Happy Friday!!! Are you glad the weekend is here?!!! I am!! Not that we have many plans since it is suppose to be another rainy day (like today) but it is nice to have Scott home.
Over the last week, I have been so busy with dt cards and creations and I so wanted to make a card for Paige. I have read several posts about this thirteen year old girl and her boating accident. My heart goes out to her and her family as it looks like she will be having her arm amputated. Poor girl!! I also applaud Erin's efforts (Paige's neighbor and Whimsy Stamps Dt member) to get a card drive started with a goal of 100 cards to be sent Paige. Erin also has blog candy for anyone who makes a card and sends it to Paige. You can view all the details here.
Denise (Whimsy Stamps Owner) has also generously donated a digi stamp to be sold where 100% of the proceeds will go to Paige's Hospital Bill. To view this stamp, please click here. How sweet and generous are these girls!!!
So anywho....here is the card I created for Paige. I incorporated the sketch from Mojo Monday 103, Whimsy Stamps challenge 18 to sew on a card, WT235 from Splitcoast- Revved up on Red, Stamp Something Challenge to use your favorite embellishment.
I used one of the new Elizabeth Bell Images exclusive to Suzanna Custom Arts and Designs called Emma. (Susana has a beautiful selection of Elizabeth Bell images, reasonable prices and excellent customer service!). I colored her in with prisma color pencils and gamsol. She is popped up on dimensionals in different areas of the image to give her dimension. The background paper is one K& Co.'s new dp pads called Winter Wonderland. It is gorgeous dp with a lot of vibrant colors and beautiful designs! My fave embellishment is the Butterfly that is laced on the black grosgrain ribbon. I don't know where I purchased it from but I do know that I have been using them sparingly. The flowers are prima flowers. The middle layer I distressed with brown distressing ink. The middle stip on my card is made using the Rennaissance Border from Spellbinders.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Elizabeth Bell- Emma- Exclusive to Suzanna's Custom Arts and Card Designs
Papers: K&Co. Winter Wonderland, Black, Real Red, White
Accessories: Red Rhinestones, Circle Spellbinders, Spellbinders Renaissance Border, sewing machine, butterfly charm, prima red flowers
I hope Paige likes this card!!!
**************************************************
The second card for today uses LSC237 ( I used the new image from Lori and my old Tulle which has been in my craft cabinet for years!!!!! I finally found a use for it.) and the new sketch challenge Crazy 4 Challenges. This week's sketch was hosted by Cindy Haffner. I so admire the creations of all these dt members that I just had to join in their first challenge. One of the dt members, Lori Boyd, is beginning her own line of digitals. On her blog she had one available for free. I thought it appropriate to showcase her image for the dt's first challenge in her honor. Love this image Lori and the new challenge girls!!
I colored her in with Prisma color Pencils and Gamsol. Her skirt is paper pieced and has tulle adhered over top. I also sewed around the edges of the card.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Lori Boyd's Digital Image
Paper: Bloom And Grow, Bazzil Chocolate, White
Accessories: Pearls, nestabilities, Fiskers Punch, tulle, corduroy button, white satin ribbon, teal satin ribbon

Your second card is beautiful as well, great job dressing up Lori's digi stamp, and I adore how you've punched and layered the papers and put pearls on it, lovely!!
Now, I'd better get crackin' on a card for Paige as well, got the digi from Whimsey stamps, now I'm just waiting for that burst of mojo to get the card done right, lol.
WOW and WOW!!! Two fabulous cards as always Chris, but really, that red one blew me away!!! TOTALLY STUNNING my friend!!!! ~hugs~
