Dragonflies

     Focusing on two challenges at once - Freshly Made Sketches and the Color Throwdown.  I started with white card stock and smudged mermaid lagoon and cracked pistachio distressed ink.  I then stamped the dragonflies.  On another piece of white I cut the diamonds as per sketch requirements.  I stamped the sentiment and heat set that with Gold embossing powder and then added the gold ribbon.  I set the cut piece onto the smudged piece with dimensional tape and then onto a white card base.

I'd really like to add this card to the following challenges:

Freshly made Sketches = sketch

Color Throwdown = teal, aqua and gold

Get Creative : use green ( #2 )

Four Crafty Chicks = l  #291ess is more.
Addicted to Stamps and More = anything goes ! 


Thank you for looking.
Here's to an amazing day!!

Happy Birthday guys.

Using Tuesday Morning Sketches as inspiration, this card has multiple layers.   Starting with Kraft, I ink edged that with walnut stain.  I then cut beige card stock and a patterned piece as per sketch-fixed the two together and edged that with vintage photo. I the glued the paper piece onto the Kraft added a dotted hemp ribbon.  Using beige card stock again, I cut the oval with my circuit machine ( school house cartridge)  and stamped the sentiment in Gold embossing powder.   All was the mounted onto a Kraft card base with the corners rounded with my corner chopper.

I'd like to add this card to the following challenges:

Coffee, Chocolate and Cards = #105 use ribbon.

Butterflies

 Focusing on Fusion's challenge with this card.  I used two color paint chips in shades of green for a full umbre of color.  I popped a handful of mini butterflies from each shade.  Using the sketch as a guide, I glued the on the diagonal.  I added glossy accents onto the butterflies to make them shin.  I stamped the sentiment with green StayzOn ink.  This was all mounted onto a white card base.

I'd like to add this cards to the following challenges:

Fusion = sketch 

Get creative = use green.

Thank you everyone ... and have an amazing day!!

Happy Spring to all !!

Good Luck Flowers

This is for a gal at work who I just found out is leaving this week.
Using the sketch from Mojo Monday, I used black card stock and mounted the ribbon and then the two flower side pieces.  I then stamped and heat set the sentiment and cut the circle attaching with dimensional tape.  Quick note and hugs and it's already under way in the post this morning.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:

 



MOJO Monday = Sketch # 440

Tuesday Throwdown = Color Pallet

Fab and Funky = #297 using Flowers.

Card Concept = Pink ... Using the style, Clean and Layered









Thank you so very much.  Have a fantaboulous day!

A bit of denim

Following the sketch in the challenge for CASe This Sketch.  This card is all white card stock with the exception of the denim paper which I cut a strip and then edged with two different edgers.
From the same paper I cut the 'big hugs' using Simon Says die.
Tied it all together with a white ribbon.

I'd like to add this card to:
CASe  this Sketch - Sketch number 164

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards = use ribbon

Thank you very much
Have a great day and thanks for taking a peek!

Spring Trip

I'm off with my team to MyrtleBeach for the weekend.  I know they'll perform beautifully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a great weekend .... My girls did fantastic ... Superior ratings and first place.
The entire group did great as well ... all received Superior Ratings and then Grand Champion.

DoodleBow

This started out as a stamp piece that transformed.  Originally I was using a stamp set and then got caught on the phone for a while and started googling then I started to scribble on my paper.  Suddenly "light bulb"   I ran out at lunch and grabbed a small water color pad.  When I got back, I doodled the same I had before on this on this piece with pencil. I then took a fine tip  sharpie and went over the pencil.

 I brought it home - cleaned up the pencil and whipped out the water colors.

 I trimmed it down, mounted it in black to frame it with dimensional tap and adhered to white card stock.  The blue pearls I've had forever - they are so old I had a hard time getting them off the package.  They're Queen&Co.  Fast and fun.  

I'm going to attempt to do this on my phone again.  I haven't had the best of luck - keeping my fingers crossed. I'll have to fix my typos later.  Lol.  I have no idea what this post is going to look like - there is no preview - so let's just jump into the deep end shall we.  

I would like to add this to the following challenges if I can figure it out on this thing:

CASology: Doodle   (FIXED) 

Curtain Call : Rainbow (I'll have to figure out how to grab that inspiration piece) used a screen shot but it's huge.  It'll have to do for now 👍🏼😳😜
