A Little Bird Told Me....

This week's challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Blog is 13-5 Photo Inspiration.

Here is the photo

You can use the photo or the colors anyway you like, so here is the card that I made.

I used a stamp from the Inkadinkado Branches Cling set with Memento Rich Cocoa ink along with a Tombow and a Copic to make the winter berries.

Next I cut the little Blue Bird from the Create A Critter cartridge and stamped this adorable face from the Peachy Keen Critter Faces Set A Medium and added some darker blue details with a Copic.

Both the outside and inside sentiments come from the Pink By Design Simply Everything stamp set. The front sentiment is cut out using a die from the Spellbinders Fancy Tag One.

Today is the last day to enter, so make sure to head on over and check out the great inspiration and amazing projects.

Peachy Keen Stamps September Release Challenge # 1

Over at the Peachy Keen Connection they are having 2 September Release Challenges.

I choose to do the first one, hosted by Michelle Criswell.

Michelle's Challenge: Use "3 of Something" on your card or project.

You can make anything you'd like for this challenge, as long as it follows Michelle's guidelines, AND you need to use the Peachy Keen Stamps of your choice. ONLY entries using PKS will be considered for the prize.

In order to have all the entries in one place, please upload your photo here on the PK Connection and when uploading, tag your photos with the key words SEPTEMBERCHALLENGE#1 (all caps and NO spaces). That's all you need to do!  

So here is my entry for challenge # 1

The Tombstone and sentiment are from the Peachy Keen Frankly stamp set. I used the masking technique in order to get 3 layered tombstones.

The paper is from K and Company Halloween 12x12 paper pack and embossed the sentiment with black embossing powder.

A couple of popdots for the tops of the tombstones and the sentiment which I used a Spellbinders Fancy Tags Die to cut out.

For the inside I used the tooth and Happy Halloween sentiment from the Frankly set as well. I used Memento Grape Jelly Ink with clear embossing powder and black embossing powder for the teeth.

I will also be entering this over at CARDZ TV for their Design Team Challenge #14 - "Happy Holidays ~ Pick One!"
