Sweet Friend!


It is time for another The Three Musketeers post. We are ready to showcase the card we all created with the image that Kelly sent-left for me--for Card #41!   All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time!  Jeanette will be up next for the March challenge and I am sure it will be a fun image to play with! Be sure to come back to see what we create!


For our February card, Kelly bought this stamp during her January visit to Wisconsin. We stopped at Village Ink & Paper in Greendale, which is the home to Gina K Designs. She spotted this stamp set and knew she had to have it.   She said the image and coordinating sentiments were inspired by her trip.   She stamped the images at my house and then hand delivered them to Jeanette and me that same weekend--how sweet!  I hope Jeanette and Kelly like my card.  

Kelly will need to come back to visit in the summer as we have many Annabelle Hydrangea plants in the front of our house and they are beautiful when in bloom.  They are white, but I do love the purple variety too!

The hydrangeas have Wink of Stella on the blooms for a bit of shimmer.  


 
Here is the inside of my card--I love the sentiment and I know it is true!


Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards!  They may post today, or it may be upcoming, so be sure to check out their blog for their card!

Noble Deer


Here is my February Crafters of Faith card.  This is a great group that my friend Kelly started on SCS. This is our 14th month and Liz gave everyone this challenge:  Psalm 42.1  Create a masculine card with a deer on it.

I inked up a very old Stampin' Up set from 2004, called Noble Deer.  I bought the stamp set at a rummage sale and I am not sure I have ever used it.  I inked up the great image with Early Espresso and used my Copic Markers to color.   I think this set was a good choice for this challenge and I like the way it turned out.


Here is the inside of my card:



I hope Liz, along the others like my card this month!  We are to post between the 7th and 10th of each month, so if you look on my sidebar, you may see other creations.  I know that there will be many posted in the COF thread on SCS too! Shelly is up for our March challenge and so be sure to check back to see what she picked.

You Can Make Me Laugh

I inked up one of my favorite stamp sets from The Project Bin. I love this set and I have used it often ever since I got it.  I love all of the great sentiments!    I think everyone can use a sweet card like this!

I hope everyone likes my card!
