Friday Freebie

Here is today's Friday Freebie from Sewn Together...Toga!
I colored Toga with my colored pencils. Then I centered Toga in my Sizzix brand Medallions medium-sized folder and embossed around him then cut it out. I used a dusty pink cats-eye chalk ink pad (it's just called pink but it's a dusty shade of pink to me) to highlight the raised design. I used the coordinating A2 Medallions folder to emboss the red card base. Then I used pink and white Prima Daisy Carzy (that's what it says on the bottom of the tube) Chloe and a gold flower sequin (don't know where I got them). I chose to use a pink ribbon that looks very similar to the ink pad I used near Toga. I used my Glossy Accents to make a raised edge around my sentiment from Jen and to adhere it over the ribbon.

I'm entering this into several challenges. First, I'm entering it into SNR's Digi Day Sweet & Sassy challenge to use Red and Pink. Also, Daring Card Makers wants to see anything that uses the January birthstone color: Garnet (my last name). Then, I used the sketch provided by Delightful Sketches to help me figure out what to do. PaperPlay wanted "Precious Metals" so I added the little gold flowers to my pink and white daisies. Cute Daisy May wants to see Flowers and Ribbons. Then No Time to Stamp and Digital Tuesday Challenge both want Valentine's Day card.

Thanks for looking at my card and remember to sign up for the Sewn Together newsletter using the link on my side bar to get the Friday Freebie images.

Happy B-day card

My first official Simply Sassy card and I hope you're not dissapointed. :)
I used SplitCoastStampers' SC238 sketch. I also went with my yahoo group, Create A Card's challenge to make a masculine card (hopefully the bees aren't too cute-sy). On Color Chef Challenge #16, I had to use Dark Blue, Light Blue, Gray and White. I'm using silver glitter for gray. 2 Red Bananas wanted me to "Spell it Out" - use stickers to make my sentiment. I used the way some of us abbreviate BIRTHDAY as a play on words.

CardPatterns Sketch#23

I followed the sketch at CardPatterns and made yet another lamb card for MIL. The lamb is painted with craft paint and as the paint dried I pounced with my finger to make a texture. I colored everything with my Prismsacolor markers (they came Saturday so I have to practice a little). I mounted the image on purple DCWV cardstock (very very thin border around the image). I cut the lt. purple with pink roses paper and then trimmed the bottom edge with decorative sissors (I don't have one of those border punches so I had to improvise). I put a dab of glue along the left side and sprinkled pink glitter. I punched out two circles with flower stamps that I had gotten on from a swap so I dont know where they came from. I added a dab of Matte accents to the center of the purple flower on the top and a dab of glitter glue to the pink flower on the bottom.

Then I made another card for the bonus sketch (scroll down their post for second sketch).
Their main element looked to be a Nestablity die shape which I have a total of ZERO Nesties. I did the best I could with my Creative Memories circle cutter. The green on the side is also CM. The yellow border around my image is paper from a English Card Making magazine that I got at Barns & Noble Bookstore. The image is from Sweet & Sassy digital stamps and I colored it with Prisma markers.
