Wicked Wednesday with Vera Lane Studio

Hello all!  Confession time!  The current Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge with Vera Lane Studio actually started last week.  I've been so darn busy that I'm only just now getting my post up.  I suppose it's a good thing that the challenge runs for two weeks now instead of one.  I have a whole lot of stuff going on in my personal life right now so I hope you will forgive me for being so late.  Our theme for the current challenge is "Make Your Own Sunshine."  I've used two sets, Change the World and Just Fly for my ATC.



Here's what I've used to create this ATC:

Spectrum Noir Markers
Copic® Markers
Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White
Recollections® Home Basics Paper Pad
Blue Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
E-Z Runner® by Scrapbook Adhesives®
3D Foam Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives®

Have you ever wished you had wings that would allow you to fly above the clouds?  I know I have many times!  I've always felt like this sentiment describes me to a "T."  I was raised in the 60's and 70's so I've always had a little hippie in me and I guess I always will!  Yep, I'm feelin' pretty groovy!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again real soon!  

Hugs,
Lea

Bicycle Basket

Over at Stampendous, we're wrapping up a week of beautiful spring flowers and the many containers we put them in!  Is there anything more magical than a Bicycle Basket full of flowers?  There's something very European about the look that takes me back to the three years I lived in Germany.  Great memories!

Spectrum Noir™ Markers (FS1, FS3)
Memento™ Bamboo Leaves Ink Pad by Tsukineko®
May Arts Ribbon®
Grasshopper Cardstock by My Colors®
Pebbles® Garden Party 6x6 Paper Pad
E-Z Runner® by Scrapbook Adhesives®
3D Foam Mounting Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives®

Here's what I did to create this card:  

Stamp bike image with black ink on white paper.  
Die cut image.
Stamp sentiment on white paper with green ink.
Trim green cardstock in an A2 card base with a tent fold.
Trim floral patterned paper to fit card front.
Trim ribbon to wrap around width of patterned paper and adhere layer to card front.
Adhere bike image to card front.
Using foam squares, adhere sentiment to front of card.


Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you've enjoyed all the fun spring container inspiration this week.  I know I love to create cards for your viewing pleasure!  I hope you enjoy your day and the weekend ahead.  I'll see you again next week.
