Custom Card Monday

How is everyone's weekend going?  I love Easter, don't you?  I gave up sugar for lent.  That was probably the hardest thing I've given up for lent! (Last year I gave up coffee and it was one of the best things I did for my body).  I finally had some sweets for the first time since March 4! :)

Anywho, it's Monday! Which means time for another card!  This one came from a customer who wanted a birthday card for her pilot brother.  Found some cute stamps at Deasy Designs! LOVE them!

Colored the digi with Copics and sponged a sky background with SU inks.  Clouds are from the SU cupcake builder punch.  Paper is some retired SU paper (it was from a Halloween stack).  Candy dots are also from SU. 

Entering this in the following challenges:
Emergency Crafters - Polka Dots

Custom Card Monday...err...Wednesday!

Busy beginning of the week here at Hawaii Paper Party! A couple of design team posts and a blog hop! Whew! So my Custom Card Monday post has turned into a Custom Card Wednesday post this week! (I feel funny posting twice in the same day. Kind of like I'm not giving posts their full day of being-looked-at potential. LOL, does anyone else feel that way?)

Anywho, here's my card!

Someone asked me to make a card that looked exactly like a painting their Mom had in her living room.  Unfortunately I didn't have a photo of the painting, just the description! It was "a pagoda on an island that can be accessed by a bridge, and cherry blossoms all around." This represented Springtime in Vietnam. She also wanted that sentiment for Chinese New Year and some lanterns. Here's what I came up with!

All cuts are from Pagoda, but added more pink flowers with a SU punch for dimension.  Also sponged the sky and water with some SU inks. 

Entering this in the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes
Little Miss Muffet: Anything Goes
Stampin Boutique: Own Background


Hope you enjoyed my custom card this week!
