Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #44







The Current Peachy Keen Challenge is a sketch plus a Monocromatic theme. I picked shades of green (although I did add a little pink chalk for the bunny's cheeks)! I have had a lot of time to do challenges because we have had the most snow on record for January in NY. We have had 2 blizzards and a large storm every week for the last 6 weeks. Guess what, another one is predicted for next Wednesday! I don't mind the snow but I am sure getting tired of shoveling!!! Sure wish I was headed to CHA in California! The kids are loving all the days off from school. Ahh I remember those days!!!
Well on to the project. This card is 5.5 X 5.5 . I used my Gypsy to weld the shamrocks to the top layer. Then I layered more shamrocks on top.

Materials:
Stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-264 Easter Egg Words and Bunnies
Copic Markers
Ripe Avacado, New Leaf and Spring Moss Cardstock from Papertrey Ink

Imagination Monday "Chinese New Year" Challenge




Hello, I made this card for Emma's Imagination Monday Challenge. I don't have an Imagine but I love to participate anyway! I had picked up the Pagoda Cart from M's for 9.99 the other day and as I was looking through the hand book I saw this cut. Right away I thought of this card. I am so happy it came out just as I had "imagined" it in my head (Usually it takes another direction and comes out differently, hehe).

Materials:
Pagoda Cricut Cartridge
True Black Cardstock - Papertrey Ink
Patterned Paper - Wonderful Winter from MMI
The "Noodles" - hemp cord from the jewelry aisle at M's

Thank you for looking and have an imaginistic day!!! Love, Cathryn <3
