Lots of embellishments!

It's time for another challenge at Creative Craft Cottage! This fortnight's theme is Spots and/or Stripes.  I'll admit I forgot about the theme while creating my first card using a Rick St. Dennis image.  I've been battling nausea for a week now. Taking the time to glue all these small embellishments helped distract my mind for a while during the creative process and it helped a ton!

The small gold gems are actually tiny sequin-like embellishments found in nail art kits.  I had enough of a challenge getting these into the image, let alone my own nails! Needless to say, they are staying in the craft room and not with my nail polish lol!  The quote says "The warmth and kindness of your heart...makes you more beautiful year after year! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!" 

 The 2nd sponsor for the challenge is The Cutting Cafe.  I used their cute Pocket Shaped Card cut file to create a gift card pocket on the front. The message says "Wishing you a pocket full of birthday wishes."

Bright Birthday Colors!

The challenge this fortnight at Melonheadz is Bright Colors! This cute luau girl digital stamp inspired me to create a colorful birthday card for my sister...just don't tell her yet lol!  She's not a big internet surfer, so I don't need to worry about her seeing it here. *wink*

I colored this image with Prismacolor pencils and added Glossy Accents to her glasses. The ribbon and beautiful hibiscus stamp were gifts from my mom. (Thanks mom!)

A little birdie told me...

There is a new Challenge at Creative Craft Cottage this fortnight and the theme is: Add a bow! I colored this digital stamp image by Ppinkydolls with Prismacolor pencils and had to use my cute new stamp/die set from The Stamps of Life.

The small bird die cut from the set went perfectly with this image! I'm a little behind on my birthday card stash, so the stamp set's sentiment was just what I needed. Link up your creation with a bow at Creative Craft Cottage for a chance to win 3 digital stamps of your choice!
