Card: Little Girl with Butterflies

It's my day to post all of my Magic Colored Pencil Technique challenge cards. Taylor (the kitten) found that, if he times it just right, my workboard is a good place to sleep - while I'm working! So I had to rush some of them up!

Supply list:

• Paper: Ampad Colored Cardstock; Momenta Born To Be Wild Girl Cardstock
• Punch: Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Floral Fantasy
• Ribbon: Berwick Offray 1/8"/3mm Lavender

Card - Hedgehog on Bicycle - Party Invitation

I didn't really care for this one. I created one design that I didn't really like, but hated to waste the paper completely, so I utilized the paper I'd already done and covered over what I didn't like.

Supply list:

• Paper: Ampad Colored Cardstock and Paper
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Bloom Dots
• Colorbox Fluid Chalk Pad - Chesnut Roan
• Microsoft Word: StamPete
  

Card - Family - Sheep/Lamb

I went through several trials with this one and finally decided on this color scheme. The coloring turned out to be the easy part! I used a q-tip to distress the edges of the "Family" scalloped circle with the same color as the "Family" stamp.

Supply list:

• Paper: Ampad Colored Paper; Colorbok Cards
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder (Border): Frills
• Colorbox Fluid Chalk - Chesnut Roan

Card - May Your Day Bubble Over With Fun

I'm not sure why I did a purple monkey thing, but I just liked them that way. I may add another close-up photo later on since the Tiny Bubbles emboss didn't show up as well on here. May do that later in the week when I have more time.

Supply list:

• Paper: Ampad Colored Paper
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Tiny Bubbles
• Martha Stewart Circle Cutter

Card - Easter Bunnies with Eggs

These bunnies were just too cute. Shown is the front as well as a portion of the inside.

Supply list:

• Paper: Ampad Colored Cardstock; Momenta Born To Be Wild Girl Cardstock
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder (Border): Frills
• Stamp: "Happy Easter" Marcella by K 137028 Seasonal Stamps

Card - Garden Party

FRONT:

INSIDE:

This one actually has two layers of dirt and the carrots are raised from the back layer of dirt. It's hard to tell in the photo though. Kind of which I'd done a backing shadow to the letters, but didn't think about it until after I'd already Xyron'd it. Plus Taylor kept wanting to stand on the Cricut! But had to give the little nod to Ricky Nelson.

Supply list:

• Paper: Georgia-Pacific White Cardstock, Astrobrights Orange, Embassy Colored Paper Dark Green, Brown Construction
• Carrots: Found image on the internet, printed onto each of the colored papers and a little CPA later...voila!
• Phrases: Cricut Alphalicious card
• Dirt: Wavy Scissors, Embossed with swirled stencil

Card/Sign - Go Green / Recycle

I'm thinking about using this one on a little box I put on my table to use for recycling scraps (always too small to punch or do anything else with). It's hard to get a good shot of - actually had to diffuse the flash because it was putting too much light on it. Because the little guy is raised, he'd be a little difficult to put on the scanner!

Supply list:

• Paper: Embassy Black Cardstock, Embassy Colored Paper in Light Green & Dark Green, Georgia Pacific White Cardstock
• Phrase "Recycle Recycle Recycle Recycle": Microsoft Word
• Punch: Martha Stewart Scalloped Circle
