Kich n Bleus Design Team Tuesday

Hooray!  It's another Kich n Bleus DT Tuesday--with a fun new twist!  Every week we are having a BLOG HOP!  How cool is that?  And you have a chance to win candy at every stop!  If you haven't started with Kich n Bleus, then feel free to start the hop there!  This month, we are showcasing the new spring collection.  I am the last stop on the hop.  If you arrived here from Kristen's blog, then you are on the right track!

The Spring Collection can be seen below and purchased by clicking the link at left:

I really love these fun images!  My card is a birthday card for a blog friend's daughter's 17th birthday.  She is a child with special needs, and  she loves getting mail, so several of us are making and sending cards to her.  She really loves dogs. Her birthday was actually yesterday!  I didn't get the card mailed till yesterday, so I know it will be late getting to her.

The inside says, "...was doggone great!"  I used plain white cardstock for the base, a layer from the Paper Studio Birthday Matt Stack.  I colored the digi with various Stampin' Up and Martha Stewart markers.  I hand lettered the sentiment on plain white, then inked it with Cay Eye pink chalk ink.  I tied it with a ribbon from my mom's stash.  

We each are offering 3 free images from the spring collection to one lucky winner who leaves a comment on our posts.  So be sure to comment below, and hop to everyone's post!  Also,  be sure to enter the First Kich n Bleus Challenge, where you will receive a free digi to use for your project, and you will also receive the new fairies and flowers mini collection just for entering!

My Very First Kich n Bleus Design Team Project

I am so excited to be part of this DT!  I love, love, love these whimsical "digi's." This time, we are showcasing the "Kich Goes Irish" collection.  It is available for purchase through the button on the right of my blog under "Those I'm Blessed to Design With..."

For my card, I chose to make something for my honey...he is so good to me and to our children.  He is a fabulous human being...here is the front of my card...

The card is a piece of DCWV cardstock from the Grade School Stack, cut at 4 1/2 x 9 and folded in half.  I printed the digi on plain white cardstock, and colored it with a combination of SU markers, MS markers, MS paint pens, and crayons.  The shamrock is cut at 2" from Paper Doll Dress Up for Cricut.  I printed the sentiment on plain white cardstock, then used the "centerpoint" feature on the expression to cut it out.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.  The digi and shamrock (which is inked with colorbox cat eye ink) are adhered with Elmer's dimensional tape for "pop."  

The inside is simple...Sentiment printed on a piece of plain white cardstock...then corners cut with Creative Memories paper edgers, then inked with colorbox cate eye ink.  Adhered with ATG general purpose adhesive.

Thanks for looking!
