Happy Birthday and Many Mower!

Today I have a card I made for the current sketch challenge over at My Favorite Things (MFTWSC66).  The image and sentiment are from the Who's That Guy I Love You Mower set.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and cut out.  I used a grass border punch on a strip of grass paper and nestled the mower in the blades.  The red pane was cut using MFT's Perfect Bracket Edge.

The patterned papers are from Pink Paislee's Hometown Summer collection.  The clouds were die cut out of My Favorite Felt Puff White.  Finished card size is 5 1/2" square.

RI Sketch Challenge - Lily of the Valley

Today we are starting another Repeat Impressions sketch challenge over at The House That Stamps Built.  For my card, I selected the Lily of the Valley image and paired it with Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden papers and butterfly charm.  I made my Lily of the Valley (4308-J) a peachy-pink to match the papers.  For the horizontal element, I layered an olive/pink striped ribbon on top of some cream seam binding and then tied a double bow with the seam binding.  The image was colored and airbrushed using Copic markers.

Please be sure to make your way over to The House That Stamps Built to find the sketch and the rules for playing along, as well as to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team has made using the sketch!
