Grandma's coat button

Hiya and Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year. I spent New Year's day at my craft table working on the countdown challenges that Gina had on Stamp TV.
What made it more fun was that Abbi made some of the cards right along with me and asked if I would share them with on my blog with my cards. Of course I had to say yes! *smile*.

Our cards today were inspired by the 'Adding a Button to a bow" Challenge.
This is my card...

Stamps: Sung from the Heart

Ink: Memento, Copics

Paper: SU, Little Yellow Bicycle

Other: Spellbinders - Squares/Label/ Fancy Tag, Ribbon, Buttons

The toaster is from the Sung from the Heart stamp set. I did a combination of coloring with copics and paper piecing. The copics I used are E71, E74, E77/E51, E53/E34/B93.
The dp is from Little Yellow Bicycle which I picked up at my local Archiver's store.
The button I added to my bow is from a jar of buttons that were my Grandmother's. I remember her having a winter coat that looked like this button.

This is Abbi's card...She picked out a couple different pieces of pattern paper and colored all of her toaster in using her Prisma markers.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you stop back soon!

CSS Sketch Challenge Hop

Hello!
Welcome to another Gina K CSS Alumni blog hop! If you came from the talented Peggy Wainman's blog, you are right on track. If not, please go to Stamp TV and start at the very beginning. I do not want to miss any of these fabulous projects the CSS gals are sharing tonight!

For this hop we were challenged to create a card based on the sketch below that our fellow CSS member Melissa Cash designed.

I decided to jump ahead a couple months and create a Valentine's cards with this sketch. I also turned the sketch into a 5x5 card.

Stamps: Gina K

Paper: Gina K, Basic Grey, Copic X-press It

Ink: Memento, Copic

Other: Spellbinders Labels 15 & Hearts, Corner Round Punch

I used 3 different stamps sets for my card, Fairy Tales, Lovely Labels 2 and Sung From the Heart. The cardstock is Gina's Pure Luxury Red Hot, Smokey Slate, White and Bubblegum Pink. The pattern paper is Basic Grey's Sugar Rush.

The heart with wings was colored with copics, R35, R37, R39/E70, E71, E74.

The next stop on the hop is to the fabulous Tera Fujan.

Thank you so much for hopping by!!
