CFC #43 & MIM #57

I am combining 2 challenges on this card. The CAS-ual Fridays : Get Sentimental & PTI's Make It Monday: Colored Kissing.
I used Spring Moss ink on Turning a New Leaf stamp, then inked the kinda starburst stamp from the Daydreamers set in Memento Bamboo Leaves. I also used those same 2 inks for the border at the bottom of the card.
The ribbon is Ripe Avocado, I LOVE that color!

Watchdog

Just playing around with the camera. This is our dog, we like him because we don't have to take him on walks, and don't need a fence.

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger A is for...

Playing with my new camera, the first pic is taken with the lens that came with the camera, the 2nd is the telephoto lens. I am still learning, that's for sure!I love the colors in this week's Tuesday Trigger from Moxie Fab. So my take on it is B is for Beautiful (sentiment from Cornish Heritage: Sweet Bee). The background paper is MME's Lost & Found, love that it looks like school paper. The medallion stamp is PTI, and the flower is SEI Moonrise.

Winter Blues

ETA: above is new camera, below is old camera . i can tell a difference in sharpness.

so sorry for the bad lighting, i was in a hurry to get it uploaded.
This is for Moxie Fab's Winter Blues challenge, and Unity's Friends with Flair.
I stamped Unity's Insightful Meadow in PTI Enchanted Evening on a page torn out of my dictionary. I just happened to be Turkey Vulture, I thought that was funny, so I left it at the top ;)
The paper is also PTI E Evening, that is textured, and with Fresh Snow on the edges. The buttons are faux from MFT dies and MME paper. I think I got carried away with the Glossy Accents and messed one up, but oh well, I like texture.

Faux Watercolor Medallion

This was really fun to make! I used SU's really big Medallion stamp and inked it with 2 inks, and then spritzed it with water. I split the image, and then was able to make 2 cards, and this is one of them.

Dogwood Sketch

After seeing Alisa Burke's latest sketch, I just had to try a black/white flower sketch. I didn't want to copy hers straight up, so I found one of my favorite pics of Betty's, a dogwood bloom, and combined it with another pic on Flickr.

These are my 2 favorite spots on the sketch, I wish I had left a few more white spaces open. But I had fun doing it, and it was a pretty fast sketch while I watched tv.

Papaya Meadow

I needed an Anniversary card for Laura, and I just had to play with my new Unity stamps, Insightful Meadow. So I thought I could enter it in Unity's Friends with Flair this week. I stamped the flowers in Papaya ink by A Muse, on Rustic Cream paper by PTI.

The sentiment is also A Muse, and stamped in Slate (thanks Michelle for letting me play in your ink box!). The buttons are MFT dies, and I topped them with Glossy Accents, and layered them with a Cheerios box to make them a little thicker.
