You're So Punny!

Hi friends! It's time for a new challenge over at SugarPea Designs.

With all the awesome SPD sentiments, this is an easy one!

I've used the cutie from Great Catch, giving him some die-cut balloons as his catch of the day! He's colored with Prismacolor pencils on kraft. Here's a peek inside...

SugarPea Challenge: Clean and Simple!

Hello friends! It's time for a new SugarPea Designs challenge, and this one is easy - clean and simple cards! CAS means lots of white space (or open space of another color) and one main focal point.

I went for a technique on my card, the chalkboard technique!

I started with some green cardstock, and sponged on green distress ink until it looked kinda mottled. Jenny, one of my fellow SugarPeas made a card with a green chalkboard awhile ago, and I thought it looked so awesome! I heat embossed the image and sentiment from the new Hats Off To You set then sponged on some white pigment ink to make the board look "chalky".

The base of the board is cut from woodgrain paper. I cut a little piece of chalk and the eraser by hand, using a dark grey felt for the eraser. The wall background is simply paper, and a strip of white cardstock. I really love how this one turned out!

Hare's To You

Hi friends! Today sees the launch of the second SugarPea Designs challenge, play along and you could win some moohlah to spend on the sweetest stamps around! You'll find all the info on the SugarPea Blog.

Once again we're having an Anything Goes challenge - so just get those stamps inky and play along!

One Big Hoppy Family is perfect for masculine but still cute cards!

I stamped and coloured the little bunny, trimming in under his arm so I could have him jumping up over the fence! I sponged in some clouds and used a picket fence distress marker to fluff up the edges of the clouds a little so they looked less uniform.

I kept the layout nice and simple, focusing everything on the window. I'm playing along with the CAS-olgy jump challenge! 

Head on over to the SugarPea Blog to see the gorgeousness my fellow peas have come up with, you're going to be blown away!
