An "Udderly Moo-arvelous" Challenge @ RRRR

Hello!
Today is the beginning of our "Black and White" challenge over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings and we would love to have you come join us! As always, there is another gift certificate up for grabs so why not grab that Black and White cardstock and ribbon and get to crackin'!
My example card is done with a Sugar Nellie image called "Custard". I have popped her a couple of times for some 3D dimension.

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's 3/8"Gingham Black and their 2mm Black Jute String to add the finishing touches.


The pretty papers are from The Paper Temptress. They are Heavenly White, Basic Black, and Black Leather.
I printed the sentiment off of my computer



I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Creatalicious ~ Show some 3D
Creative Inspirations ~ Anything Goes
Charisma Cardz ~ Something With a Tail
Polka Doodles ~ Generic Male & Female
Fussy and Fancy ~ Pink and Black

Please go by our team blog and check out the other challenge inspirations the awesome DT have for you!

Thanks for dropping by again today!
Hugs,
True :D

"Porridge The Pretty Piggy" Card - My first EIO DT Card! Woot woot!



Hello All!
I am very excited because this is my first official project for Embellish-Online.com!
I had this cute little Sugar Nellie stamp already colored up from about a year ago. I love to color so I have done way more images then I have made cards for! LOL! I have a whole drawer of them just waiting to be used on a card! Any who...Barb from Embellish-Online.com sent me my first box of DT goodies and when I saw the pretty Pink Paislee-"Cupid Collection" papers, I instantly thought of this image. The colors were PERFECT!

The piggy is popped several times then glittered and shined. I added some flowers that I punched out of the same paper, some punched leaves, some stitching, and that pretty May Arts - 1" satin ribbon  also from Embellish-Online.com.

That reminds me....Embellish-Online.com has a special going on right now! For every $5.00 in American Crafts products you purchase, you will receive a spool of American Crafts Ribbon FREE! (while supplies last) Can't beat that deal with a wet noodle!

Sugar Nellie Cat and Mouse Card

Hello friends!
Tonight I am showing my very first "Sugar Nellie" card. They have some super cute images but I have never bought any...until now. I bought about a dozen so look for more to come! :)
I used DCWV and Bazzill Dots paper. I thought I would do it in pastels to give contrast to the black kitty.
Please leave a note and let me know what you think. :)
