I would pick you

The optional twist for the April Challenge at Path of Positivity is "Inspired by Nature"

 

I have used a digital paper for the background.  The images are from Anne's Digital Art, Crafting with Jack, Digi Stamps 4 Joy and Imagine That.  Coloring is with copic markers.

Front of the card:

 and the inside:

 I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The sentiment is from Crafting with Jack.  I added some butterfly stickers to the inside panels for interest.  The die used on the front is from Cottage Cutz - I think it may have been from a previous Butterfly Challenge.  It was a bit too long for the front of the card so I chopped off one of the butterflies and added it in a different place.

Happy Birthday

 The first challenge for May at Incy Wincy Designs has a theme of Mothers Day and/or flowers.  The sponsors for the challenge are Pattie's Creations and Stamper's Delights.

I have had four attempts at including the logos for the sponsors but blogger isn't playing ball this morning and I really need to do some other things so I'll come back later and have another attempt.

I have used an image from Pattie's Creations called Potted Spring Tulips.

I also used a digital paper from Crafting with Jack.  The sentiment is from Limited Runs.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added a flower and two leaf embellishments in one corner.

Cat in a Laundry Basket

Having had cats that like to put their fur all over the clean laundry if you leave it out, this image appealed to me:

The card is for this post at Crafting with Jack:

I am also entering this card in the challenge at Tuesday Alchemy:
http://tuesdayalchemy.blogspot.gr/2013/01/challenge-49-anything-goes.html

This card uses backing paper from a pad by Kate Knight. The image is from Crafting with Jack and is called cat in a laundry basket.  I have used some glitter cardstock at the top for a bit of contrast and added some rhinestones.  I have a piece of ric-rac braid from American Crafts wrapped around the die-cut image.  The die is a Spellbinders one.


While I am doing this post, I am including links to two other cards using Crafting with Jack images. Both of these are for the progressive challenge at Lady Anne's.
The first is a religious image:

The second is a traditional candle image:

I think if you are quick you can still get these images and join in the progressive challenge at Lady Anne's.  The link is on each of those posts.

Christmas Candle

A nice traditional Christmas card:

This card uses background paper from a paper pad called Christmas Collection.  The image is from Lady Anne's Progressive Christmas Challenge and comes from Crafting with Jack.  I have matted with some olive textured cardstock and added three green rhinestones.   I've added some Glossy Accents to the candle - in the photograph it actually looks like the candle is burning!

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Last year I had a shortage of more religious themed cards.  This one will help to prevent that problem  this year!

This card is for the following challenges:

The image for this card was a supplied image for the progressive christmas challenge at Lady Anne's.  The image comes from Crafting with Jack. I printed the image out twice - once on cardstock and the other on paper.  I made a mask of the image using the paper copy and then stippled Distress Inks on the cardstock.  The Distress Inks that I have used are Mustard Seed, Dusty Concord and Forest Moss.  I then used the Dusty Concord with a wet brush and brush stroked over the stippling of that colour to give it more of a realistic random sky look.  The image and stars have been coloured with copic markers E11, C7, W7, G99 and Y08.  The stars have some Glossy Accents added to make them twinkle.
