With Sympathy

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

So sorry for the long pause on my ol' blog a roo here.

After a looooong 7 days in a row of work and of course getting lots of baby time in between working, I just haven't had much time to stamp.

I am sharing a card I made last week at the same time I did my faux mother of pearl card. 

This is a fun little watercolor technique I saw demoed on U tube a while back.

I think they called it water color splat, or something like that....lol,.

Anyway the technique is pretty simple, just lay down some ink onto your silicone mat and spritz it with some water and then splat your paper into the water downed ink.

Love the look you can achieve with this technique.

After my splatter pieced dried I stamped a flower image from the Wild About Flowers stamp set with black Memento ink.

I added a sentiment across the bottom from the Rose Wonder set.

I finished up with just a small rhinestone in the flower centers.

Very CAS, but very effective.

I have a busy day ahead so better get to it, thanks for stopping by!

Crazy 4 Challenges.....You'll Be Missed

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

Time for a new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges. 

It is the third Saturday of the month which means it is a sketch challenge.

I used the Stampin up Wild about Flowers stamp set, which I LOVE.

I stamped the leaves using old olive and the flowers are Perfect Plum.

The base of the card is Perfect Plum and then another layer of Perfect Plum that embossed using the Elegant Dots EF.

The DSP I used on here is a retired piece. and I added some Silver Glimmer Paper fro my banner

The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped with Black Memento ink.

I added a few small pearls in the flower centers and used three silver sequins in the top corner.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Sunday....Sympathy and Prayers

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

Time for a new sketch challenge at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Bllog.

Here is our Sweet Sketch this week:

I started out with one of the new in colors, Watermelon Wonder.

Don't you love this new color?

The next layer is also Watermelon Wonder that I embossed with the Elegant Dots EF.

My main image is from the Wild about Flowers stamp set.

I stamped the stem/leaves part of the stamp onto some whisper white card stock using Old Olive ink and then I stamped the flower heads onto some scrap whisper white with Watermelon Wonder ink.

I then fussy cut them out and added them to the main piece using some dimensionals.

I matted this main piece with some Basic Black card stock and added it to the base with more dimensionals.

The black striped piece is from the Neutrals pack and I used just a bit of glimmer paper and my small banner punch for the flag element on the sketch.

I was in the need of a sympathy card this week so I pulled out the Petite Pairs stamp set for my sentiment. 

I added a few small basic pearls to the flower centers to finish up the card.

Be sure an hop over to the Sweet Sunday Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this sketch!
