Hello

Hello Peps!!!

 Today card share is one I made using the challenge at Sunday Stamps, a fun color challnge.

My card:

I used two shads of pink for my flowers and two shades of green for the leaves, which is hard to see the difference in the green but it is there I promise.

The flowers come from the Fragrant Layers stamp set.

I use a technique to color my flowers that I saw demonstrate by Patty Bennet.

I stamped the fill in stamp of the flowers in Pretty in Pink and then used a sponge dauber to add Melon Mambo ink to the stamp and then stamp again and it adds the deeper color. really easy but makes a pretty flower.

I did the same with the leaves using Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.

I mounted the flower image onto a Basic White die cut using the Branching Out Dies with dimensionals.

I used DSP from the 6" x 6" 2023-2025 In Color pack that is retired. I love Pfetty in Pink and am sad it is retired too, but hoping it will come back when they do a color refresh.

The pretty embellishments are from the Dreamy Flowers that is a part of the Velvet Meadow Suite.

My sentiment comes from the Fragrant Layers stamp set an I die cut it using a die from the Scalloped Blooms Dies.

That is it for today, thanks so much for stopping by!

Thanks, from all of us

 Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing a card I made using a couple of challenges.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I went with the middle horizontal line, Patterned Paper, Free, Twine.

and also the challenge at Just Add Ink

 

 

I used Patterned Paper, Animals, and Twine.

I just received the new Product of the Month for June last week, a cute stamp set called Wild Bunch

It is so cute, I wanted to use it. My card:

I stamped my three images, there is one more in the set but I just needed three images for the sketch,

I colored these up with my Blends using Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Pecan Pie, Golden Glow and Barely Blush.

No dies with this set so I fussy cut the images out.

The base of my card is Crumb Cake, I then matted a piece of Crumb Cake DSP with Basic White. 

I die cut three white circles using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I added them to my card with liquid glue.

I then added the two side cuties to the circles with liquid glue and then the cow was added in the middle with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from a retired set called All of Us.

I used some linen thread to wrap around this layer and tied a bow.

I then added this to the bas card.

I finished up with some metallic gold dots.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I used the sketch this week at As You See It.

The Suite I use is called Violet Dreams, an if you are a purple lover this one is for you an even if you are not, it is a beautiful suite. 

My card:

I stamped one of the flowers in the bundle three times and colored with my Blends.

I used Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, and Peaceful Pine.

The base of my card is Highland Heather followed with a layer of Gorgeous Grape and then a piece of the DSP.

I die cut the Oval Scallop from the die set and trimmed of just a bit of one side to match the sketch graphic.

I adhere it to the edge of my DSP layer with liquid glue.

I die cut the flowers I had colored with the matching dies an added the back two with glue an the front one is on dimensionals.

Bright Christmas Wishes

 Hell guys!

Today I have another Christmas card to share. 

I am using the sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

My card:

I am using a Christmas set that will be available in July in our Online Exclusives.

Ii is called Pretty Poinsettia and it has matching dies.

I love poinsettias, my Mom always used them at the Holidays to decorate, so they remind me of her and our family Christmases.

The DSP is also an Online Exclusive that will be available in July called A Stitched Season.

Those dies are so nice and leave a pretty embossed look.

I used Real Red for my card base and then a layer of Basic White.

I picked out three patterns from the DSP Pack to use on my card.

The circle is from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

The sentiment is also from the Poinsettia set. I die cut it with a die from the Textured Bote Dies.

 I added a few red rhinestones that I had in my stash.

Thanks for coming by today.
