crafting this and that

Hi!  Here's another card for Splitcoast Stampers Hope you can cling to challenges .  This time I made a card for the pink critters challenge .    I went with a super simple layout, the same one as the card HERE .  Again I used colored pencils and tried the no stamped lines technique.  The elephants are from Paper Smooches' A Little Lovin and I think they are so adorable.  The sentiment is also from Paper Smooches' (Sentiment Sampler).  And I made a little pink ribbon with bling. Thanks for reading!

Hi!  I saw that TGF was one of the sponsors for Splitcoast Stampers Hope you can cling to challenges .  They have a whole bunch of challenges listed and will be adding more to benefit breast cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center.  You can read all the details on their forum.  One of the challenges listed is hosted by Beate and is called Encircled with Love (make a circle card) . I knew I wanted to make a card with TGF's Fancy Anya because of the way her hands are apart enough to place a small ribbon between them.  I used my lacey circle nestabilities and tried to just keep it simple and it's blank so the recipient can use it for whatever kind of card they wish to. Still practicing my pencil coloring using just my kids' pencils.  I also wanted to try the no lines look that I first saw on Carisa's blog .  You can see it HERE .  She did hers with Copics but I'm too chicken to try it with pens so thought I'd ease into it with pencils. ...
