the Bird and Bear

Hello Everyone:-)
Im here today with my DT post for the Stamp Spot, and I am sharing a cutie

I made using Penny Johnson's Bird & Bear for my card! I added a My Favorite Things Butterfly Trio set that actually has these three different butterflies, and I used the different papers to achieve what you see! You could use all of them separately to get more buck for your bang:-) I just like layering, LOL The sentiment is also from My Favorite Things that I had in my stash so I thought it would be an adorable add on:-)

I used some paper from my stash, and added some Cappucino Twine and tied it off with a tiny bow, a few tiny pearls were added next to a glittery brad I forgot I had.
I added a tiny bit of stickles to the flowers, not much just a touch, and my image was colored with Copic Markers.
Don't forget you still have a little bit of time left to join us in the challenge :-)
Have a great rest of the week!
Hugs
Michele

DT Wednesday with Mr Cricut Crazy

Hi and welcome to DT Wednesday:-)
The team today are showcasing Mr Cricut Crazy's new set of stamps called "A Mothers Love"
I used a bear stamp from The Stamp Fairy called Critters, chubby angel

and then used Tanners one sentiment from A mothers love set that would work for others cards not just for moms as you can see:-)
I used copic markers to color my image and a technique to make his fur appear like fur from what I learned at Suzanne Deans one copic class #5 that is awesome! so yes you can color outside the lines, Thank you suzanne:-) I am adding this also to the Color Me Creative group gallery to inspire the ladies and gents there to do something "outside the box" I would never think to color outside the lines haha but I think this little guy is cute this way, kinda brings him to life:-)
Here's just a closeup to let you see how furry he looks:-) Go ahead and try one, I know you will love it<3

Easter Blessings blog hop

Good Morning
Over at Mr Cricut Crazy we are having a blog hop today with Tanners Christ Is My Life stamp set paired with something for an Easter card:-) I wasn't sure what I wanted to use so I went with a digital coloring page of a Precious Moments shepherd with his sheep:-)
Tanner will be giving away a surprise stamp set so if you came here first you need to start at Mr Cricut Crazy's page and leave a comment on his post, and don't forget to leave your E-Mail so if you are the winner Tanner can contact you :-)

Here's an up close picture of the shepherd using Tanners sentiment "Faithful in all things" I think it looks perfect with the sheep following this cute shepherd
I colored this cutie with my Copic markers, and used some papers I have had here I think it may be single sided MME papers.
I used a border punch from EK success

I'm Here to share my Take, and sprinkle a little inspiration to you for the March Spots Challenge:-) for The Stamp Spot March monthly challenge! The challenge is to add a spot of "Green" and twine & Brads somewhere on your project:-) Easy Peasy<3


above is a picture for inspiration and below is my take on this fun challenge!
Here's this cutie up close, colored in Copic Markers.

I used MFT Pure Innocence stamp set "You Color My World", which I think is a favorite of mine so far:-) In Yellow cardstock I cut out the MFT Die namics "Dizzy Doily", peeking out under my image. The spot of Twine used is layered over a piece of Red ribbon.

Can you all believe its March already?? Time is going by so quickly these days, Yikes! We are at a new Challenge day with Color Me Creative Classroom:-) Suzanne has picked a great one this time....Animal Fur! Yup that's right to give you animals fur a lumpy or furry look:-) Suzanne has 5 different online classes to take that are wonderful! and her new online class #5 has one segment with coloring "fur" well I wanted my bunny to have a more lumpy look not furry:-) But hold that thought I have a bear I colored also that has the furry look that I will put together and showcase soon:-) To get all the details on this challenge pop over to the challenge post HERE !
I used a cute bunny from the Stamp Fairy called clementine spring
I still have to practice this technique but she has the texture going on to make it appear like lumpy fur
I have loved using My Buddy Tanners stamp set called Easter Blessings in which the sentiment came from:-) This card can be an Easter card or just a card for someone I think needs a Bunny Hug from Me:-)

Other Challenges I would like to add this to:

Clearly I stamp: anything goes


Supplies used were:

sentiment: Mr Cricut Crazy, Easter Blessings
