Lil Pinkette August

A sweet day everyone!
Yeah I'm feeling sweet today because I made a card for this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge#197 . The challenge is " Something in the Eyelet" or to take out our stash of eyelets and use them on a card.

When I think sweet, I see pink, so I made a Stepper card using the color as my theme. I used the pretty girl "Lil Pinkette August" available at Tickled Pink Stamps. The fabulous designer paper is a November freebie from Bearly Mine Designs (lots of wonderful freebies there!!!).

I just love Lil Pinkette with that huge earphones! Is that Skull Candy? She's an epitome of girls her age who just loves music. 

The cute mini record disks on the front of the card were made by paper piecing the same designer paper but in smaller prints before I attached the pink eyelets in the middle. They were aligned with a cord-like strings and two black sequins. I punched some small music notes for additional embellishments.

Strawberries freebie at D2D

I hope you're having a berry sweet day 'cause it's strawberries freebie this week at Delightful Inspiration Progressive Challenge! This image really look luscious and sweet! Love also the plant swirls and flowers along with the strawberries. Visit Designed2Delight digital stamps for new fun summer images for your collection.
When I think of strawberries, I see shiny red color, so I made a red Stepper card. I included also Sitting Kaela from the Ladybug Kaela set of Designed2Delight available for purchase. She looks really sweet and is one of my favorite D2D images. Here's my card:

To make the strawberries shiny, I brushed PVA glue over the image and when dried, it made the red color really bright. I added some die-cut swirls and printed different sizes of flowers from the strawberry image. The sentiment is a freebie from Tlc Creations printed on polka dot paper and framed using Beaded Circles from Spellbinders.

Have a sweet day!
