Freshly Made Sketches.......thanks

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today I asharing a card I made using the sketch this week

 at Freshly Made Sketches:

I thought the pretty flower in the stampin Up Hostess set called Gifts of Love would be perfect for the upright element on this sketch.

I stamped it a couple of times onto some Thick Whisper White card stock and colored using my Aqua painter and ink pads, I used Melon Mambo and Mint Mararon.

I fussy cut it out and added it to my card front piece with some dimensionals.

The bottom strip is made up of a piece of DSP and a piece of silver Glimmer paper.

The "thanks" is a non SU die that I purchased online a few weeks back. I really love the size of this die cut, it is perfect for cards.

I did add a bit of a paper doily behind the strips mostly to cover up a smear, but I like how it looks too. :)

I finished up with a few sequins.

This piece is added to my card base with dimesionals too.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CCMC.....With Sympathy

Happy Sunday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary, this week it is a fun color challenge:

I pulled out my new Hostess set called Gifts of Love to use.

I stamped the image onto some water color paper and again onto some scrap vanilla.

I water colored the flower using The Dapper Denim and the leaves are done with the Mint Macaron.

I used the Tip Top Taupe for a wash in the background and to shade all around the flower.

I then used the splotchy image from the Swirly Bird set with the Taupe and Denim stamping of twice before stamping onto my water color paper.

I colored the flowers that I stamped onto the vanilla and fussy cut out and added them over the original using some dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and is stamped using Memento Black ink.

I added some twine around the bottom and a few little white perfect accents.

I added a small stripe of Tip Top Taupe Envelope paper along the side. 

The front was then mounted onto a base of Dapper Denim card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Paper Players....Congratulations

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at The Paper Players.

I started off with a base of White card stock.

I used a swirl die from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies. I used Pool Party to make background swirl.

I glued this swirl directly to the white base.

I stamped the flower image from one of the new upcoming Hostess sets called Gift of Love onto some scrap white. I then colored using Pink  Falmingo Ink and Old Olive ink and my water brush,

I fussy cut out the image and added it to my card using a bunch of dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from the Timeless Love stamp set.  I stamped with Black Memento ink.

I added a butterfly from the Butterfly basics stamp set. I used Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut out.

I glued it onto my scribble circle and added a few little rhinestones.

Wanted to share a Audrey Pic, snce I haven't in a bit:

She is almost 6 weeks old. 

Happy, Healthy and the light of my life!

Thanks for stopping by today.
