Dynamic Duos......Hello You

Hello Peeps!!!

I am sharing a card today that I made using the color challenge this week on the Dynamic Duos Blog.

Love this soft pallet.

 I wasn't sure when I sit down to make something what I wanted to do, so I pulled out a favorite set, Stampin Up's Secret Garden, one of my go to sets.

I stamped the flower onto some rustic card stock with Versamark and embossed with some white embossing powder. I colored the flowers with my aqua painter and So Saffron ink pad. I cut them out with the matching die.

The sentiment is from the Regarding Dahlias stamp set. 

The DSP is from the I Am Me paper pack and I used one of the Delicate Designs EF with Pistachio Pudding card stock down one side. I added some retired Very Vanilla satin ribbon and tied a bow.

After getting this all together I thought it needed something, so I took a paper doily and cutout the edge and slipped it under my sentiment circle piece and viola it was just what it needed.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Splitcoast Color Challenge....Birthday Greetings

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made for my second week guest designing with the Color Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. 

Our colors this week:

Midnight Muse, Strawberry Slush, and Pear Pizzazz.

Tell me, what is there not to love about this combo? I can make my fave kind of card, anything with flowers!!!

I started off with s base of Crumb Cake and then some Pear Pizzazz DSP from a retired in-color pack and matted that with some white card stock. Next is some  Midnight Muse DSP from the Print Poetry Pack and I added a punched border to the edges of that using the dotted scallop ribbon punch.

The flowers come from the Secret Garden Stamp set and is stamped onto some rustic white card stock and then colored with my aqua painter and my Strawberry Slush ink pad. 

I cut out my base flowers using the Secret Garden framelit dies and cut out the next layer with my paper snips and added them over the base flower with dimensionals. I mounted my flowers onto a paper doily with a circle of crumb cake card stock layered in the middle. I die cut a few leaves using the same framelit dies and added them around the flowers. I added  a scrunchy triple bow with an antique brad in the center. 

I finished it all off with some large basic pearls in the flower centers and three regular pearls in the upper corner. 

Hope you enjoy my creation. Thanks for stopping by!

Splitcoast color Challenge.....Birthday wishes

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!

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

I pretty much CASED a card by my friend Narella.

 I changed up the colors and DSP and used white for my base, but I used the same layout and flowers and sentiment she used, I LOVE her card and I wanted to try my hand at it.

The flowers come from the Stampin Up Secret Garden stamp set and I used the matching framelits to cut out the flower and leaves. The sentiment is from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set.

I love this color combo and think the card turned out really nice.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dynamic Duos Blue Birthday

Happy Tuesday peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using this week's Dynamic Duo's Challenge.

I guess you knew I would have to make a card with some flowers!  This flower is from the Stampin Up "Secret Garden"set. I stamped my flowers with Bashful Blue ink and then sponged with Midnight Muse.

The leaves are stamped with Crumb Cake.

The sentiment is from the Stampin Up Petite Pairs stamp set.

I added some bashful blue satin ribbon, I love this satin ribbon!

The DSP is from the Prints Poetry pack. I used some basic pearls for corner accents and in the middle of the flowers.

Well, thanks for coming by today!!

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!!

Dynamic Duos.....Sending love

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

It is time for another new color challenge at the  Dynamic Duos  Blog.

It is Black Tie week:

Real Red & Basic Black with a dessert option of making it a Valentine Theme!

I first decided to make some pretty real red flowers using the new Stampin Up set called Secret Garden.

I stamped one of the flowers several time onto real red card stock using Versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder.

I used the matching framelit die to cut the bottom flower out and then used my paper snips to fussy cut the other layers. I used dimensionals between the layers, popping up each layer. Aren't those flowers fabulous? Love them.

Be sure and hop on over to the Dynamic Duos Blog 

to see what the rest of the design team did with this color combo!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Hello Peeps!!

It is time for another fun challenge at Still addINKtive.

It is week 3 and we have our second combined sketch and color combo to get you motivated.

A different twist to our challenges is that you can use both parts of the challenge OR you can choose either the sketch or the color combo. It is entirely up to you!!

The sketch this week is for a square card or project featuring an image in the center.

We have some bright summery colors, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Starfruit and Chocolate Chip.

I went a bit shabby chic with my card. I combined a few sets with this one.

I used Stampin Up's   French foliage in the Background, the flourish is from Everything Eleanor and the flowers are from the new Secret Garden set, I love that new set and it's matching dies.

The base of the card is Chocolate Chip card stock and I cut it with the Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die.

The next layer is Tempting Turquoise and then Very Vanilla for the main image panel.

The flowers are stamped with Tempting Turquoise and Summer Starfruit.

I used one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack for the centers.

Be sure and pop over to the Still addInktive Blog to see what the others did with this great challenge.

I sure hope you have time to play along.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Color Challenge...Thanks So Much

Happy Hump Day Peeps!

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

The colors this week are Raspberry Ripple, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.

I got a few new goodies this week so I had to give them a workout.

The flowers on here are from the new Stampin Up set called "Secret Garden" and the best thing is this set has a matching set of framilit dies.

I stamped the flowers with black stazon onto some confetti cream card stock and colored using my aqua painter and raspberry ripple ink.

The base of the card is Raspberry Ripple and then a layer of Confetti Cream and then three strips of Soft Suede that I embossed with the Vine Street EF which is a SAB item.

I used a couple of peices of DSP from the Print Poetry pack, on one side cut into banner flags.

I finished it off with some Raspberry Ribbon and a few basic pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today!
