Black and yellow bird card

I made this card these colors for the challenge at Cute Card Thursday. And I used a sketch from Friday Sketchers. And I tried my hand at decorating the inside of this card.

Penny Black Salutations (happy birthday)
Papermania paper
crochet flower (made by me)
ribbon
whisper markers

Penny Black lace and pearls

The challenge over at Penny Black Saturday challenge is lace and pearls. I also used the sketch from icsketches.

And as I was aiming for those I also met the challenges over at Color Create (pinks and chocolate), Our Creative Corner (pinks, white, and chocolate), Whimsy (buttons), and Secret Crafters (for the girls).

Materials:

I'm really pleased how I colored Willow. I mainly used colored pencils, but a little bit of marker, too. However, I'm really happy with my crochet flower; I'm definitely going to make more of these. I chose orange and teal to fit the challenge at Whiff of Joy challenges; I love orange!

Materials:
Whiff of Joy stamp: Willow with cookies
Stampin' Up stamps (message from 'Delight in Life', texture on teal from 'A little bit of happiness')
Daisy D's paper
color pencils
Whisper markers
2.5mm crochet hook
embroidery thread
