Color Challenge....Blessed Easter

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

This week is a Sweet Medley:

You could you pick 3 or more of the colors. I used Basic Black, Pistachio Pudding, Pool  and Summer Starfruit. Which I just now noticed is not pictured in the color graphic. 

I decide to go Clean Simple with my card, I used the Blessed Easter single stamp from Stampin Up. I love those tulips. I stamped with black stazon and used my aqua painter to color. I used Summer Starfruit for the tulips, Pistachio Pudding for the leaves and added Pool Party around the flower.

The base is PTI white card stock and the DSP strip down the side is from the Sweet Sorbet paper pack. I added a strip of Basic Black down the edge of the main panel and rounded two corners with the Envelope Punch Board. I then mounted the main panel to the base with dimesionals I then added three small pearls under the sentiment and it is done. 

Thanks for coming by and taking a look!

Easter Blessings

Happy Monday Peeps!

Yesterday I had some time to stamp and actually did!!! I was inspired by the color challenge this week on the Dynamic Duos Challenge Blog. The colors this week are Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky and Pale Plum. I used those colors but added in some Old Olive for my leaves, so I am not linking this card over there, but I am loving the color combo!!

I knew that the Rich Razzleberry and Pale Plum (which is a retired color) would make some pretty Spring tulips. So I pulled out my Stampin Up Blessed Easter stamp and masked off the attached sentiment and decide to use this beautiful Easter Blessings single stamp from last year I believe. It is another single stamp from Stampin Up.

I stamped the tulips with black stazon ink onto some PTI white card stock and then colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

I stamped the sentiment using Razzleberry ink and I colored the swirls with my Old Olive marker.

I added a few matching rhinesones and matted with Razzleberry and Plum card stock.

The base is Pale Plum followed by white and then a piece of Razzleberry that I embossed with a dot EF.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for all you kind comments and e-mails.

Sweet Sunday...Sweet Baby

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day 

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I was down to the wire with this card, so I went fairly clean and simple. I also was in the need for a baby card so I pulled out my Stampin Up "Baby We've Grown" stamp set. I have never used it and I have to tell you this little bunny is ADORABLE!!!!! It is a fairly small image so perfect for the little image on the sketch. 

The base of the card is Strawberry Slush card stock and I followed that with some basic black. The DSP on here is from the "I Am Me" paper pack. 

I used the Alphabet embossing folder with more strawberry slush card stock and matted that with more basic black. I sponged the top of the alphabet panel with a bit of white craft ink.

The bunny image and sentiment are both from the Baby stamp set and is stamped with black stazon ink and then watercolored with my aqua painter and my ink pads. I used Smoky Slate and Strawberry Slush inks.

I used my wide oval punch to punch out the bunny and then I used the one of the Designer Frames Embossing Folders for the black matt around it.

I added a little basic pearl to the bunnies bow and three more pearls to the right corner.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:
