Blogger’s Challenge - Week 36
They say, “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb”. Well I’m hoping more for a lamb like March. Our Blogger’s Challenge this week was to use the sympathy card layout on page 44 of the Spring/Summer Stampin Up catty. Here’s my sample and a little extra. I’ve been really under the weather and missed most of the work week. Once I started feeling a little better made this little card for myself…. must admit, I’m feeling much better - don’t know if it is the card or the antibiotics…..
Card details: Stamp Sets: “BoPeep’s Sheep” (Whipper Snapper Designs - thank you Anna Wight!); sentiment “Heartfelt Phrases” (Verve Visual) - Paper: White Select (Papertrey Ink); Creamy Caramel & Regal Rose (SU); pattern paper from Daisy Bucket - Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine); Jumbo Java (VersaMagic) - Accessories: pink taffeta ribbon (SU); border punch (Martha Stewart); colored with Prisma Color Pencils and gamsol
Now what would a BoPeep be without her Sheep? (answer: lost)
The above sample was one of the easiest to make - because I got the circle cut window cardbase and punched flower ready made from Creative Cuts and More! if you have a quick moment check it out! anyway, Card Details: Stamp Set: “BoPeep’s Sheep” (Whipper Snapper Designs); Cardstock precut A2 Small Window in Pomegranate Splash (Bazzill Smoothie); Strawberry Splash (Bazzill Smoothie); Almond Cream (Bazzill Smoothie) - Pattern Paper: Chatterbox - Ink: VersaMark; Onyx Black (VersaFine) image colored with Copics and a little airbrushing - Accessories: SU punches and mini Queen & Co brads.
Hope you enjoyed the two samples - be sure to check out the other Blogger’s Challenge - links to the right. Enjoy and Create, Lila

Great cards Lila! I’m glad you are feeling better! I love the little chicks on the sheep card. The tone on tone stamping adds a nice subtle touch and I think the layout is fab!
