There is nothing quite as sweet as the images by Anita Jeram for Colorado Craft Company. I pulled out these Tea Time sweeties to enter the Color Throwdown Challenge #743. Lime, Pink and White are the colors required with neutrals (gray here) allowed. I am also entering the Art Impressions Challenge. I made a video of putting together this card including all my coloring and I plan to edit it to use as an Instagram reel in the coming days. My files are larger than normal because I just left my phone recording the entire time I was coloring all the images. Gonna be a bugger to edit. (Edit: Video is finished and on my reels on IG @tinypaperblossom.)



I colored all the images with alcohol markers by Copic, Dick Blick, and Spectrum Noir. I cut them out with the matching dies. Next, I used Sweetly Stitched Shapes dies from Stampin' Up! to cut out all the stitched circles from old Stampin' Up! and Jillibean Soup paper. I used a die from the Mama Elephant Window Dressings die set to cut the white panel. I used plenty of foam adhesive to build the dimension on this card. Finally, I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things Birdie Brown's Greetings Galore attached with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. I made the fishtail with a small square punch. 

I have many more images from Colorado Craft Company and Anita Jeram colored; I just need to make them into cards. 

Have a great day!





A clean and simple feline card came together for several challenges. The challenges called for using green, making it vibrant, using a pet, using a cat, and using a curve. I love trying to hit so many requirements with one card. It's like solving a puzzle. The cat rubber stamp I've had for several years. I purchased it at The Paper Crown in Waco, Texas. It's called Meow Mix but I'm going to need to research the manufacturer. I stamped it on Gina K Pure Luxury Heavyweight white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored in tiny portions with gray and pink Copic and Spectrum Noir markers. I fussy cut it. I used a circle cutter to cut a large circle from the corner of a piece of white cardstock. Underneath that I put the green and white polka dot paper from Jillibean Soup (Soup Staples in Olive Sugar). I punched three hearts from SU's Melon Mambo cardstock with a retired triple heart punch from Stampin' Up!. I adhered the cat with foam adhesive and then the hearts, and then added the sentiment strip from Paper Rose.

What is your favorite card challenge? I have so many. This card is entered at Addicted to CAS #215 (Feline), Inkspirational Challenge #260 (Curve), Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #205 (Vibrant), Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #539 (Pets), and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (add green).
