Warm Hugs & Cocoa Wishes

I so love sketch challenges it's helping me get my mojo back, yay! Today's card is made using Sweet n' Sassy Stamps challenge blog called The Sweet Stop.

I am loving the pendants that are so popular right now and this sketch was so fun to work with. For my card I used cup of cocoa.

 The patterned paper is super old it's a  6 x12 pad made for the cricut called doodlecharms .  I then used my embossing folder it looks like snowflakes I have know idea what it's call I do know it's from Stampin' Up but it is retired. I sponged twilight ink around the edges and sponged  Stampin' Up's  frost white all purpose ink all over the embossed card stock.It's so shimmery. I colored in the stamped image with my copics and added some bling to the snowflakes on the mug. I also used my clear spica pen on the candy cane. That's about it. Thanks  for visiting

Have a Wicked Halloween

For today's card I used another sketch challenge I just love them they help take the guess work out of card making . The sketch challenge I used this time is Mojo Monday's.

  My image was a bit too large for the sketch so I turned it on it's side. I used one of the stamps from Stampin' Up's Greeting Card Kids I colored it in with my copics then I paper pieced her dress and added  a bit of shadow with my copics. The spider web was cut out on  my cricut using the cartridge artiste by ctmh. I used two orange flowers one I colored in with my black copic marker, the rhinestones were clear and I used an orange copic to color so they matched. Thanks for visiting .

Sweet!

For today's card I used the sketch form Sweet n' Sassy stamps challenge blog the sweet stop.

 I thought it was an interesting sketch and I just had to use it with my so sweet cocoa stamp set.

I love this stamp with little cocoa poking out of the doughnut. I colored the image in with my copics and added stardust stickles to the sprinkles.  I'm hoping I can get the hang of this blog again everything has changed since the last time. Until next time thanks for visiting.

I'm Back!

Wow I can't believe it's been over a year and a half since I last posted where did the time go? I know I said this last time but I really hope to keep up on my blog a little more than once a year lol. All but one of my kids are in school so that gives me more time to stamp and post. Well I recently purchased some kraftin kimmie stamps and started looking for inspiration when I came across the kraftin' kimmie's challenge blog  and thought I'd give it a try to get my mojo running . This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge.

For my card I used Witchy Poo and colored her in with my copics I used a prisma colored pencil to draw in fishnet stockings and loved the way it turned out. The black tulle ribbon from ctmh went great  with it too.i colered in the skull eyes and bow with my spica glitter pens but it's hard to see the sparkle in the photo. I'll be back later this week with another post.
Thanks for visiting.
