Happy Birthday Colors

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today I have a card to share I made using the color challenge at

Just Add Ink.

I used the All That You Are stamp set for my flowers.

I stamped with Black Memento Ink and colored with my

Copic Markers, matching the challenge colors as close as possible.

I fussy cut the flowers out and then die cut a few leaves 

with white using dies from the Floral Romance Die set.

I die cut 2 circles one in Vellum and one in Coastal Cabana.

I arranged the flowers and leaves on the Vellum circle and added it to the Coastal Cabana 

Circle with dimensionals.

The base of the card is thick whisper white and then another layer of white

that I embossed with the Tufted EF. 

I used white embossing powder for the sentiment

on navy card stock. (I didn't have the Blueberry Bushel.)

 

I finished with a few little pearls. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I have a card to share that features the sketch at 

Stamps, Ink, Paper Challenge.

 This week is a great sketch:

I am using a fave set, All That You Are stamp set.

I went yellow this time using some Daffodil Delight ink and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

I stamped with Black Stazon and colored with my water brush.

 

The base of the card is thick whisper white followed by some daffodil delight card stock.

I then embossed another piece of white with the pretty Basketweave EF.

I fussy cut out my floral image and added it to the base with dimensionals.

I used the Well Written Framelits and matching stamp set for my sentiment.

I die cut 3 Happy's with basic black card sock and glued them all together.

I cut up some dimensionals into small pieces to add to the back of the die cut piece and added it to the card.

I stamped the Birthday with Black Memento ink and cut out the small rectangle.

I added it to to the card with more dimensionals.

 

I used my Wink of Stella all over the floral image and the happy die cut for some added shimmer.

I finished with a few sticky back rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by!

Get Well Soon

Hello Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card made with the challenge this week at

Crazy 4 Challenges.

This week it is a sketch:

I have found as we get older there seems to be more times I need a 

"Get Well" type card, 

so I knew I would be using this sentiment which comes

 from the Healing Hugs stamp set.

 

I stamped the flower image from the All That You Are stamp set

 along with one of the single flowers in the same set onto thick whisper white card stock 

with black stazon ink.

I colored with my aqua painter and ink pads using Highland Heather and Pear Pizzazz.

I then fussy cut them out to add to my card. I did cut away part of the image and cut apart some if it to make it fit they way I wanted.

The DSP on here is from Butterfly Botanical pack.

 

I finally was able to get a roll of the white flax ribbon,

 that seemed to be always on back order when I was placing a order.

I cut a piece and pulled it apart to use on my card. 

I wrapped it around and tied a bow before adding my main image piece.

I finished up with a few little rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by.

Happy Birthday

Hello Peeps!!

Over at Just Add Ink

they have a fun sketch to work with!

I used a favorite flower set, All that You Are.

I stamped with black stazon and colored with my Aqua Painter.

I used Flirty Flamingo for the flowers with a touch of Daffodil Delight in the centers.

The base is thick Whisper White.

I then pulled a piece of gingham DSP from the Gingham Gala pack.

I matted it with some Daffodil Delight card stock.

I fussy cut out my flower image selectively eliminating parts and I also cut the large

flower head away from the image. I added the foliage piece to my card with dimensionals.

I then added the large flower head back to the card with dimensionals as well. I moved it just slightly

from it's original position in the image.

 

My sentiment is one I had in my stash from an unknown retired set. 

I added pieces of Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo under the flower stem and then positioned my sentiment piece across the top.

I finished with a few sequins from the Gingham Gala Sequins pack.

Thanks for coming by.

I am off to see my sweet grand daughters today!

Enjoy your day!

You've Been on My Mind

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!

Over at Just Us Girls  Challenge 

it is photo week.

Highland Heather is such a pretty color and was my choice for this card.

I used the image from the All That You Are stamp set. 

I stamped with black stazon and 

colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

 I used Heather Highland and Wild Wasabi with a bi of Daffodil Delight.

 

 

I fussy cut the floral image out, selectively eliminating a few pieces, and sit it aside.

My base is Highland Heather, as is the embossed panel. I used the Basket weave EF .

I die cut a piece of DSP from the Wood Grains pack to use for my flower base piece.

I used a die from the Wonderful Floral  Framelits. 

