Some bunny loves you . . .

Today is the
mid-challenge reminder
for our current challenge on the

My Besties Spanish Challenge Blog

The April challenge is
Challenge #46 - Anything Goes

Remember:  You can participate with ANY project; altered, scrapbooking pages, cards, and anything you can think of.  If you have My Besties images, that would be ideal, but you can use any kind of stamps or digital stamps.  And also remember: You are playing for My Besties digital Stamps!

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute
Sherri Baldy's My Besties img109 Carrot House digital stamp.

I printed the image on A5 X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.
I matted an A5 top folding card base with luscious orange cardstock, added a panel of vibrant pink cardstock then adhered the matted image panel in place.

I used the Cupcakia font to make the sentiment, trimmed then popped in place using foam dots.
Lucky last were some enamel dots ... I confess, they were not planned.  After adhering everything in place, I saw a flaw in the cardstock that had to be hidden ... I think the black works well with the bold sentiment and outlines of the image.

   

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative with your

My Besties (or other branded) images and make a project to enter the

Today I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute
Sherri Baldy's My Besties img826
- Adorable Little Monsters Christmas - Mini Monster - digital stamp
to make a monstrously cute non-traditional Christmas card.

I placed the image on my Silhouette Cameo design mat, sized it to fit on an A5 sheet, added a digital sentiment (combination of the Alyssum Blossom and Ariel fonts) and printed it on A5 X-Press It blending card.  I heat set image panel, trimmed down to 5 1/4" square, then coloured with Copic markers.  You can't see it very well, but I tried a technique to add texture to the fur.  I took a piece of towel, wet it with colourless blender alcohol then blotted the image ... I think it might have worked too well!  I matted the image panel several times using Perfect Layers Rulers then adhered it to a 6 1/4" card base.  I die cut several mistletoe sprigs from white cardstock, leafy sprigs from shades of green cardstock and a dimensional bow from pink (bubblegum) cardstock, then used liquid adhesive to assemble them together on the card front.
I finished off the card front by adding Stardust Stickles to the sparkling gems of her necklace.
I matted the inside of the card with several layers to co-ordinate with the front.

... after looking at my card while writing my blog post I thought it needed something more, so I cut some more white mistletoe sprigs, coloured some rhinestones to match the darkest pink Copic marker and added them to the cluster under the bow.



What do you think?
Better with bling?

Today we are sharing some of the wonderful new March 2018 release
My Besties Easter images by Sherri Baldy

I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute

Sherri Baldy's My Besties img912 digital stamp.

I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  I added some Stardust Stickles to the dots in the ears for some pretty sparkle.

Next came a touch of black.  I trimmed the image panel down then matted it with black cardstock.  I die cut a bundle of delicate flourishes from black cardstock and punched a bundle of yellow flowers to match the bunnies carrot and flower bouquet.  Sparkling black rhinestones were added to each flower.

The card base is 6 x 8".
I matted the front and inside panels then positioned the image panel and flourishes on the front.  I carefully lifted the image panel, smothered the back with liquid adhesive then secured it in place over the ends of the flourishes.  I adhered the flowers in place with liquid adhesive.

Today I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute
Sherri Baldy's My Besties Lil Miss Sassy Pants img819 digital stamp
to make a cheery birthday card.

I printed the image on A5 X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  I trimmed the image panel down, adhered to black cardstock using a Perfect Layers Ruler to make a 1/16" border.  I matted an A5 top folding card base with black cardstock then added a panel of pretty patterned paper.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to make a layered flower from cardstock to match her outfit.  I used the Kraft font to print the sentiment, matted them to match the other panels.
I used a combination of liquid adhesives and foam dots to adhere all the layers in place.

   

I think I will be using "Kraft" more often ... it is such a fun font and I think it works perfectly with this sassy image.  What do you think?

I used a brad to secure the layers of the flower.
I love how the metal accents her boots and the shiny black facets sparkle.

I printed the images on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.

Today I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute
Sherri Baldy's My Besties img082 digital stamp to make an A5 birthday card filled with love.



I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed down to size and matted with black cardstock, using my Perfect Layers Ruler to trim it down neatly to a 1/16" border.



I punched a leafy border from black cardstock, then added a patterned paper panel, topping it off with the image panel on a matted an A5 top folding card base.



I punched little leafy branches and tucked them under some paper roses then added a "with love" sentiment.  I die cut two sentiments, one in black, the other in white, which I coloured with the same pink Copic markers as the flower in her hair.

The sentiment doesn't really POP as much as I had hoped, so I think I will be adding some more layers and dimension, maybe even some sparkle too.

... watch this space ... I think a change is coming!

NOW it's YOUR turn!
