Congratulations card

I've been working on Wedding cards, needed 5 to get my inventory back up to normal. Usually I don't really like making them, but I had a lot of fun with this group. The first one I am entering in Simon Says - Transportation Challenge

It's hand drawn and water colored in, using a large ( and old ) Fiskars stamp for the word "Congratulations".

I gave the license plate some dimension using my Helmar's Liquid Scrap Dots.

As always, enjoying the challenges :)

Tap Pants: noun

The name of this lingerie suggests its history.

This style of underwear resembles the loose shorts that women used to wear while tap dancing.

Want to be in a magazine? Like sketches? Maybe a chance to win some shopping money?

Well then, this looks like a great time to enter the sketch challenge over at Die Cut Crazy Magazine where you have a chance to win a $25.00 gift certificate over at Two Peas in a Bucket!

I love card sketches almost as much as I love my Cricut! So, when I get to combine the two...I am happy as 2 peas in pod....or a bucket, in this case! :)

 I used the bride and groom cut for the vertical border on the sketch.


I used a banner shape for the bottom border shape and the butterfly in place of the circle. The butterfly's wings and the sentiment banner are popped up with Liquid Scrap Dots.

I water colored in the grooms tux and added pearls and glitter to the brides dress.

Paper Smooches - May 13-19 Designer Drafts challenge


As you can I took the version on the right and instead of banners I used 3 fish with bubbles going up instead of the straight line. On the right side of my card, I took 2 colors of blue paint and coated my bubble wrap and pressed it down. After it was dry I ran it through the printer using the free digi stamp for the sentiment. Love the bright yellow bow against the turquoise paper.

Love the bright colored fishes!
