Dueling Darlings- Roses

Our challenge for the Dueling Darlings for this month is Roses : )

Darlene was our hostess for the Darlings and Judy is the hostess for the Divas.

This pretty mage is from Uptown Rubber stamps, "She Who Has Roses". It is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on recollections #110 cardstock. 

The image is colored using Copic Markers. The DP is SEI's "Field Notes" pack. ribbon is from Michael's. Rhinestones are SU

 Inside is a Rose die cut that is colored using Copic markers from a SU thinlits die.  I added a shimmery cadrstock from DCWV and a blue cardstock from SU.  

Here are the links for all of the Dazzlers and the Divas.  I look forward to seeing all of the different versions or interpretations of the kit!

CYS-March Bunnies

March - Barbara - bejoyce--Keyword CYSMAR 
~~use a bunny or rabbit, and it does not have to be an Easter card. If you don't have one, use any animal on your card

The image of the bunny on the swing is by Uptown Rubber Stamps, the row of bunnies on the bottom is by Stampin Up,  the Easter eggs in the grass are by Embossing Arts, the sentiment is by Bugaboo Digital Stamps,

 I colored using Copic markers.  The tree trunk and leaves were freehand cut.  For the tree, I colored using Copics for texture and the trunk is embossed using a Tim Holtz Sissix EF . The Grass is cut using a Cheery Lynn die. The sky is sponged using SU Soft Sky and I used a SU scalloped oval punch for my template. All cardstock is Stampin Up.

 I bought these stamps about 10 years ago, and it's the first time they have seen ink!  Fun story- when I was a young nurse, I worked the 3-11:30 shift.  After work, we would go to a nearby park and swing!  It was so nice to spend time together but swinging is so calming!  And, at midnight, we did not have little kids that wanted the swings.

Challenges:
The sketch at The Outlaws gave me the idea for the layout.
