Thank You So Much! for Market Street

Love is in the air! Can you feel it? I love Valentines season, there is so much pink and red in all of the stores and people get so crafty with making handmade cards, flowers, cookie and such. You can almost taste Spring in the air, hoping that it comes early this year. Can you hear the little chirps in the background?
Yeah, me neither. I live in the frigidly cold upper Midwest where we are barely to spring before the official Summer is supposed to start. ;)
This card has to be one of my favorites lately. Even though I have two girls, I am not a huge lover of pink, except at this time of year. GASP!!! I know, right? So, I thought just little pieces of it would work perfectly.
For the background I used the Hearts A Plenty stamp, and then used the So Happy set for the flower and sentiment, both from Market Street Stamps.
You might have noticed, or maybe not, but I use craft paper, a lot. I also have had the obsession with canvas and pins. But, we can talk about those issues at a later date. I also sewed around the edge of the card. I don't usually sew on paper, because, well, I am lazy. I hate to drag out the sewing machine just to do a little card. Well, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Especially when there is an idea floating around in our heads.
Well, I have been uncharacteristically chatty today, so I will now leave you with the pics. Hope you enjoy!!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Day 2

Welcome back to day number two!  I am so happy to see you all back here for my Guest Design Team spot for Peachy Keen Stamps . For today's project I will be using the Tuesday Sketch Challenge from the Challenge Blog . I used the Cheers and Green Beer stamp set for my card. I have been so focused lately on Valentine's Day that I have completely blocked out St. Patty's Day! But here is a card to remedy that. I used my Copic Markers to color in the images and used my Spica Glitter Pens for added definition. I am glad to say that I think I am finally getting the hang of these markers. I masked the coins to give a continuous border of them and used a pop dot under the mug of green beer. Don't forget to leave a comment here and at the Peachy Keen Blog for your chance to win the Valentine Cupids stamp set! Thanks for stopping by!!!
