Spring Bling is the challenge to us today at All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog!

I used C.C. Designs Sweet November Baby Bunnies Butterfly and a fence from the new Spring kit rubber stamps. Inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

  • Bunny & flowers Y32, 35, 38
  • Flowers R 21, 22, 24
  • Butterfly and flowers BV01, 11, 31
  • Fence E41, 43, 44
  • Grass G82, 85, 99
  • Hair E50, 53, 55, 57

My bits of bling are in the form of gemstones from Hero Arts for the flower centers and Stickles Frosted Lace glitter glue on the butterfly perched on Baby Bunny’s nose!  I think the flowers scattered all over the background paper count for bling too! New Basic Grey 6×6 pattern paper and the bird border punch by Martha Stewart.  Have Faith sentiment stamp is from a set by The Greeting Farm.  I inked the edges with Bundled Sage and milled lavendar distress inks and the ink blending tool.

Thank YOU Very Much…

Have you heard that there’s a Royal Battle going on over at The Greeting Farm? The Royal Battle is a battle of teams, and depends entirely on VOTING. It goes like this: there are teams of three to five players. Each Wednesday a new Battle challenge is issued. One of the team members has to make a card to meet the Battle challenge. Folks have a chance to vote for three cards each week. The top half with the most votes moves to the next Battle. Each team member has to take one turn. Hopefully, we make it to the final round and a chance to win a big prize.

The first week is to make a retro card – team member Lisa made the card this time for our group, the Card Sprouts!  She did a great job,  we would love your vote! You can cast your votes here (b/4 midnight tonight) by leaving a comment! So,  I made this card to “thank you very much” for voting!

Another Easel card…this style really works well for the 6×6 papers and folds up so nice, but most of you already know that because you’ve been making them! lol
The challenge at Just Magnolia blog is an easel card this week…
The challenge at Friday Sketchers blog is the sketch I used….
The Challenge at Cute Card Thursday is anything you like to celebrate each year…birthdays, anniversaries, etc…
The challenge at Saturday Spotlight blog is birthdays and using your birthstone color (mine is aquamarine)….
The challenge at Copic Creations blog is to use your favorite coloring technique from their challenges the last year (mine is coloring black)

Here’s a close up of Honey Tilda sitting on the Honey Jar – so sweet!

Honey Tilda and jar are stamped on 100% cotton Bristol card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers, The warm grays… y11, 15, 17, 19…YR 21, 23, 24… E50, 000, 00, 11…R22, 24, 27, 59.   The copics really blend easily on this stock but oooooh watch out,   they bleed really quick!  Reminds me of the Canson Manga card weight paper pad.   I like it and look how it changes the flesh colors…the ink doesn’t soak in as much either IMO.

I think that’s it!  Happy weekend and stamping!  It’s all pretty here again…covered with snow! lol
