Outlines - Four Legged Friends

This week's challenge over at the Outlines blog is Four Legged Friends! I used this sweet kitty in the flowers (Mini Catwalk F-1167) for my focal point and Script Happy Birthday (C-1050) for my sentiment.  The kitty and flowers were colored using Copic markers.  The patterned papers are from Crate Paper's Neighborhood Collection and my layout is based on this weeks Card Patterns sketch #129.

RI Sketch Challenge - Happy Birthday Roses!

We are starting another sketch challenge today over on Repeat Impressions' blog - The House That Stamps Built! For my card, I used Rose Window (917-I), which I colored with Copic markers to match the Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe papers I paired it with. I also used the Happy Birthday (113-D) sentiment, which was stamped using Broken China Distress Ink. The two ribbons I used are from SEI.

Outlines - Buttons!

This week's challenge for the Outlines' Design Team is to use Buttons on our cards.  That's not too hard for me - I use buttons on most of my cards!  I selected Round Posy Small (E-1040) (which happens to be on sale for 20% off!) and Round Posy Medium (E-1039) and paper pieced them both using SEI's Corinne papers.  I also paper pieced the Stems (B-385) and Clematis Leaf Medium (B-112).  The sentiment is Script Thank You (B-1054).  The buttons for the flower centers are from Crate Papers Flea Market collection.

Please be sure to stop by the rest of the Outlines' Design Team members' blogs to see the button cards they have created:
