Unity Stamp's Monthly Be Inspired Challenge

Haven't been entering challenges as much as I had hoped.  My laptop hasn't been working for awhile and really do not have the $$ to do much about it right now. I do a little bit of Facebook on my phone and head to the library when I want to make a special post or check my email.  I am hoping posting a photo won't be too difficult, as I have saved one of my cards to my Google drive.  

This time I decided to enter the sketch challenge. It's amazing how a sketch or a color scheme gives you the mojo you need to create.  I just love my Unity stamps!  This one is from some that my dear friend Carolyn Bounds sent me. Carolyn also sent me the cloud diecuts and I thought they'd be perfect for this card. This challenge goes until May 13, for more information and inspiration go to Unity Be Inspired Challenge.

Here is my take on sketch #27


Since I'm doing this on a computer at the library I'm going to try this shareable link. I hope it works!

Happiest Birthday

I tested the link and it looks like it works!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest card. I hope you have a great week and an awesome weekend!  Isn't great that the weather has finally warmed up? :)

Back At It

Last week I received a commission check from Colfax Arts and Antique Mall, so it's time to get back at it.  The Holidays are over and the Polar Vortex sure made it easy not to want to go outdoors. With Valentine's Day next month and St. Patrick's Day the following month I know I want to add a few of those in the stock I send to the mall. 

I've created two cards since the new year started and for both I used sketches to create them.  The first card I'm showing is one I created for Mojo Monday 327.  I wanted to create a birthday card since it seems like I do not do those as often. I used Unity Stamps and colored the image with Prismacolor and EK Success pencils using OMS to blend the colors.

This card I used a sketch from CardMaps Jan. 2014 It is the second sketch from the top.  I used a piece of a large square paper doily, a rubon heart which I then cut out, a Hero Arts stamp and the tag is a Sizzix die I got last year.  

Well, that's it for now.  Wishing you a wonderful and warm week.  Hopefully the weather has "warmed" up in your area.  It sure was dangerously cold around here.
