Today's Challenge cards!!

  Feeling so much better has really inspired to create and this morning I have already completed two new cards for some of my favorite challenges.

   This first card was created for two challenges.  One is the Paper Scraps Challenge over at SSC, whcih you can find HERE, and the second is the  to the 'Try it Out Tuesday'  challenge over at on the 'Follow Your Heart' Challenge blog, which you can find here!  This week's TIOT challenge is to create a card based on this sketch by Suzanne Dean, using an image sold at SCACD!  

   I had originally made another card, but then realized that used the wrong image...OOPS, but started a new card this morning, using this lovely "Susan" stamp by Elisabeth Bell. 

 
   This wonderful stamp is part of the Exclusive line that Elisabeth Bell  designs for Susan's Custom Art and Card Design, one of my favorite stores.   If you LOVE this image,  then you can find her HERE,  in Susana's store.  Many of the elements I used in my card can also be found at the store and I always highly recommend you shop with Susana.  She's a wonderful person and always so sweet and kind.  She ships super fast and never over charges for shipping.  I'm sure you be very pleased when you shop at her store.  And if you like to color with Copics, be sure to check out some of the bundles that she offers. These Copic bundles were inspired by Suzanne Dean and are awesome, I used the Blue Jeans set for my card, along with some of these wonderful Prima roses.

   My second card is for another challenge over at SSC, and this is for the Weekly Card Challenge and this were we were asked to create a card using the picuture as our inspiration --

   I started by finding some pretty patterned paper that reminded me of the rainbow in pastels.  I then took a while doily and used Colorbox inks to edge it in all the matching colors.    It's my own version of the this image in a pastel hue.

  I'm off now to head over to Color Me Creative Classroom and work on my Copic Classes.  If you have not heard, Susanne has now added a LEVEL 4 class, which I am now enrolled in.  I LOVE it already and I had a lot more to learn. 
   I'm also very excited because I was able to buy the ABS1 Air Brush System for my Copics this week.  I found it at Jo's and was able to use a Promo code and buy it for half price.  If you want the same deal,  hurry on over and add the ABS system to your card, then add PROMO code HPF142 and it will take half off the (original) price, which will make it ONLY $35.49, which is by far the BEST price I have ever seen.  I also added in an extra can of Air, which is currently on sale for $10.49, another great deal.  I ordered on Tuesday and my order has already shipped!  Yippee! If anyone is looking for it, now is the time and you can use your Mr. Rebates at JoAnn's too.  Here is the link to the ABS1!  If you want to take advantage of this price and promo, please don't wait, as the promo code expires on Saturday 5/22/10!!

   As always,  Happy Shopping and Happy Creating!!
