Beautiful Things

Hello and happy Friday. This card is for this week's Sketch Challenge SCS247 and Color Challenge CC237 at SCS. I used my new set from the Little Paper Shop called Beautiful Things. Isn't that a pretty sentiment on the front of the card? I wasn't too crazy about this week's colors for the color challenge (Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Currey, and Basic Black) until I got them on the card. Doesn't that always seem to happen? They are really bold and look quite good together.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you tomorrow with another card. I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,

I'm Sorry

Hello and happy Wednesday again. I made this card for today's sketch from SCS - SC245 and yesterday's color challenge from SCS - CC235. I used Lovely as a Tree from SU to make this a fall card that also conveys a message to let someone know that you are "sorry for that thing you said". Great sentiment. I could use it everyday of my like I think. LOL

Thanks for stopping by. I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,

CPS111 & CC214 - Wedding Hanna

This card is a submission for two challenges this week, Card Positioning Systems Sketch - CPS111 and SplitCoast Stampers Color Challenge - CC214. I used a new stamp set I received this past Saturday from Hanna Stamps called Bridal. I think this Hanna that's getting married is absolutely adorable. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful stamp!!!

I started with a Bordering Blue card base and used Bella Birds as my designer paper. The coordinating colors are So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip. Hanna was stamped with SU's Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, and colored with Copic Markers. Her wedding gown was highlighted with a Sakura Glaze Pen but I don't think the sparkle shows up very well in this picture. It's nice and glittery IRL as well as her earrings. The main image is mounted on Long Rectangle Nestabilities. I stamped the sentiment with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink also, embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder and cut out with SU's Large Oval Punch. A designer brad has been put on the upper right corner of the sentiment panel. It is finished off with some White Organdy and Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon.

Thanks for coming by to check me out on this Wednesday. I hope to be working on SCS's Sketch Challenge later today so be sure to check back with me to see what I have come up with. Have a great week. Talk to you soon.

MOJO80 & CC212 - Easter Anya

This is for Monday's Mojo Sketch Challenge MOJO80 and for SCS's Color Challenge CC212. I thought it was time to print off my new "Digi" Easter Anya from The Greeting Farm and get that pretty girl on a card. Isn't she a cutie?

I started out with a Riding Hood Red card base and used designer paper from 2 different packs, Riding Hood Red Designer and Bella Birds Designer. The colors for yesterday's Color Challenge at SCS were Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip. I printed Anya on to Whisper White cardstock on my printer and colored her with Copic Markers. I'm trying to work on getting a more watercolored look with my markers. Please let me know how I am doing? Suggestions are very welcome. Double click on the picture for a closer look. Anya is cut out and mounted with Rectangle Nestibilities. The upper left panel has 3 Kaiser Rhinestones and the ribbon is Riding Hood Red Grosgrain. I stamped the sentiment from one of my Easter sets from Stamps and Smiles that says "Hoppy Easter", perfect fit for this bunny image, don't you think? It was cut out with the Large Oval Punch and matted with SU's new Scallop Oval Punch. Piercing was added around the outside with a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer.

It's time tomorrow for another Sketch Challenge from Stamps and Smiles so check back and find out what you could win by playing along with the sketch.

Thanks for coming by to check me out. Have a great week and I'll talk to you soon.

CC209 & TECC57 - Praying For You

This is my submission for yesterday's SplitCoast Color Challenge CC208 and for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge TECC57. These are not my normal colors so this card was a little hard for me.

I started out with an Always Artichoke card base. I used a piece of the dotted rose paper from the designer pack Raspberry Tart for the background paper. I inked the main image from the SU set Thoughts and Prayers with SU Markers in Basic Black, Rose Red, So Saffron, and Always Artichoke and stamped it on a white panel cut with a Rectangle Nestabilitie. I stamped the image again with Rose Red ink and cut out and popped a few of the flowers for dimension. The sentiment was stamped with Whisper White Craft ink on Basic Black Paper, embossed with White Embossing Powder, and cut out with the Large Oval Punch. The background piece was pierced with SU's Mat pack and a Paper Piercer. Now, on to the dimensional flower bling. I have looked everywhere, for several months, for some Heidi Swapp Ghost Images after seeing them several months ago on Jody Morrow's blog. She has done some wonderful projects with those images. I finally found them!!! I added one behind a Silk Flower and a Designer Brad that I got from a local scrapbooking store.

Hope you have a wonderful week. Thanks for dropping in.

SC216 & CC206 - Pretty Skater

Hello everybody. This is for Tuesday's SCS Color Challenge CC206 and Wednesday's SCS Sketch Challenge SC216. I pulled out my "Gliding By" Sophia from Paper Pretties to use for this card. Isn't she precious?

I started out with a 5x5 More Mustard card base. Sophia has been colored with Copics except for her dress. It was paper pieced with a piece from the Raspberry Tart designer paper pack. She was cut out and glued on a mat cut from the Rectangle Nestabilities. The lacy border is from a Martha Stewart Border Punch. The two round pieces were cut with Circle Nestabilities. The Rose Red designer paper is some SU retired paper. I added dots from a White Gel Pen on the Kiwi Kiss scalloped piece. The sentiment was stamped with Black Brilliance ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I added three designer brads and used Circle Fire Brads in the centers. It's finished off with Kiwi Kiss Grosgrain Ribbon.

Thanks for coming by to check me out today. Please come back tomorrow morning at 11:00 Eastern time. I have a surprise. Can't wait to tell you!! Have a great day.

SC213 & CC203 Timeless Love

This card is for yesterday's SCS Color Challenge CC203 and today's SCS Sketch Challenge SC213. I wasn't too sure about these colors that Jessie picked out but as soon as I got them on the card I knew it was a winning combo. Great job Jessie.

I started out with a Garden Green card base. The background mat is white matted with Pacific Point and it has been pierced with SU's Mat Pack and Paper Piercer. The stamp set is a retired set from My Favorite Things called Boho Blossoms. The heart was stamped with Pacific Point and cut out and adhered to the focal panel with dimensionals. The focal panel is cut out with Rectangle Nestabilities. The designer paper is from the Baja Breeze Designer Paper Pack. I stamped a small flower from the stamp set with White Craft Ink on some Garden Green Paper and embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I then punched them out to use with the three Build-a-Brads in the bottom right of the card. The sentiment was stamped with Brilliance Black ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. It is finished off with Pacific Point Grosgrain Ribbon.

Thanks for coming by to check me out. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
