Papertrey Princesses Challenge

Time for another blog group challenge...this time Pam asked us to use owls and make sure the card was mailable, meaning not too sticky-outy for one first class stamp. Well, I don't have any owl stamps or images (I might just get flashbacks to all that macrame and groovy jewelry in my parents' house growing up), so I improvised. She said we could.
I just got this new stamp set--Everyday Button Bits (thank you, Rose!), and I just love it. Nevermind the fact that I have yet to purchase PTI's buttons...But again, I improvised and used circle punches. The branch is from PTI's Take a Bough (one of my first purchases), and those little sparkly eyes and "i" are flat stickers--yahoo! I love SU Ballet Blue with Gable Green, and I added just a touch of PTI Berry Sorbet. Oh, I'm going to have so much fun with this set!

Paper: SU Ballet Blue, Gable Green, PTI White
Ink: SU Chocolate Chip, Gable Green
Stamps: PTI Everyday Button Bits, Take a Bough, Polka Dot Basics
Other: Dot stickers-Stampendous, 1" & 5/8"circle punches

    Hi Cheryl, I was delighted to see your card, because I'm not a button fan--but I thought the Button Bits set was so cute--so I was planning to get it and do just what you did--use punches to make my circles. And yours looks so cute! I'm thrilled to see it. Love the wings and the leaves too. Just an all-round cheery card!

    Cheryl, this is very cute, great combination of stamp sets. And when you can treat yourself to some buttons, they are so much fun.

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
