Dare You 2 Digi Stamp Challenge 5

Hello everyone..

Today I have a card to show you that I designed for the fifth challenge at Dare You 2 Digi Stamp (DY2DS)… It’s a sketch this week, hosted by our friends Sandra and Chris, from across the Pond. This is a Friday challenge, but since they are currently at least six hours ahead of us… and very close to Greenwich Mean Time, they are fast asleep (well, maybe).. and I have had the opportunity to design this while enjoying a hot cup of PG Tips… the most wonderful tea that the UK has to offer!

This beautiful digital image is from Chris of Sketching Stamper and you can view her wonderful designs here. With Mother’s Day approaching here in the States, it would be perfect. I have always loved the combination of yellow and black. I think it’s such a striking contrast and a perfect Spring card.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your Friday and have a wonderful weekend!

Details: Paper Pizzazz designer paper, SU designer paper, black and white linen cardstock, SU Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon, So Saffron paper, Copic markers, Sketching Stamper Digital Image.

Bear Hugs for Mom

This image from the Dustin Pike collection of digital images is adorable, and it’s so perfect for just about any coloring technique you enjoy, and so much fun to work with. I happened to use Prisma and Lyra pencils (were you surprised??).

My Mom 'graduated to heaven' several years ago, and she is terribly missed. She would have loved to see me enjoying this hobby of mine as she supported me through so many others throughout the years. I could picture her making cards right along side of me.. she would have loved paper art.

With that in mind, I’m still making Mother’s Day cards as it’s perhaps the biggest card-making event of the year and I see so many beautiful cards on all of the blogs I visit. Also, my son, being a little short on moola these days, might need to go ‘shopping’ in my Craft Grotto where my latest cards are always on display...and pick out a card that I made… to give back to me! He-he!
