CPS #116

It has been a while since I've done a card for the Card Positioning System challenge. This week (CPS #116)  is being sponsored by Bella Stamps. I should really have used a Bella Stamp, but I just finished coloring this Whipper Snapper Designs image, and it's pretty cute, so I though I'd use it. Besides, there is a Bella Challenge due for tomorrow, and I just received my new Bella Stamps, so I'll try to do a Bella card for tomorrow.

You can find the CPS challenge here.

This is the sketch:



This is my card - note that I have reversed the sketch sideways:

The image is Sofia by Whipper Snapper Designs, coloured with Copics and shaded with Prismacolor crayons.  I have raised it with foam dots (SU dimentionals).

The pink cardstock is SU Pretty in Pink and the yellow glittered cardstock is by DCWV.  So are the glittered pattern papers.

The yellow border is cut with a Martha Stewart punch.  The buttons are Basic Grey.

That's it!  Thanks for looking!  Merci de votre visite.

Edited: I had made a mistake: called it CPS #64, when actually it is CPS #65. I changed it in the title.

Another Mothers' Day card and CPS#63 challenge

I needed to do a Mothers' day card for my friend Josée - I owed it to her from our last SU Club meeting swap.  I also wanted to do something for the CPS63 (Card positioning system), so I combined both ...

So here is the sketch from CPS63:

and here is my card:

From the sketch and the exemples, I presumed that the card was a tri-fold, at least that is what I did.

So here is my card opened:

The cards are a little washed out I don't know why - I took the photos in the bright daylight....

The image is SU Bloomin Beautiful.  It was colored with Prismacolor crayons and Fragonard (Gamsol).  The shapes (circles) were cut with Nestabilities, so was the square and the oval for the greeting.  The paper is SU Certainly Celery Designer Paper.  The CS is SU Almost Amethyst.  The greeting is a stamp from Bonnidee (local stamp store), the brad is Making Memories.  The greeting was stamped with SU Blue Bayou Classic ink.  The stiching is done with a SU marker.  

The card was scored with my Scor-Pal of course.

The ribbons are SU Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.  The slot for the ribbons was pierced with a SU ribbon slot punch.
