Release Day and Sweet Saturday Challenge!

When I first colored the image for today's MSB challenge I wasn't sure if I was going to like the result. I don't often use purple. After I finished I decided I was going to start using it more often! :) I colored the boots with Bic markers and added a little bling to the flowers. I stamped the background paper with VersaMark ink using the SU set "Beyond the Basics". All paper is SU. I made the dots with my white gel pen.

Check out this challenge later today on the MSB blog or swing by the store and get your hands on some of the amazing new releases!

Wishful spring thinkin'!

Since I refuse to let go of my hope that spring (weather) is really just around the corner I've been inspired to work on some pastel cards.

I am not a pastel kinda girl! I have nothing against soft hues, but I prefer natural and bold primary colors.

This is a card I made last night:

Stamps: Spring Gifts by Stampin' Up
Paper: DCWV The Sweet Stack
Embossing: Sizzix template
Coloring: Bic Write-It markers
Glitter: Stickles White
Ribbon: Michael's

I'm thinking that if I make enough spring cards the weather should start to warm up simply because of my sheer determination! I better work fast!!
