Thinking of You

Good Morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and a fun Valentine's Day if you celebrate that!   Now it's time for the weekend and hopefully a little extra crafting time!  I'm here a card I made for two of my DTs, Guylou's Inimitability and the Copic/ProMarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  I rarely have the opportunity to combine these projects, but it worked out this week, so I went for it.   The theme for the Copic/ProMarker challenge is "thinking of you" - can be general or sympathy and Guylou's challenge is "three in a row, that's the way to go" - a BINGO challenge.

First, here are the details for the challenge at Guylou's Inimitability:

Kim is our hostess this week and she is challenging us to use the BINGO card below to select the elements for our project.  I chose button(s), free space, ribbon.

Challenge Deadline:
You have until 10:00 PM (EDT) on February 28th to link your project to the Inlinkz at the end of the challenge post.
How to participate:
You may enter only ONE project per challenge, but if you use a Guylou's Inimitability digistamp, your project will count for two entries.  If you don't have one of Guylou's digistamps, you can check the online store where several freebies are available.  
Challenge Prizes:
A winner will be selected randomly and will win:
1. A $10.00 gift certificate from Guylou's online store
2. An invitation to be a Guest Designer on one of our upcoming challenges

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Melon Mambo and the patterned papers are from the Pebbles Sunny Side collection.    My sweet image is Leah from Guylou's Inimitability.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored here with my Copics.  I added a touch of Stickles to the pink flowers on her hat.  She was cut out with my Cameo and popped up on foam tape.  I stitched around the background papers and the image frame.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some ribbon, a flower button and a few heart gems finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit both the Guylou's Inimitability blog and the Copic/ProMarker challenge to check out the beautiful creations from both DTs for the respective challenges!    I would love to see your creations for either or both challenges!

2. An invitation to be a Guest Designer on one of our upcoming challenges

Here is my CAS with Kraft card:

I started with a square card base of Kraft cardstock.  I added a center panel that was punched on both sides with a Fiskars border punch then layered with patterned paper from the Basic Grey What's Up 6x6 pad.  I machine-stitched across both borders.  My fun image is Angela from Guylou's Inimitability.  You can find her in Guylou's on-line store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with my Copics.  I sponged a few clouds in the background, then stitched around the image panel.

Here is a close-up of Angela:

The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A Kraft twill bow and a button from my stash finished off my card.


Be sure to visit Guylou's Inimitability blog and check out the fantastic creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will be inspired to play along with the challenge!

I'll be back later with my DT card for the Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.
