FMS.......Hello

Hello Peeps!!!

Popping in here to share a card I made using the sketch this week at 

Freshly Made Sketches:

I used the Thoughtful Bunches thinlits along with some pretty fall colors to create my card.

I die cut flowers using Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry,. The leaf is die cut with Old Olive card stock.

The base of my card is thick Whisper White and then a layer of cherry Cobbler and then more Whisper White.

I used a small strip of  Basic black for my sentiment panel.

I heat embossed the Hello from the Flourish Phrases stamp set.

I used a few Candy Dots in the flower centers to finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge this week at Global Design Project, this week it is a sketch:

Great open space on this sketch, so I took the opportunity to try out this Faux Mother of Pearl technique.

I love the look altho you can not see the fun glimmer in my BG piece.

I used some frost white shimmer paint, that was from Stampin Up but no longer in the catalog, under my inks to add the shimmer, I used my Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo ink pads for sponging.

I love those two colors together!

 I die cut and layered two flourishes for my card front.

I left a few parts of the flourish unglued so I could curl them up a bit for added interest and dimension.

The sentiment is from the Build a Birthday stamp set.

I added a small silver glimmer heart to the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

SUO challenge......Happy Birthday

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge this week at the SU-Only Challenge Blog.

The challenge is Black and White with a pop of color.

I pulled out my new Flourish thinlits to make my card. I love these thinlits, they die cut so easily and come out of the dies perfectly, I only used my magnetic platform and the acrylic plates and card stock slid right out with just a small poke of a few of the holes on the back of the die.

I added the flourish to my white piece with a bit of glue.

I used the Botanical Builder dies for my Melon Mambo flowers, the bigger flowers on here are added to the flourish with dimensionals and the two smaller ones are glued directly to the flourish.

The sentiment is from the Rose wonder stamp set.

I went a bit overboard with my rhinestones, just cos, but I love them!!! :)

I added a very small stripe of DSP down the edge of the card for some added interest.

Thanks for stopping by today.

CCMC..........Just a Note

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

Today I have a card to share with you

 that I created using the sketch this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

I have not played along with their challenges in forever, I was thrilled to see this fun sketch when I took a peek over there, so I had to give it a go.

I started with a base of white card stock and followed that up with another layer of white.

My little blue square I made using a bit of water color paper and inks.

My flower and sentiment are from the Flourishing Phrases set. I love this flower in the set, that is full of wonderful phrases with great fonts.

I stamped my flower using Watermelon Wonder ink, twice, and then cut out and layered them up.

The pretty leaf stem is from the Flourish Thinlits and I used some Pear Pizzazz card stock to die cut it.

I used a few basic pearls here and there to add some interest.

Thanks for stopping by today!
