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.

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!!

The challenge this week at Stamp, Ink Paper  is all about Love.

I had not used my Meant to Be stamp set and matching framelits yet, because to be honest, even tho I had seen tons of wonderful cards using it, I was uninspired and a bit intimidated by the set.

I told that to a friend and she was surprised and replied that she thought I was never intimidated by anything. LOL!! So many things intimidate me.

 

But once I stared to work with the dies a bit it all came together.

 

 

 

I die cut some hearts with  real red card stock and some DSP from the All My Love pack

.

All the die cuts beside the circle sentiment piece are from the framelits set.

 

 Thanks for stopping by today.

SIP.....thanks

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

While out blog surfing early this week I came across a new challenge blog, well new to me anyway

Stamp, Ink Paper Challenge Blog, SIP for short!

This week It is fun SKETCH CHALLENGE,  so I knew right away I wanted to play along. I saved it to my computer so I could play along and yesterday I got the chance.

Here is the sketch this week. 

I had colored up this image from the Stampin Up single stamp called SweetBriar Rose a couple of days ago and thought I might be able to incorporate it onto the sketch.

The image is stamped with black stazon onto some of the new thick whisper white card stock. I then used my Aqua Painter to color.

I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Tangelo Twist for the flowers and Old olive for the leaves.

I fussy cut it out with my paper snips to use on the circle element of the sketch.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and then another layer of Crumb Cake that I embossed with the Stylish Stripes EF.

I then added a strip of DSP from the Neutrals paper pad.

I tied some linen thread around this piece and tied a small bow.

The flower piece is added to the circle with dimensionals.

I used the Greeting thinlits to die for the Thanks. I die cut with basic black and Gold Glimmer paper. I glued them together offsetting just a bit so the gold would act as a highlight.

I then cut three small stars and tied them onto a piece of linen thread and added that under the bow with a glue dot.

Well, that is all from me!

Thanks for stopping by today.

HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
