The Cat's Meow

Hello - its time for a challenge at CREATIVE KNOCKOUTS The theme for this round would be BORDERS our sponsor for this challenge is  Sparkle N Sprinkle

For my card, I'm using 'the cats meow'  and I blended colored pencils on the image.  I then wanted to use a Martha Stewart border punch on the white cs but totally blew that by not centering correctly (it's been a while)  so I trimmed it down and then had to literally cut a frame using MFT stacked rectangles in rose gold cs.  I dropped the gold frame over the image and then trimmed any white that was showing.  I then went back to my Martha Stewart border punch and punched rose pink cs to frame the frame LOL then onto a black cs front panel.   The flowers are paper from Recollections and the leaves were cut using a Spellbinders die with of course green cs.   That was more work then it had to be.  I put some crystal stones scattered and a couple of cream neuvo drops as well.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:
Dragon Fly Dreams - For a Special Female
Unicorn Challenge - Spring

Quilted Rooster ................

The colors for this card ... packs so much fun !! The stamp is from Beccy's Place. 
I used Sharpies ! Bright Bold Sharpies.  Once I finished coloring, I used a large circle die on it.  I then used an orange sharpie to add the faux stitching.  I cut another circle larger out of yellow cs to frame it.
With a piece of lime green cs .. I ran that over my score board to give that green a bit more texture. All was stacked onto a piece of bold blue cs top fold base.
The birthday sentiment was stamped with Wilted Violet distress ink - with a stamp set by Stampendous (Birthday Assortment), cut with a banner flag die and edged with Wilted Violet as well   I added faux stitching with a white gel pen, matching paper flowers, orange and lime green Neuvo drops and buttons to match.

Spring Window

 

    This card is centered around a stamp from Beccy's Place.   Great goods there !!   I used both colored pencils and markers on the image.  I thought the pencil worked best for the bricks.
I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning to put it all together.
I have black cs that I ran through my cuttlebug with a swirl embossing folder.  The sentiment tag on mint cs was stamped with black StazOn and the stamp is from Inkadinkado.  I used wide mint green washi tape down the side and set all the squares off sides for the sketch.  Final touch were some white paper flowers.
