This card I completed for the Splitcoast Stampers Clean and Simple Challenge (CAS532). The challenge: masculine thank you. Creating masculine cards is always a challenge for me. But this one I had fun stepping out of my usual card boundaries.

Good morning my crafty friends! Today I would like to share with you a card I made for the May Tiddlyinks Monthly Challenge. The challenge: use dots. Here is the creation I made.  

Picture

This cute image of Wyrn Geek Chick was colored using a water pen and Distress Ink. The dots on her shirt and shoes were added by me. The background Image is done with a Close to My Heart For You Darling stamp and die cut set. I added the dot embellishments to also go along with the challenge.

Good Morning! Today I am sharing with you a card I made for the CC Designs Facebook Challenge. The challenge was to use the image to make anything you want. I decided to make a picture to put in either a frame or my art journal. Also, I'm in love with these colors, the pink and yellow. I was inspired by pink lemonade for this challenge. If you'd like to join the challenge, visit CC Designs Facebook Group to learn more and snag your own freebie image!
