Cute Dinosaur Card and Sketch Challenge

I don't usually use stickers on my cards but when I was at my local scrapbooking store, I just couldn't make myself walk by these guys! they were just too darn cute!!

I used Lauren's weekly sketch challenge #2 although I did move the circle to be on the other side of the main panel for balance purposes.

The light blue in the card is actually blue vellum placed over white cardstock. I used it because it was a perfect match to the WINGS on the dinosaurs back -- see it in the close-up! That is one of the things I loved the most about these cute little guys!!

Supplies: Paper-Marigold Morning, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!), Light blue vellum (unknown); Stamps - Faux Ribbon, Polka Dot Basics (Papertrey Ink); Ink - Bayou Blue, Wild Wasabi (Stampin' Up), Versamark; Other - home-made cloud template, sponge dauber, stickers (Sandylion), 1 1/4" circle punch.

Do you use stickers on your cards?? I'd love to see your work. Maybe it will inspire me to use them more often. Please leave a link if you'd like to share.

Thanks for visiting.

Loonie Stamper Challenge #12 - Love Blooms

It took me a while to get to the Loonie Stamper Challenge #12 but I got it done today. The colors were picked by Maria. When I saw them I thought they were going to be easy....was I ever wrong. All the Loonie girls seemed to be able to get that red in there so I was thinking why is this so hard for me. I really had a hard time incorporating the red in with the Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet. But I finally thought..."think small" and decided to use one of my most favorite buttons!! I think I've only used one of them before on a card. I just love them so much it is hard to actually give them away (I'm such a bad horder!!). So, I'm sure this heart on the branch idea is something I saw in multiple places but I could never remember. In fact, it kinda reminds me of THIS tag I made a while ago. Thanks Maria for a great challenge.
