Another super-fun thing at Splitcoaststampers is the Wish-RAK forum!! First of all, a RAK is a Random Act of Kindness!! And in the Wish-RAK forum you can make wishes and grant other people's wishes!! For example, I don't have any Whipper Snapper animal stamps, and I haven't seen them in Canada anywhere, so I made a wish for some stamped images with those stamps. So hopefully someone who has one of those stamps will stamp me a few and mail them to me. And I have some Bella stamps or Pink Cat Studio stamps or High Hopes Stamps that other people have wished for images of and I will grant their wishes by sending them a few!!
Well, today I had the day off from work and I almost NEVER have the time to join in on one of the card challenges that they post on SCS each day. But today I was able to join in the fun! The challenge (TLC113) was to do a card with a little tab on it!! Well heck!! Half the cards I make have little tabs on them!! So away I went!!
My good friend Linda Palmer sent me a WHACK of stamped images the I had wished for when she was my secret friend in the Wish-RAK forum and I knew I would find a great image in that stack!! So I chose this one of flowers in a vase and I don't know who makes the image, but isn't it cute?? I coloured it in with my SU markers in Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Pale Plum, Almost Amethyst and Pretty in Pink. Then I shaded around the edges of the images with Sahara Sand. I also used my Stardust gel pen to add some shimmer in the centers of all the flowers. I doodled around the edge of the frame and matted it on Barely Banana and Bashful Blue cardstock.
I got the colours actually, from the pretty patterned paper that I chose from the DCWV Spring Stack (guess I shoulda said that first, huh?). I ran the pp through my Cuttlebug using the Bloomin' Dots embossing folder and mounted it on Certainly Celery paper which I had paper pierced around the frame using my mat pack. I added some narrow pink organdy ribbon and used the Round Tab Punch to make my tab. I stamp 'all you need is love' from Cute Converse on the tab. I then used my new long Flowers die from Cuttlebug to make the flower. I pop dotted everything (as per my usual) and Bob's yer uncle!! I was really happy with my Technique Challenge card!!
Oh and don't forget to comment on the last post to be entered in for some yummy Kimmie's Kandy!! Heehee!!

I love your cards Kim - this one is so sweet!
Oh Kimmie this is lovely, I love that image, its great and you have done a fabulous job on this sketch challenge
The card is beautiful in these lovely soft colors. The stamp you used is from Great Impressions. I own this and love it especially for autumn colors, but now that I've seen yours in these soft colors, I'm going to have to give this a try.
I love the beautiful Spring Card. The stamp is Great Impressions I think. I'll check on it tonight.
Super super cute card. I love the colors and how you did the background. I have to check out that wish rak. I would love to get me some stamped Bella's
What a great card. I love the colors, the dry embossing, the mail image, the Lay-out...everything. TFS!
I have posted some wishes a while ago, but haven't received any yet. :o(
Such a cute image. I absolutely love how the circles on the DP mirrors the Cuttlebug embossing. So pretty!
