Smorgasbord of designs

I was excited when Whimsy Stamps provided this wonderful, and free, digi set named "Autumn Witch Floral" to members of their FaceBook group. It includes two images and two sentiments. I used all of them on this card… which I colored in rich fall colors with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

I just won this wonderful image from a challenge at The Paper Shelter. It's named "Purity" and I think it looks elegant in the grey and pink color scheme for the current CAS-ual Friday challenge.  The silver photo mounts add a touch of bling.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is a freebie from TLC Creations (createwithtlc.blogspot.com).  I added a little bling to it by tracing over the letters with a black gel pen with sparkles.

Used a wood mount stamp from Embossing Arts to create this Christmas card. Stamped the image on the striped paper to paper piece the scarf. After coloring the image I added depth by adding shading the scarf and around the image with a grey Tombow marker. The fun sentiment tile is from my scrapbook stash, and the brown snipper of ribbon is upcycled form a gift box of Godiva chocolates that I purchased at an after Valentines Day sale. Because... well... Godiva chocolates shouldn't go to waste [or waist?]

I love this image named "Wee One Ladybug" from Bugaboo for the current Stella Says Sketch Challenge. I changed the position of the banner but otherwise followed the sketch pretty closely. I love how so many of the Bugaboo images include a little heart. This time I covered the heart with a dotted puffy heart sticker from a set that I found at Walmart a while ago (the packet contained 46 small school items for just 99 cents. How could I not pick up a few packages?) The sentiment is computer generated and the circle cut from background paper-bright red paper with white dots- was cut with a circle die.
