Still AddINKtive #4....Sympathy and Prayers


Hello Peeps!!
Time for another new challenge at Still AddINKtive Challenges!

This week it is a fun sketch and color challenge, you can make your card or project using just the sketch or just the colors or use both!!



The challenge this week on The Paper Players is to make a Sympathy card, so I decided to incorporate that into my card.
 I used the Secret Garden set along with the matching framelit dies to make my card. I stamped the flower with versamark and emboss with white embossing powder. I did this several times so I could layer up the flowers.


The base of the card is Crumb Cake and then the next layer is Early Espresso and the DSP on here is from the Print Poetry pack.
My card is kinda busy and all the flower and leaves sorta hides the sketch, but it is there I promise. :)
The sentiment comes from the Petite Pairs stamp set.
Be sure and hop on over to  Still AddINKtive to see what the rest of the girls did with this challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and 
HAPPY STAMPING!!

Merry Monday...Seasons Greetings


Happy Monday Peeps!!

Time for a new Merry Monday Cahllenge!

This week is a fun color challenge:

These colors say "Snowman" to me, so I pulled out my Stampin Up "Snow Much  Fun" Stamp set
I stamped the snowman onto some white card stock and colored him with my aqua painter and ink pads, using the three colors.


The base of the card is basic gray and then I used another layer of gray that I embossed with a snowflake EF.
I added a piece of retired DSP across the bottom and added some white satin ribbon with a pumpkin pie button.
I used my new oval framelits to die cut the snowman out and added some scallops around him usinf the Marina Mist.
The greeting comes from the Four the Holidays stamp set. I finished the card off with a few silver pearls.
Be sure and head over to Lesley's Blog-Always Playing with Paper to see what the rest of the Merry makers did with this color challenge, I am sure you will be inspired to play along!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Sunday......Here For You




Happy Sunday Peeps!!!


Here is the Sweet Sketch Karen has for us this week:


I pulled out a sweet new set, Stampin Up's Million Dollar Moments, this is a hostess set in the Spring Mini.
I love that silhouette image. I stamped with black stazon onto some confetti white card stock. I then stamped it again using some Summer Starfruit and cut out the umbrella and added it over the image with some dimensionals. I added the raindrops using Island Indigo ink. I matted the main image piece with Island Indigo card stock.


The base of the card is the Confetti White and then a layer of Island Indigo. The DSP is from the SAB catalog and is called Sycamore Street.  I added some Summer Starfruit ribbon and a couple of  gold pearls.
The sentiment is from the same set, and I used my 1-1/4 and 1-3/8 inch circle punches. 
Finally for the top element of the sketch I added an embossed cloud. I used the Cloudy Day EF and cut out one cloud. 



Be sure and check out what the rest of the team has made with this sweet sketch:
