A Spoon Full of Sugar - Get Well Soon

This week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar we are sponsored by the fabulous Whimsy Stamps and we have the theme of "Get Well Soon" for your cards. These are challenges that I usually steer away from and so it good for me to "have" to do it and this super image had been sitting in my digi file for a long while and really needed to be printed and colored :)

Challenges:
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes
One Stop Craft - Get Well Soon
Cupcake Craft Room - Flowers and/or Leaves (2 entries only)
Ruby's Rainbow - Flowers
Digital Tuesday - Flowers
Deep Ocean - Flowers
Ooh La La - Summer Flowers
Emerald Faeries - Petals (3 entries only)
Crafty Creations - Let It Shine (used pearls and glittery paper)

Card Recipe:

Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - The Blossom Song by DCWV (Michaels exclusive)
Doily Die - English Tea by Cheery Lynn Designs
Roses - Prima
Pearls - The Paper Studio
Sentiment - Printed
Trim - Wrights

This paper stack is one of my current favorites, I love the bright bold colors and the glossy accents on the paper.
Aqua has always been a favorite color of mine and I think if I was ill and received a card like this it would make me smile and would be bound to lift my spirit.
I hope you'll agree and come along and play with us at A Spoon Full of Sugar

Designed 2 Delight - Bears Big Birthday Gift!

The designers at Card Ideas get to work with the fabulous designs from Faith at Designed 2 Delight and today it's my turn to showcase one of the super sweet images!
Bears Big Gift is so cute and would work well for many "celebration" cards. I have done it as a Birthday Card but it works equally well for Christmas, a Baby Shower, a Bridal Shower and more!

Die Cut - Large Labels by Spellbinders
Punch - Morroco Lace Edger by EK Success
Buttons - Michaels $1 Spot
Chalk Ink - Cats Eye in Chestnut Roan
Gloss - Liquid Embossing in Clear Glass by Plaid (I got mine at Michaels)

I printed 3 copies of Bear and colored them and cut them and layered them (with the gift and arm being the only part on the top layer). I used regular white fun foam between the layers, so much cheaper than foam pads, I can cut it to size and it is a little thinner so works well when you are adding more than one layer.
I added Liquid Embossing in Clear Glass to his boots and inked around all the mats for a little extra touch.
I really love how he turned out and hope you do too:)
Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new card for Pink Gem Designs (and a very special Blog Hop too!) and then on Sunday it's Pile It On time!
