Monday Challenge #84 - Wish Big!

Hello Everyone,

Well over at My Craft Spot with Kimberly this week the challenge is Wish Big! (anything birthday). I love making birthday cards it always seems like I need one. Well here is my card:

To start off my card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/2. The pink layer is cut 4 1/16 x 4 5/16 and the kraft is cut 3 3/8 x 3 5/8. I cut the image from the cricut cart Love you a Latte. I cut it at 3.5 inches and all pieces were cut in white. I do this sometimes it really makes cutting fast. Then I usually use my copics. This was a great image for this process (I don't recommend doing this for large pieces) Here are the colors I used. (E35, RV13, RV25, R46, G24, & E29) I used glossy accents on the top layer for the caramel sauce. My sentiment is from My Craft Spot Birthday Wishes. The banner is from MCT.

Thanks,

Challenge Me Monday #133

Hello Everyone,

Well it is Monday and time for another Challenge Me Monday over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is down at the farm. Make a project using a farm animal (cow, pig, horse, sheep etc) Well I knew exactly what I wanted to use for my farm animal the minute I heard about this challenge. First off if you can't tell I am a city girl and when I have visited the country or a farm my favorite animal was a cat. You can't have a farm without one of these or lots of these. I needed a birthday card and what better animal to put on one. I tried to show the cat in a light of queen of the farm. I hope you like it.

The base of my card is white and it is an A2 sized card. Next I layered black CS, then hot pink, and then black again. The cat was cut from Create a Critter and cut out at 3.5" and the party hat was also cut from the same cartridge. I did some inking, and I used my i-rock for the jewels. The sentiment came from My Craft Spot, Birthday Wishes stamp set. It was the perfect sentiment for my card. I hope you like it and  check out the rest of the design team they have made some amazing projects.  Then I hope you join us this week for this really fun challenge, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Happy Crafting,
