Bunny Zoe's Monthly Challenge - Guest Designer

Happy Monday morning!  It's a super early post for me (actually, I'm still sleeping - lol!), but I am so excited today to be sharing the card I made for the new monthly challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts blog!  I was so thrilled to be invited to be Guest Designer for this months' challenge! Tracy picked the theme of "celebrations"  - any kind of celebration you'd like.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I chose to celebrate the coming of spring, which is going to be very welcome here!  Nikki generously provided me with this adorable Magnolia stamp to create my card.  It is Tilda Loves Flowers from the new Sweet Crazy Love collection.   You can find it in the Bunny Zoe's Crafts store here.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White  Iridescent cardstock and colored her with Copics.   She's framed with a Cheery Lynn Italian Flourish Doily die.  My beautiful patterned paper is from the Prima Alla-Prima pad.  I added a Turquoise Prima Rose and two Kaisercraft Coconut Paper Blooms that I airbrushed with Copics to match my papers.  A satin bow and button and a few rhinestones from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Bunny Zoe's Crafts Challenge Blog and check out the new challenge and the gorgeous creations from the design team!  I am sure you will be inspired to play along!

Have a great day!

Good morning!  Hope your day is off to a great start!  I feel a bit better today, so I am hoping to get a lot accomplished.  My tree is up and decorated and now all I have to do is get my cards and gifts in the mail and I can relax a bit.  Before I get back to it, I am popping in to share a card I made for a couple of challenges (and for some good friends for Christmas). First, it is for the current Copic Coloring Challenge on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom site, which is make a card or project that is colored only in golds, cream and whites.  You'll definitely want to check out this challenge as there are many ways to win and amazing prizes up for grabs because it is also a charity fundraiser.  The charity is Reading is Fundamental and you can read all about the charity and the challenge here.  My card is also for the Just Us Girls Challenge #114 (to make a center step card) and Bunny Zoe's Crafts Monthly Challenge #19 (to make fancy folds/shaped cards).

Here is the inspiration picture for the CMC Copic Challenge:

Here is my card for the challenges:

For my fancy fold, I chose to do a center step card since this was the technique required for the JUGS challenge.  I followed the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers here.  The base is GKD Heavy Weight Ivory.  It is layered with GKD Good As Gold and metallic gold dotted paper from the Kaisercraft December 25th 6.5 x 6.5 pad.  My image is a digi called Christmas Bells from Just Inklined.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored it in shades of gold with Copics.  I added a tiny bit of gold Stickles to the holly berries.  I used the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die to make my gold frame.  The sentiment is from the Layers of Color Christmas Verses set.  It is embossed on Cryogen White with gold embossing powder and cut out with a Spellbinders Grommet Tags die.  A gold trimmed sheer bow and a few gold adhesive pearls finished my fancy fold card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful day!
