I combined her image with a couple of Papertrey Ink dies from my stash and some patterned paper from last month's Catherine Pooler's release. I used Copics to color him.

The background uses Picket Fence Studios' Peek-A-Boo Flower Stencil. The image is die cut with CC Designs Scalloped Rectangle Metal Die along with an old curved border die. Some Taylored Expressions Drip Drops and one of the sentiments from her Simple Strips in Reverse Everyday Sentiments collection finish off the card.
Hope you will pop by the PPC&F FB group to see what is in store as we celebrate Di's Digi Stamps sponsorship! Thanks for stopping by my blog.In kindness, Cathy
I was babysitting my grandkids last week and the next town over has an actual scrapbook shop in it, called Creek Water Memories. I did a little shopping while they were in school and picked up some gorgeous Maja Designs papers from Sweden along with Pinkfresh Studios Poinsettia Washi Tape and coordinating die. The Maja Designs papers come in beautiful patterns, muted colors, and a heavy weight cardstock. (Here's hoping the link leads to a store in your area so you can check them out yourself!)
After you make your card, link it up in Album #22 of the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers FB Group. Thanks for stopping by my blog! In kindness, Cathy.

I am still playing along with the BYSHC Spring Into Christmas Linky Party! This is card #7 for me and uses older products from my stash: Concord & 9th's Blooms Fill in Stamp and dies; Hero Arts Tiny Stars Background; and a "joy" diecut from glitter paper. Lots of gold embossing powder went into this card and I added some twine behind the flower image, but it was a relatively simple card to make.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends FB Group is being sponsored by All Dressed Up this week. This sweet little cutie is called Hedgehog Flower and is the first time I have ever tried coloring a hedgehog!!
The digital image is printed on kraft cardstock and colored with Prismacolor Premier pencils. The photo picks up more of the white than is seen IRL, but I was looking at a hedgehog that had a lot of white on the belly and the spikes, so I kept that in mind as I colored. I went to my paper stash and collection of enamel dots to keep the colors moving around the page. The sentiment is a very old die from Papertrey Ink; the pop of white is a great accent against the kraft cardstock.Challenges Entered:

Today is Day 6 of the BYSHC Spring Into Christmas Linky Party and I am sharing my 6th card!! That means my stack of Christmas cards is really growing! I am still creating cards remotely, so that requires using the things I brought with me on my babysitting adventure.
This card features a white heat embossed sentiment from sponsor, Colorado Craft Company, called Merry Bright Mini (which is on sale for $3.38!!). I paired it with some Vicki Boutin Warm Wishes paper and a red heat embossed panel I had in my stash using Ellen Hutson's Fa La La background stamp. I glued on a few sequins, a red bow and done!! If I had been home, I probably would have splattered the sentiment panel with paint, but I really like this version!I brought the 12x12 paper pad with me and have been using it this week. At one point on Monday night, I started to contemplate how I might think differently about cutting portions of the papers to use for cards. The scale of 12x12 card prints aren't always great for A2 cards. Then yesterday, I visited Deb Davidson's blog and she had five cards using the same paper collection! Her cards helped solidify my thinking; later in the day, BYSHC DT teamie, Vannessa Osbourn shared a slimline card that seemed to use a section of 12x12 paper and I went full time into creative thinking!! I hadn't even thought of a slimeline card!! That's a no-brainer for 12x12 paper!! I can't wait to get back to my craft room (and my fill size paper trimmer and my single slimline die) to see how it works!! I have the perfect paper for it with a darling Santa design!! Stay tuned!
BTW - Friday is the last day of the Linky Party! I hope you are able to play along with us! Thanks for visiting my blog! In kindness, Cathy
I am on a streak making cards for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Spring Into Christmas Linky Party and it's been fun!! Still away from home for a couple more days, so I am using the supplies I brought with me. Stamps from sponsor, Taylored Expressions are featured on today's card. TE has a line of stamps that are a little sassy and Big Grumpy is one of them! The holiday extras (and supporting sentiments) are part of Big Grumpy - Christmas. Big Grumpy fans can find sets for other occasions, too!
Big Grumpy is colored with Prisma pencils and I pulled out my ornament sequins from Target to hang from his antlers. TE's Drip Drops add some extra embellishment along with sequins and some Baker's twine.We are half way through the Linky Party and the gallery is growing. Hope you have a chance to play!

For my first Linky Party card, I found an old PTI die in my stash along with a tree I had stamped on white paper. The two "finds" came together to create a shaker card with some ornament shaped confetti I bought last fall in the dollar section at Target. The shaker element is mounted on a panel of patterned paper die cut from PTI's Mix & Mat Confetti Die and finished off with a bow. Take a minute to check out the details on the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Blog! Off to create another card for the Linky Party! Hope you are able to make the time to join us!In kindness, Cathy
