Penny's Challenge #595 Anything Goes using paper

 Hello everyone!  I have a very quick post for you'all.  Here are the sponsors.





Two of the most wonderful sponsors that generously provide images for the design team so we can promote their stamps.  Please go and share some love and leave a thank you.  They do appreciate it!

On to my project.  I am using an image from All Dressed Up and the image is titled Spring Lamb.  

Here she is and cute as a button.  I colored her using my 
PrismaColor Pencils and my Castle Art Oil based pencils.  
I had some farm paper left over that I put in the background.
Can you see the corn and the Moo Cow?  The paper fit perfectly.
I have used a sky blue card, Lime green card and then the image.
I really like the way it came out.

Pretty simple.


The Back.

Well I hope that this gives you some ideas.  I hope everyone that celebrates Easter had a wonderful time.  

So from my heart to yours, Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.

Happy May Day!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge # 594

 Hello everyone!  Well I have to tell everyone what happened to my project for March 26, 2025.  I made a very cute ice skater birthday card.  Made sure I had enough postage on it and dropped it in the mail.  The second I did that I knew what I had done.  I didn't take any pictures.  So I didn't have a project.  But I made up for it on challenge #594.  Here are our sponsors.




I haven't worked with Mirtillamente very often but I love the images.  Polkadoodles I adore.  Go show some love gang and please leave a thank you!

I have an image from Polkadoodles that is named Ruby Oo La La.  Each year I try to make all my friends birthday cards.  It's gotten to be something they and I look forward to.  So here is the first of 10 cards for May 2025.

I received this image not colored.  So I let my imagination 
take over.  For Ruby, she has been colored with Prismacolor
pencils.  I tried using the other pencils but they just didn't cut 
it this time.  I also used my alcohol markers for skin and cheeks.
I cut her out on my Silver Bullet Pro and got started on the 
card.  The card is black with hot pink and purple solid and
a paper I actually bought many moons ago at Tuesday Morning.
The three balloons are cut out of mirrored card stock. Can you see 
the dog?  She looked like she is a great poodle person.

The inside background is made the same as the front.  I 
purchased a die on Temu and ran some dotted vellum through
my Gemini Jr.  Back it with black to make it show up.

You can't see it but this is the back.  

That is what I made for the first birthday card.  I have one more done so only 8 more to go.  

So from my heart to yours, 

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.



Happy Easter
