Hänglar Stänglar ... I Think I Love You

It's true ... I love these little Hänglar Stänglar stamps!  My friend Alicia actually gave me a couple images through a RAK about a year ago and I've been a little intimidated to try them.  Admittedly so, I'm the girl who stamps an image about 5 times and colors it different ways until I like it!  Remember I'm a Copic newbie!  So you can imagine the great pressure I put myself under to get this right on the first try ... ohhh the turmoil! 

Today's card was created using CPS Card Sketch # 162:

 

Here's my take on the challenge:

I used the new Basic Grey Green at Heart paper.  I love using the 6" x 6" pad.  The patterns are smaller as compared to the 12" x 12" paper and they seem to be just perfect for cardmaking.

Sanding & Paper Piecing with CPS

Another Friday night in the craft room, this time with Barbara!  So with the windows open and the music cranked, we set out for our crafty evening ... this time I used CPS Challenge #160, which is a sketch, as my inspiration. 

  

Barbara and I had a great laugh when I went to adhere my image to the card.  Ummm ... it was too big!   So I didn't quite get the horizontal element in but I did add a ribbon bow to the card.  So here is what I came up with ...

I used CTMH cardstock and sanded the paper after I embossed it so that the core would show through.  I love their cardstock, specifically because all of the cardstock has white core.  I also had quite a fun time paper piecing this card.