It is a bit obscured by the flower image.

 I added some twine first and then the flower piece.

My sentiment comes from the Butterfly Gala set.

I used my Wink of Stella pen on the flowers, 

I love the shimmer it gives but it never shows on camera.

I finished up with a few sticky sequins.

Thanks for taking a look.

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Over at CAS(E) this sketch they have a very interesting sketch this week. 

Take a look

My card is my take on this sketch.

I stared by creating the pointed pieces using some paper from the Gingham Gala pack.

I added them to a piece of whisper white card stock and matted with some Balmy Blue card stock.

 I added this to my Thick Whisper White base.

 

I stamped my flowers with using the Bloom By Bloom set. I stamped the flower portion using Flirty Flamingo and on the leaves and stems I used Granny Apple Green.

I fussy cut the images out and added to my card with dimesionals.

The sentiment is from the All That You Are set. I stamped with black memento ink and die cut with a stitched circle die.

 

  I used my Wink of Stella brush to add some glimmer to the flower and leaves. 

Very pretty IRL, bu doesn't show in the pic.

I added a few sticky sequins to finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday

 

 Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Sorry for being MIA for a couple of days. 

Life gets busy, I spent some time with the grand babies and also cutting out a new quilt pattern that I have to get made before Mother's Day for a family member.

I have a hard time splitting my time between sewing and stamping. I tend to get caught up with just one and totally ignore the other. I am working on that.

anyway......on to my card

I made this card with a couple of challenges in mind. 

First up is my loose interpretation of this week's Freshly Made Sketches 

AND

Stamps, Ink and Paper Challenge to use Vellum

 I stamped the image from the stamp set All That You Are on thick whisper white card stock with black stazon and colored with my water brush and inks.

 

I colored very lightly with Calypso Coral and leaves are Pear Pizzazz.

I then fussy cut it out. I added an extra flower to my stem.

Can you see the bones of the sketch here? I hope so, I can. LOL!

The base of my card is Thick Whisper white and then I Embossed

 a piece of whisper white with the Basket Weave EF.

And a piece of DSP from the Gingham Gala to mat my Embossed piece.

 

I used one of the dies in he Wonderful Floral Framelit set and die cut with Vellum.

I added these to my card next to the flower and by the sentiment piece.

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

I added the floral image and sentiment to my card with dimensionals.

Thanks for coming by today.

Vicki 

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.

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.

For Your Birthday

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!

Over at The Paper Players

they have a great sketch challenge this week.

You all know I LOVE a good sketch challenge!

I pulled out the All That You Are stamp set to use.  

I love that set as well.

I stamped with Black Stazon onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I colored using Rich Razzleberry and Wild Wasabi ink 

and a bit of Daffodil Delight with my water brush.

 

I stamped an extra flower to add to my image. I fussy cut it all out and put it aside to do the rest of the card.

 I used Rich Razzleberry card stock for my base.

I then used a layer of white and another piece of razzleberry that I embossed with the Subtle EF.

I added a white doily to the edge and trimmed off the side.

Over the doily middle is a circle of Razzleberry card stock.

I added a couple of pieces of ribbon across the bottom portion of the doily.

The image piece is then added with some dimesionals.

 The sentiment comes from the Birthday Cheer set and was stamped with Black Memento ink.

I fussy cut around it and added it to the card with more dimensionals.

I finished with a few basic rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday

 

 Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using a new set

 from the Occasions Mini called All That You Are.

You know I love this set and it was on the top of the list for me.

I am a "flower" girl from the get go. Give me a flower to color and I am a happy camper.

I stamped the image onto thick whisper white.

I wanted to add a couple of extra flowers to the image, so I stamped

one of the other flowers in the set a couple of times as well.

I used Lovely Lipstick to color the flowers. 

Lovely Lipstick is really close to Melon Mambo and when water colored looks considerably lighter.

 

I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, loosely for my card layout.

 

I used Granny Apple Green and Old Olive for my leaves. 

I added just a touch of Daffodil Delight to the flower centers.

The base of my card is Daffodil Delight 

and I am loving the new Gingham Gala DSP.

 I used a couple of the colors on this card.

 

The sentiment is from the same set.

I am also linking this card to the Seize the Birthday  anything goes.

Thanks for stopping by today.
