I Love Books

This week's optional twist for Twisted Thursday over at The Outlawz, is to make a step card. I really like step cards and, since our sponsor is Sami Stamps, I used their sweet little boy (I love books) with loads of books stacked on the steps just waiting for him to read.

  I used a free digital image from Tiddly Inks of a book that I resized several times and colored with different markers for interest. 

Spectrum Noir Colors Used

Spring Flowers Step Card

I am honored to be a guest designer for Quirky Crafts. Our sponsor is Crackerbox Palace. The challenge is to use some of the spring colors suggested or lots of flowers. I have chosen to use lots of flowers for this stair-step card. I added some embossed papers and some die cut embellishments as well as a button lady bug.

Copic Colors Used

Suggested Color Palate

Bugaboo Winter Birds on a Line

What a great way to start off the new year with a cute little winter owl scene. I'm sure glad I don't live where it snows, but I did for many years and can appreciate the beauty a snowy day.

This image, Winter Birds on a Line,  is from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, sponsor for this month at Twisted Thursday over at The Outlawz. Folded for mailing, this step card covers a lot of the image, but when properly set up, the snowy embossed hill is placed just right. I made some of my own "snow" with sand, glitter, and white glue.
