My card today is done with a Bugaboo digital stamp of a simple, single rose. I decided that a CAS card would be in order to best show it off, and I chose a sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy (though I tweaked it a bit for simpler proportions.) The arrow becomes the bow and the circle becomes the butterfly.
I colored the Rose with my Touch Twin markers, using the color palette from the challenge at Touch Twin Challenges (I love these markers and keep adding to my collection all the time! Yes, I also have and use both Copics and Promarkers, but the Touch Twins are equal to both those brands and have a lower cost.) :-D
The dp was in my stash and the dp on top originally had very pale beige flowers but I colored over the entire piece with the yellow Touch Twin. The ribbons are also from my stash. I added sparkle gel pen to highlight the rose petals and the word "rose" in the image, sealed with Crystal Effects, applied with a tiny paintbrush, so none of the sparkle can flake off. The butterfly is a dimensional sticker in a complimentary red.
Other challenges:
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenges -- Anything Goes
Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps - Floral Fantasy
This card is already in the next box of cards going off to Operation Write Home so that one of our deployed troops can use it to write home. Wouldn't this be perfect for a Mother's Day card from one of our soldiers to his or her mom? If you want to know more about OWH, click on their name above and read about this incredible organization. Maybe you'll want to join in yourself with making cards for them.
The weekend is almost here and I hope you're going to stay warm and cozy and find lots of crafting time. I appreciate your visit and you'll find hot tea, cocoa, and fresh baked peanut butter cookies there on the counter. Help yourself and have a browse around while you're here. Happy Stamping.
