at Twisted Thursday. is to use paper piecing.  I used our sponsor, BabyCakes, image called Bearly a Headache. (I can't find it to link it. Maybe it is retired.)

The bandaid comes from a set by Paper Smooches (another one I cannot find to link), the frame is from Penny Black, Antique Frame, and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches Baby Birds.

Float Your Boat Hippo

This week, the optional twist over at Twisted Thursday. is to use corrugated cardboard.  I used our sponsor, BabyCakes, image called Float Your Boat Hippo to create an easel card. 

The patterned corrugated paper came from Printed Corrugate paper pad - Hobby Lobby, sprayed with Copics, then cut with Simon Says Border Waves die. The  sentiment comes from Paper Smooches Birthday Words. Some Nuvo Crystal Drops were added as well as a bit of white gel pen.

Give Me Coffee NOW!

This week, the optional twist over at Twisted Thursday. is to create a Tall and Skinny card.  This is something that I seldom think of, and it was really fun to do a card this shape. I used our sponsor, BabyCakes, image called Give Me Coffee Now.

Copic Colors Used

Isn't this the greatest coffee themed image ever? Looks like me when I actually cared about what my hair looked like!
And that sentiment, from C.C. Designs just goes with it perfectly. (It doesn't look like they carry this line from Rhea any longer though.)
The background is a repeat stamping of To Go Cup from Stampabilities that I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby.

Happy Spring!

This month, at the Paper Smooches blog, the challenge is Showers. I just got the fun set called Chubby Chums from Paper Smooches.

I colored two of the cute critters with watercolor pencils and popped them up on paper that I colored with Oxide Inks and splashed with water droplets. The umbrellas (popped), rain drops, and sentiment come from Penny Blacks, April Showers stamp set. I masked off the umbrellas to add the rain which was then textured with clear Nuvo Crystal Drops. The clouds, also popped and watercolored with pencils, are from Hearts & Clouds by W Plus 9.

This set from Paper Smooches has three more adorable critters and several sentiments. It even has a tiny paw print and a hugs and kisses symbol! XO
