I went to a garage sale and a lady had a bag of SU "wheels"
(30) for sale for $3.00!! I found a free digi stamp (D2Digi)
which went with the cherry wheel. All cardstock stamping up. Used MS punch, Spellbinders squares and copic markers. The cup cake image is raised up to give depth.

Challenge #18 It's all about Color.

This card was made for the weekly chalenge being held at Mo Mannlys blog. The cards was to be pink, white and red and include a heart. Jill, the little girl on the card is one of Mo's digital stamps! All the coloring was done with copic markers. The hair was a challenge. The pens used were RV32 (Shadow ink), RV02 (Sugaried Almond Pink) and E0000 (Floral White). The floral white toned down the pink and gave Jill's hair a pinky blond tone ( a strawberry blond)!

Friendship

The kanji symbol for friendship is displayed on the lower right corner of this card. Figures are all cut from the cricut cartridge entitled "Pagoda". Designer paper is from the "Bridgeport"series. The Pagoda and fan have been highlighed with a soft pink paper and I used pop dots on them to give the card dept. I have used the kanji symbol on the interior message along with an explanation of what the symbol stands for.

I have been so inspired by all the beautiful cards that are posted. I would like to part in some of the challenges that are made on the various blogs, so am creating my blog so that I can partake. I grew up in Flin Flon, Manitoba (Canada) and moved to British Columbia when my husband and I retired. We do spend our winters in Yuma, Arizona. Card making is my passion - however I do some quilting and sewing.
I made this card yesterday as I have a bunch of birthdays coming up this spring. Stamps- Elzbells and Whimsical Words by SU, Paper is SU Kaleidoscope, Martha Stewart punch, Copics.
