CRAFTY HOs' DIGI and RUBBER STAMP Challenge

Wow, crazy weekend!  Lots of wind storms which prevented me from access to my trusty computer or laptop because we kept losing our internet connection on Saturday night and Sunday.  So, please excuse some catching up posts:) 

Before I even get to the NEW CHALLENGES that I have made cards for, I want to share a bit about my weekend.  I was fortunate enough to take a class taught by Beate Johns from Splitcoast.  She is an amazing crafter and very funny and sweet.  I really enjoyed the class - it was fancy fold cards and coloring with Copics.  She really taught a lot, especially about coloring with Copics and I think you may notice in my creations, but I will let you judge for yourself:)

My first post today is to let you know about the NEW CHALLENGE at CRAFTY HOs' CHALLENGE.  Our challenge this week is to use a Rubber/Clear Stamp plus a digi stamp.  I have chosen an image from WHOOPSI DAISY SHOP as my digi and a clear sentiment stamp "Great Times!" from Fiskars.  I colored my image using Copics and my newly learned coloring method.

DPs are from My Mind's Eye and Best Creations.  Lace and button hearts from JoAnn.  All rounded squares cut with Lifestyle Crafts dies, large rectangle and sentiment tag cut with Nesties.  Bling flowers from Me and Kaisercraft.  CS is Bazzill textured.  Hope you like it.
