Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you are all well and in crafting mode.  Here are the colors for this week's challenge:

And here is the card I created.  I went for a masculine card.

 

The heart stamp is from a Unity Stamp Co. KOM from November 2012 called so into you.  I colored in the heart with water and a water brush on a Fired Brick (Ranger) Distress Ink pad.  The sentiment is from love is grand, also from Unity.  It is the December 2015 Sentiment Kit.  This card was finished off with pattern papers from Authentique and Echo Park.  I also added a few Prima metal hardware pieces.

Thanks for visiting; check out the rest of the team; and come play.  Hope to see you at CYCI!

Until next time...keep crafting in peace and love,

Can You Case It, #104, A Sketch Challenge

Welcome to this week's edition of Can You Case It?!  I have to say, I really LOVE this sketch!

Here is the card I created:

I normally do not create cards with cute little animals, but I made an exception when I saw this stamp set, Lil' Smartie Pants, from Unity Stamp Co.  I thought he would be adorable on a Valentine's Day card.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I stamped it in Coastal Cabana (Stampin' Up) on white cardstock and attached it to a postage stamp die cut (Crate Paper).  The large doily is from the July 2012 SMAK kit, cre-ate (Unity).  It was also stamped in Coastal Cabana.  Pattern paper is Bo Bunny and solid pink paper is Authentique.  I used Derwent watercolor pencils on the bird image.  Thanks so much for visiting and I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful cards. 

Until next time friends...
