Thank You

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Over at the The Paper Players they have a pretty color challenge this week.

I love gray and pink together, it is so striking.

I started with a base of Basic Gray card stock and followed with Smokey Slate.

I found this pretty marbled piece of DSP from the Classic Garage pack that worked perfectly.

 

My flowers come from the All That You Are stamp set.

I stamped with black stazon ink and waercolored using Melon Mambo Ink.

I fussy cut out the three flowers to use on my card.

I laid down a piece of Vellum across the card and then added  a circle die cut from the Wonderful Floral Framelits.

I die cut several leaves from these same framelits using smokey slate 

card stock  and a few little ones using white to use in my floral arrangement.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set as the flowers.

 

I finished with a few basic rhinestones and a white baker's twine bow.

Thanks for stopping by today.

You've Been on My Mind

 

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

A fun new/old sketch at CAS(E) this sketch was the start for my card today.

I recently took the plunge and got a few Stampin Up Blends and I was anxious to give them a try.

I bought the Tea Together set and earned the matching dies just because I love the flowers.

They were my starting point for my card.

I stamped a couple of the flower a images a few times on some scrap

 thick whisper white with Black Memento ink 

and colored them with a combo of my Blends and Copic Markers.

 I definitely need more Blends! 

I die cut them out and went about making the rest of the card.

I used the stitched rectangle dies for all my rectangles on my card.

Love them!!

 

I used Highland Heather card stock and a piece of Gingham Gala DSP.

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set 

and finished with a few sequins from the adhesive back sequin pack in the Gingham Gala line.

Thanks for coming by today!

From The Heart

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

The challenge this week at Stamps, Ink, Paper Challenge Blog
is CAS Valentines.

 AND

When I first saw the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches 

I thought I will just pass this week..lol!

But I kept thinking about it and thought I'll give it a go
with some hearts to coordinate with the SIP challenge

I first started just stamping some hearts from the Meant to Be
set directly onto whisper white card stock.
 I was not really liking it and twice I smeared some ink....Grrrr!!

Then it hit me, die cut them silly!! 

So glad I did, cos I am really liking the look of these hearts. 

They remind me of the Conversation Candy Hearts.

I stamped the image several times using a variety of colors, I used Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Lovely Lipstick, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

 I then die cut them out with one of the dies from the Be Mine Framelits. I love this heart with the ruffles and stitching. 

I laid them out moving and arranging until I was happy 

with them and then attached to my whisper white piece with dimensionals.

 

My sentiment comes from the Petal Palette set.

I stamped with Black Memento ink.

I mated this piece with Flirty Flamingo cardstock and 

glued it directly to my thick whisper white base.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sending Well Wishes

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the

 color challenge at Fab Friday. 

I created a mask using the rectangle stitched dies and plain copy paper.

 I then sponged Blushing Bride and Lovely Lipstick in the opening. 

I stamped the image and sentiment with Black Memento ink.

I used the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.

I matted the image piece using Lovely Lipstick card stock.

The base of my card is Grapefruit Grove.

I added one small rhinestone to the flower center.

 

Thanks for coming by today!

Lovely Lattice Happy Birhday

 Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Over at The Flower Challenge they are asking for us to use or newest Stamps or Dies.

The Lovely Lattice stamp set from SAB is one of my favorites right now.
I really love the flowers on this stamp and I really enjoy coloring them.

I stamped the image with black stazon onto thick whisper white
and colored with my water brush and ink pads.

 

I then fussy cut out and set aside to do the rest of the card.

The base is Crumb Cake card stock and then an embossed layer of white, I used the Subtle EF.

The pretty gingham is from the Gingham Gala pack.

I added a die cut scallop strip from the Be Mine Framelits 

followed by a small strip of crumb cake

 

The flower piece is added o the base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the You're Inspiring set.

I heat embossed it with white embossing powder on a small strip of

basic black card stock.

I finished with a few little sequins from the Gingham Gala Adhesive Back Sequin pack.

Thanks for coming by today!

Stinkin' Sweet

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

I am using the fun sketch at  CAS(E) this sketch 

for my card today.

  Also the theme challenge this week at The Paper Players is all about Love.

Do you think my stinkin' sweet skunk qualifies? 

He is awful cute and spreading some love so I say yes!! :)

He comes from the Hey Love set, and he my be my favorite from the set.

I stamped the image and sentiment onto my oval die cut with Black Memento ink. 

I colored with my Copic Markers.

 

I used a base of basic black card sock.

I then took another piece of basic black and embossed using the Corrugated EF.

I added a small piece of black gingham from the Botanical Butterfly pack.

I used a small strip of Real Red between the two layers.

I cut out a red scallop oval to mat my image piece and added it to the card with dimensionals.

 

I finished it off with a few basic rhinestones.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

SUO....Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday peeps!!

Today brings a new challenge at the SUO Challenge Blog. 

This challenge is all about flowers!

For my card I used the Mojo Monday Sketch.

 I also pulled out a flower set I love from the Occasions catalog called All That You Are.

 

I stamped the flower with Black Stazon ink and water colored using Lovely Lipstick ink. The leaves are colored using Granny Apple Green ink.

I fussy cut out the floral image and set it aside to make the rest of the card.

 

The base of the card is thick whisper white card stock. I then used a layer of basic black.

All the black and white DSP on here is from the Botanical Butterfly pack. The other is from the All My Love pack and the flagged vertical piece is Lovely Lipstick card stock.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. 

Hope you can join us for our flower challenge this week.

Thanks for coming by!
