Card Challenges!

I had the opportunity to spend some down time with my sister last weekend when she was feeling a bit under the weather. We hung out and watched tv & some movies and I took the opportunity to play with my Copic markers and some new stamps that hadn't seen ink yet! I took Pink Paislee's "Queen Bee" 6x6 paper pad with me and coloured some images to match it... then at our Crop last night I had the satisfaction of completing FOUR cards! Even more satisfying... I get to participate in some challenges that are still fresh! (I think I got my Stamptacular Sunday card in last week about 2 hours before they took down the links. LOL)

So... here's the first card! This card was done for two challenges- Friday Sketchers (I rotated the sketch to suit my image) & Raise The Bar (challenge to use Yellow, Grey & White).

It was fairly easy for me to fit the sketch- I used half of a 'flip note' (love these little die cut gems!) instead of the half circle on the sketch and added some ribbon & Distress Ink to punch up the yellow factor :) This sweet little fairy is by C.C. Designs, a new company we're carrying in the store, and the sentiment is by Hero Arts.

This second card isn't for any challenge... it's just a twist on the card I made for Mother's Day. I used the same layout with different papers from the 6x6 pad. Have I mentioned how much I love this collection of papers? The sentiment on this card is by Cornish Heritage Farms and is also new in the store this week!

Hey Tara! What color yellow Copic did you use for these cards? It seems I have enough yellows but not the one I need to match this paper. Thanks!
