Week #2 Guest Designer - For Fun Challenges

Hello everyone! Here are my last two cards as guest designer for For Fun Challenges. This weeks challenges is to use flowers, lots of flowers.  The sponsor this week is Bugaboo and I've used two of her digital designs.

This cool flower gal is Ivy. I colored her with Copic markers then cut it out using a long rectangle die from spellbinders. Green cardstock is from Bazzill and the designer paper is from Basic Grey. I did sponge some peeled paint distress ink along the left hand side of the dp. The white satin ribbon is colored with the same Copic markers and then tied into a bow using the Bow Easy.

I then took some three ivy leaves off the back one of my silk plants and glued it on behind the sentiment and main image. Lastly, I added a green felt flower and yellow paper flower from TAC to cover up the stems of the ivy and be OK with the flower challenge.

This next one is also colored with Copic's! The darker yellow is actually tissue mulberry paper that has been stained with wild honey distress ink. I let it dry and then added some swirly flowers using versamark ink and clear embossing powder. It's really hard to see in the picture! Blue and yellow cardstock layers are from HOTP and self adhesive pearls are from Kaisercraft.


Please join us over at For Fun Challenges this week using lots of flowers on your card or project! Thank you's going out to Helen and Kathy for having me as guest designer these past two weeks! It's been a lot of FUN!

I'm a guest designer!

I was honored to be asked to be a Guest Designer at For Fun Challenges for two weeks. The first challenge is for "your best girl" which could be your Mom, sister, daughter or BFF. I chose to make a card for my BFF for all that she has done so far for me this year!

Stamps for this card are from the April release from Verve. The flowers are colored with Copic Markers and then cut out using the new dies that coordinate with the stamp set. I used some foam tape to pop them up, one on top of the other. I punched out a few leaf stems from the Martha Stewart Crafts leaf punch. The satin ribbon is colored using the same Copic markers as the flowers and the bow easy used to tie the bow. 

As you can see, I did stamp a flower on the inside of the card and color it! Thank goodness I used some heavy cardstock for the base of this card and it didn't bleed through!

I encourage you to play along in this challenge this week as it fits right in with Mother's Day and the need to make a card or two.

Thanks for stopping in! I'd love to know what you think and don't forget to stop by the For Fun Challenge blog!
