A couple of challenges!

This first card is for the Verve Sketch challenge on their blog. I don't own any of the Verve stamps "YET" but I still liked the sketch and a few random winners will get a new set from them so might as well try huh. This set is from the dollar bin at JoAnn's , I have had it forever so it is about time it seen some ink!



Stamps: You Lucky Duck (JoAnn's dollar bin)
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Old Olive, Whisper White card stock, Kiwi Kiss dp
Ink: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss
Other: Copics, buttons, ribbon, scallop border punch,corner rounder, black marker


This next card is a mystery image. I am so glad to I am able to share this card with you. You see this is a swap that the hostess sends everyone the same mystery image, you have no idea what you will get. Then we are assigned partners and make a card with the mystery image. Well I received the images and set them aside because I was in the middle of something and then could not find them! I was getting nervous so I was trying to decide if I should try to find the stamp or e-mail the hostess and beg for more! Then out of no where they show up! Weird how that happens, I look and look and then when I give up---there they are. So needless to say this card went out a bit late to my partner, but she should have it by now?!? So here it is....


Isn't he cute, I love giraffes and this one just looks like he has the biggest smile on his face. I love it. I matched it up with a Hero Arts Sentiment set I had.

Stamps: Mystery Image Giraffe, Hero Arts Sentiment
Paper: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, More Mustard, Whisper White
