Spring Tulips

OWH Sketch #166
Here is my card for this week sketch . I bought  pink tulips this week for Easter and that's what is on my  mind. Instead of green steams I used classic Kraft ink which is a bit brown with some tones of green in it with out being green hence the cardstock itself looks well with green. Hope you have nice Easter Day!

Runnway Inspired Challenge
Here my card for this challenge. Went a little CAS and fun. I think that stamp sentiment from paper Smooches is so funny and what girl friend would not just laugh? I went with wavy stamps for the skirt just shimmering about and just had to get a question mark in some where.

Anything Goes

This first I have heard of this sketch blog. Love sketches since I find them so helpful to just get to mojo going! I must thank Carol L at OWH who had posted a card, so I went and then checked this blog out.
For my card today I used some scraps from the pile and of course had to get those stripes in! I wanted to go for that springy look, such happy birds. I went with a speech bubble to add some variety.

OWH Technique Tuesday
Stamp with Bubble Wrap
I decided try this out stamping with the bubble wrap and WOW it really is easy and the the result are great! Well that's true you need to have some kind of bubble wrap hanging around and then of course you still have to make a card:) Yes there are other items you stamp with around the house: bottoms of glasses, cut potatoes, I saw someone win with a small cabbage! Well I buy enough stamps there has to be something there...right? Well its all in good fun.
I went to make this card all using scraps so I do not know who made all this paper unless it shows up again in my 12x12 stacks. I do that the sentiment is from Hero Arts , and the cardstock is Desert Storm by Neenah.

OWH Bootcamp

OWH Boot Camp Homework
Playing in Boot camp. This months theory is the Composition and the Rule of Thirds card grid where the intersecting lines meet and the eye follows. (These are basic design rules, umm new to me..Hey are we havin fun!!) Not that I was trying to make a gird of any sort. This patterned paper had some of my favorite colors in it  but was sort of  limited in the pattern so I put the focal point in the center and cut it evenly so it look like a group of five in the end. So I got small group of cards from this paper and it did not just sit in my stash.
Patterned Paper: Bo Bunny / Alora
