COOL

This is my design team submission for Try Stampin' on (or not) on Tuesday. This is the sketch for this week  I hope you join us for some fun.

For this card, I started pulling bold colors of scrap cs from my left overs box and ran that through my Cricut cutting flower shapes with the Accent Essentials cartridge. The stamp is from Recollections (comic talk) and I used hot pink embossing powder on designer black and grey paper.  On the flowers,  I added faux stitching and dots with sharpie markers and glossy accents in the petals of the large blue flower.  I dropped large enamel dots into the centers of all three flowers.   All on top of a black top fold cs base.

Thank for stopping by and checking it out.
Have a fantastic day and happy stamping !!

Pretty in Pink

Hello from Team B at the Brown Sugar Challenge.  The theme this week is Anything Goes and our sponsor this week is

For this card, I started with blending Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Warn Lipstick and Mustard Seed onto white cs.  This image is colored with both colored pencils and markers.   I cut a piece of pink cs with an arched die and then ran that through the cuttlebug with a tiny dotted folder.  The sentiment was stamped on ballet pink cs with hot pink embossing powder with a Tim Holtz stamp set.  I added a piece of ballet pink ribbon and a handful of paper flowers.  All of this on a pink cs top fold base.

I hope you have fun playing along.
Thanks for stopping by ...

Have a great day.

L is for Ladybug

 


     This card has inspiration from a few challenges.
I started with a piece of black card stock and I stamped ladybugs with a set from Inkadinkado. I cut a piece of ladybug designer paper from Recollections and got that ready to go.
Grabbing a black base card I put the first piece of black and white washi tape alone the bottom.  Then the ladybug paper.  Then the lady bug stamps and topped that with a piece of red card stock cut as a flag that was stamped with the same white embossing paper with a Tim Holtz stamp.









I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may .....
Just Add  Ink = "L" is for Ladybug.
Sweet Stampin' = Sweet 'LADY'bug
Seize the Birthday = black and white and one color

Negative fly

                            So, what do you do with the piece of scrap from your image cut?  You make another card of course.  For this one I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday for inspiration.
            This is the negative left over from the dragonfly cut in the card before.   I grabbed a piece of white cs and sponged Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet and glued that behind the cut negative.
           I trimmed it up a bit and ran faux stitches around with a gold gel pen.  I stamped the sentiment with a Hampton Arts stamp and gold embossing powder.
               I added the different color washi tape .








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

Mint Flies

    This is a card using a sketch challenge from the Outlawz Challenge.  Using mint green cs I cut the circle - ran that through my cuttlebug with a daisy folder and mounted that onto a doily.
   The sentiment was stamped with a Hampton Arts stamp onto mint green vellum and wrapped around the circle.
The smaller butterflies were cut with a punch from paint swatches in various shades of mint.
The larger dragonfly was cut with both mint green cs and black cs  with my cricut (Art Nouveau) and layered.
      The light grey base went through the cuttlebug with the same daisy folder and the green and I added the green washi tape across the top






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

Craft Rockets =  make it feminine
Simon Says = make it green

Spring Window

 

    This card is centered around a stamp from Beccy's Place.   Great goods there !!   I used both colored pencils and markers on the image.  I thought the pencil worked best for the bricks.
I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning to put it all together.
I have black cs that I ran through my cuttlebug with a swirl embossing folder.  The sentiment tag on mint cs was stamped with black StazOn and the stamp is from Inkadinkado.  I used wide mint green washi tape down the side and set all the squares off sides for the sketch.  Final touch were some white paper flowers.









I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:
Outlawz Challenge: Progressive
Beccy's Place Challenge
Crafty Catz = ATG with a touch of pink
Creative Friday = Flowers
Fussy and Fancy = Springtime

HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY EVERYONE !!


               Using the color palette from The House That Stamps Built I worked up this card.  Starting with lite gray card stock, I cut the background with a Spellbinders PostageStamp Die. I cut a second one with a slightly darker shade of gray and trimmed it down and stamped the sentiment with a Hampton Arts Stamp, black StayzOn and clear embossing powder to shine it up.  I also edged the top hickory smoke ink.  I cut the flower out of different shades of gray and black cs and highlighted with a white gel pen.
All of this was adhered to a white top fold cs base and then some pearl gems added to the corner for some blingage.








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