Jazzy Inspirations 7

I was able to combine two challenges with this card...Jazzy Inspirations and a sketch challenge for Whimsy Stamps. As I was editing the picture, I noticed a stray little fuzzy from the flower...ug! The flower is from a package that I found in the Easter craft section at Hobby Lobby. They also have a little adhesive dot on the back so it was easy stuff to stick on the card!

Really, really hoping to get something done this weekend...both with house cleaning and card making! Daughter has had several evening activities this past week, and we haven't been home much.

Happy crafting!

Whimsy Frog

This cute little frog from Whimsy Stamps was won a couple of weeks ago when Denise hosted Whimsy Wednesday (a mini virtual stamp night) over on Paper Craft Planet with several challenges and lots of fun chatting! Right now there is a challenge to create a Valentine using a Whimsy Stamp. This is my third try coloring the frog. The first one I didn't like the way some of the colors (didn't) work together, the second one I was almost finished blending, when the baby oil went "blurp" all over the image (thank goodness I had moved to the table and was no longer sitting on the floor), then third time was a charm!

I used colored pencils and did the blending with GooGone. Not showing well in photo, but the sky is a sponged blue. For the two smaller strips, I cut two strips from the pattern paper sample on the front cover of my Basic Grey Bittersweet pack! Hearts along the top & bottom are from Verve. The inside says, "Hop on over, Valentine".

The card also completes the challenge for a new sketch blog, Card Patterns. Wow!! More sketches...my favorite thing!

Happy crafting!
