Birthday Balloons

 Hello again guys!

I am popping in here quickly to share the card I made for the challenge  at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  It is a sketch challenge and here is this weeks sketch:

Here is my card: 

I have really been enjoying this Wildflower Birthday Paper pack (retired).

I have been using Pretty in Pink for several cards lately and this DSP matches it perfectly.

The base of my card is thick basic white, and the images are from the paper pack it  has die cuts in it.

I don't think I made a card using die cuts before this one.

My sentiment comes from the Simply Said stamp set and I finished up with a few Pretty in Pink dots,

Well, that is it from me today.

Happy Stampin'

Hello

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Today's card share was made using the cgallenge this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments. This time it is a fun color challenge: 

My card:

I am again using a favorite set at the moment, Stampin Up Help Me Grow

The base of my card is thick basic white, I followed that with a piece of DSO from the True Blue paper pack, it was a product of the month and no longer available.

I die cut the large circle with basic white usinf the Spotlight on Nature dies,

The flower arrangement is in a flower pot cut with using Pecan Pie. I wiped it with my White craft ink pad to make it look like an aged clay pot.

I made my leaves by wetting some watercolor paper and then using a brush to apply some Old Olive ink for a variety of colors of Old Olive/ I also cut a few with Old Olive cardstock.

I then arranged my foliage in the pot,

I die cut the flowers using Misty Moonlight cardstock and added them to my arrangement.

I die cut the name stake with Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment using Pecan Pie ink.

I mounted the flower arrangement to the circle with dimensionals.

Then added it to my card base piece,

I finished it up with  a bow made with some Misty Moonlight twine and some Misty Moonlight gems.

I added some tiny little yellow gems to the center of the bigger flowers.

Well, that is all for now. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampij!!

Rainy Days are Better with You

 Hello Peeps!!!

Today's card share is one I made using the challenge at Inkspirational Challenges

The prompt is 

I pulled out another retired stamp set called Playing in the Rain stamp set.

My card:

The base of my card is Balmy Blue and then a layer of a piece of Balmy Blue DSP that I mounted on  a piece of Basic White cardstock.

I used another piece of Basi White to stamp the rain with Balmy Blue ink. then

I stamped the bunny image twice onto some Basic white and then colored him up using Blends.

I die cut him out with the matching dies and add the second bunny over the first image with dimensionals. I then matted this piece with another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. 

I finished it up with some gingham balmy blue ribbon and few blue enamel dots.

That is all for now, thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin'
