SSS406, Bugaboo Bunny!

Happy Easter Everyone! It's time for another Stella Says Sketch
For my card today I used Bugaboo Bunny. I like that he could be used for Easter, new baby or get well etc. 
I coloured the image with copics. The card base is pistachio pudding with a layer of dsp from All Abloom pack. I also embossed the strawberry slush piece with the swiss dot embossing folder. 
I tried colouring white candy dots with a copic marker, which works, but if you over colour it leaves streaks.

Have a Happy Easter,

It's Bingo Time!

Hello, it's time for the Saturday Challenge at Catch The Bug, and this weeks challenge is Bingo!
I used the row straight down on the left, bird, get well and embossing! I used the Cherry Bird image from Bugaboo Stamps, I think it makes a nice cheery get well card.

I coloured the image with copics and added crystal effects to the cherries and some tiny gems to the center of the flowers on her hat.

The card base is real red, with a turquoise from Recollections and then a layer of white embossed with a Berries embossing folder. 

I finished it off with a sentiment is from SU Teeny Tiny Wishes and some red gingham ribbon.

I used oval nesties to make the curved end.

ABC, Binder Cover for Knitting Patterns!

 Hello, it's Anything But A Card Day at Catch The Bug, and today I'm showing you the cover I made for a binder that holds my knit & crochet patterns!

I used the awesome image Scene It - Close Knit Friends from Bugaboo Stamps. First I picked the background paper from Recollections then from there picked the colours for the clothes etc. Part way thru I decided to paper piece the sofa, so in total I printed two on white cardstock and one on the designer paper. To do this I used one white piece as the base then I cut out the sofa and glued it down and after colouring all the girls and the backpack, I cut them out and glued them to the sofa. 

 Another close up look, the sentiment comes with this image!
I've been printing off quite a few patterns and I was having trouble keeping them neat so this was perfect. I bought the binder at the $ store for $3. and it was made with the clear pocket on the front and back. I filled it with page protector pockets and used small binder clips to hold all my pages together for each pattern and then slipped each pattern into its own in pocket. The binder clips make it easier to grap the pattern and pull it out of the pocket. I'm really happy with the way this turned out.

Have a Great Day!
