Brainwave Challenge, a RAK, and an award!

Was my title long enough? Geesh! This was a card I created for this week's BWC over at Treehouse Stamps. It was a color challenge. We were to use Pumpkin Pie, Apricot Appeal, Soft Sky, and white. These leaves are part of a new set, not yet released from Treehouse! Soon very soon! Since I was at Great America all day, I needed a quick card! I am getting the hang of more simple, quick cards! I stamped the 3 colors on Whisper White. I sponged the edges, used my scalloped scissors and layered the papers. I then added a white ribbon and stamped two more leaves. I cut them out and placed them on pop dots. I then added some crystal effects to make them more substantial!

I got some happy mail last week! I need to get my act together and post things right away, otherwise I forget! This was a RAK from Gwen over at SCS, otherwise known as tturtle. She sent this adorable card and some images for being the Featured Stamper a few weeks ago! It was such a pleasant surprise. Thanks so much Gwen!
I also received this award from Noel Mignon. I am honored and touched! I have to nominate more brilliant people...but I think everyone has been chosen! I will have to give this some more thought! I was tagged by several people over the last month. I know one of you was Abrah Leah Cross. (I hope I spelled your name right!) I feel terrible that I never posted your award! So for being such a bad blogger, please send me an e-mail. I have a little something, something for you ladies! From now on I promise to post it right away!

Treehouse Challenge and a Gorgeous RAK!

This week's Brainwave challenge at Treehouse stamps was to use Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Bravo Burgandy. I used the little birdie from the Home Grown set. I colored the image in with my Copics and used my airbrush around him. I cut the rectangles out with my Nestibilities. I sewed and happened to have 3 ribbons that matched perfectly! So I had to use all 3! I then added a button and stick pin. The little metal sign was found while cleaning my scrap room. IT is a gazillion years old! I thought it worked well with this card! If you would like to see what the other girls did check out their blogs!

As many of you know, I was Featured Stamper a few weeks ago at SCS. Cindy, AKA: Mothermark, sent me this gorgeous RAK to honor my FS! She told me she made a dress template herself and even wrote the poem for me! Isn't it just gorgeous?! It is going in a small shadow box frame and hanging in my scrap room! I am so touched by her kindness! I think scrappers and stampers are the nicest people on Earth!

Well, I am off to my Copic class today! Hopefully, I will become a bit better at the blending and shading.

**Just a quick question, do people want to see Copic colors when I post a card? I notice lots of bloggers doing it. If it helps, I certainly could do that!
