Animal Antics

Image
It's a new challenge at the Poodles Parlour this week. It's all about the Animal Antics.    Bugaboo is our great sponsor this week and they gave us the cutest images to work with!  I made this adorable baby card for my DT inspiration this week.... After coloring the image with my copics, I inked around it while in the nestiblility.  The paper and little sentiment is from a Hot Off the Press baby 8x8 pack that I have had forever.  The buttons and the twine from my stash as was the bling.  I received the butterfly in a swap ages ago and am glad I was finally able to use it! A little bit of border punching and voila! I hope you like it.  Please stop by the Poodles Parlour blog to link up your own project for this week's challenge and for all the details on how you can win from our great sponsor Bugaboo! I've entered into the following challenges: Cute Card Thursday : A Pinch and a Punch (use at least 1 punch) Do you Stack Up?! : Friendl...

For Someone Special

Good Monday morning!  It always comes so quick doesn't it??? Today we have a new challenge for you at Lollipop crafts.  The ever great Robyn's Fetish is this week's sponsor and she has 5 digis up for grabs! It's a recipe challenge this week: Green, brown, ivory, one DP and a handmade flower. Here's what I have for you this week The DP was in my stash of course.  I colored Happy Harry with my copics and gave him a bit of inking with some Tim Holtz distress ink.  The ribbons, button and flower are all from my stash.  The sentiment was sent to me as part of a rubber stamp swap on Swap-Bot.com and it was the first chance I had to use it.  I really like how this turned out.  I think it's a great any occasion card for male or female.   make sure you stop by the Lollipop Crafts blog this week and load up your project for a chance to win!
