Rainy Day Stamping

It's a dark, dreary and rainy day here in Maryland so I thought I'd spend the day in my stamp room. I recently joined the BRAK group on SCS and I got my first assignment...I have 6 ladies that I will send birthday cards to for the month of April. Here are 3 of the cards that I made today.

The Changito stamp I picked up this morning at Michael's. I used SU Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Pixie Pink and GP110 white cardstock. The DSP is also SU, but once the package is open, I can never remember the name of it! I do know that it's a retired DSP. The image is colored with Copics. The grosgrain ribbon is from the dollar bin at Michael's.
This is the first time that I've used my Crazy for Cupcakes set. I used Close to Cocoa, So Saffron and GP110 white cardstock. Again, the DSP is from SU, as are the white and chocolate chip grosgrain ribbons. The image was colored with Copics and 'spattered' using SU's Creamy Caramel and Itty Bitty Backgrounds. The main image is popped up on pop-dots.
This is another card using Crazy for Cupcakes. I used Wild Wasabi, Pretty In Pink and GP110 white cardstock. The DSP is from My Favorite Things (spring series). The image was colored with Copics and I used a sponge and YoYo Yellow to create the glow from the candle. I also added clear dew drops and Glitter Adornments (spring collection) from My Favorite Things.
I hope the ladies like their birthday cards!!
I saw today's Sketch on PCP and thought I'd give it a try. You can see the sketch challenge here--> http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/sketchchallenge/forum/topic/show?id=2076575%3ATopic%3A421758. Here's the card I came up with:
I think I covered all the 'rules'. I used SU's Sahara Sand (a color I rarely use!), Basic Black and GP110 cardstock. The DSP is also SU. The stamp set I used is an oldie but a goodie- Paint Prints. The "Hello" is from Simply Circles. The card was dry embossed using my beloved Cuttlebug. I'll probably send this card to my senior friend, Miss Laura.
Hope you enjoyed my rainy Saturday stampings!!
