Tip Top Tuesday -These are for you

Hi all and welcome! Here again with another DT sample for Tip Top Tuesday. This weeks challenge is girly. That's easy for me! I love girly cards. I love adding the ribbons, flowers, bling and the list goes on an on. With this card I dove right in and added pink too! What would be girly without pink?! It was also a treat to use one of the digital images by our sponsor for this week, Heather Ellis; I chose Pure Innocence 20.

Since I typically send my cards to Operation Write Home (a non-profit organization that takes handmade cards donated to them and sends them to our deployed heros so they can write back to their loved ones-go check them out!) I kpet the design simple and without lots of dimension so it is easily pout through the US mail. 

This is the Deconstructed sketch I used for inspiration. 

You can find more sketches on my Sketch Blog tab above.

Products:

MME- Lost & Found Blush 6x6 paper pad

Jollee gems

bazzill cardstock

Copic markers

I hope you enjoyed viewing my card and take the time to browse some of my other postings and pages.

Card Making Monday # 28 - Congratulatons Banners

Hello! Welcome to another fabulous week and another card making Monday posting! I hope you enjoy this card and take time to browse my other postings too. Feel free to leave comments below and this or any other post. 

I used Quilting Bee Patterned paper by My Minds Eye along with my typical Bazill cardstock. I just love the heavy feel of this cardstock for cards! I discoverd I need the lighter stuff for my scrapbook pages even though Bazill cardstock is so lucious but it weighs the books down. I used OWH sketch #188 for this card.

I used up some small scraps for this card. I love the premade sketches for this reason. It helps me to use most of what I would consider "bucket scraps", too small to keep. I added some embossing thread, very tiny brads and some orange gems to comeplete this card.

Please leave a comment and let me know what's your favorite element of this card. I always try to reply to all the comments. Please consider following me and I would love to visit and follow your blog too! I love finding inspiration!
