Lily Boo's DT Card Shaped Card

Card made for the following challenges
This month the challenge at Lily Boo's is to make a card.  I am not very creative when it comes to shaped cards and usually avoid those challenges but can't avoid this one.  I usually rely on my circle nesties and make a circle card but was kind of tired of that so I got out some nesties and decided to make an easel card.  After I got my card put together I wanted to add something at the top to look like confetti or those horn blowers so I added strips of paper and curled them.  The image is by Lily Boo's and the paper is basic grey June Bug.

Crazy For Challenges CASE one of the DT cards I used the sketch
by Lori Boyd
Ok usually I save orange and black for October but I found a challenge this week that was burnt orange, black and cream so I went for it.  Of course this is a sweet pea stamp.  My blog is starting to look like I need to join their DT Hint Hint:)  One of my new techniques I am using is making my backgrounds with chalk.  It is so easy.  I also chalked the flower because it was originally pink.  Hugs to everyone in blog land.

Very Colorful and Very busy little card

Well I did something different this week... I took some days while at Aly's violin lesson or while sitting on the couch with my hubby and just colored with my copics so today I had some images and I put together the cards. Usually I match the coloring with my paper but I did these backwards. The horse digi is by In Style stamps and I really like their new line. The fairy of course is Sweet Pea Stamps. I kind of like dotting the background. The paper is by SEI Their two new lines. Thanks for looking. Oh and if you love digis like me check out my digi blog group on SCS http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=488634

They are having an anniversary and the customers were to make a birthday or anniversary card. I love these stamps and love coloring them. I wanted to add color to the background of the stamp so decided on dotting the background with copics. Thanks for looking at my card.
