The Card Concept #4

Hi Everyone,

Today, I have a card for this week's Card Concept Challenge - it's all about flowers.

My card:

The card base is Very Vanilla card stock.  The pretty patterned paper is from Bo-Bunny.  A cluster of knitted flowers takes the spotlight on the card.  Luckily, I had some pink yarn left over from another project.  I stamped the stem and leaves from Inspired by Stamping Daisies in Early Espresso ink, and well as the sentiment (SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes).  I wrapped a bit of pink satin ribbon on the bottom of the card, and embellished it with a trio of pearls.  For the final touch, I adhered big pearls on each of the flowers.  I am going to say this is a clean and layered card.

I am also adding this card to the following challenges:

Inspired by Stamping - Monthly Challenge - Flowers
Inspired by Stamping - February Customer Gallery Contest
Seize the Birthday - "Anything Goes" Birthday
The Pink Elephant - Use the color Pink
House of Cards - Photo Inspiration

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I wanted to quickly post this card I created last night.  It combines the colors from Color Throwdown Combo with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches Challenge:

My card:

I began with Whisper White card base, and the layers are Gumball Green and SU! Print Poetry DSP.  I took a piece of silver card stock, embossed it with the Lacy Brocade folder and adhered it to the left side of the panel.  The image is from PTI In the Meadow Silhouettes Die Collection, and was die-cut in silver.  I matted the image with more Gumball Green, and arranged it on Crumb Cake card stock.  I then stamped three tiny snowflakes, to give it a winter feeling.  I used some silver cording and wrapped it around my card two times and added a pretty silver snowflake on the corner.  The sentiment is from SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes and was stamped with versamark ink and then embossed with Gumball Green embossing powder.

The Kraft Journal Challege #143

Hello Everyone,

Today's card was created for this week's The Kraft Journal Challenge #143.  I love Fall colors!

My card:

I began with a Kraft card base, Very Vanilla card stock and patterned paper from six by six All Spice paper pack from My Mind's Eye.  I decided to try the ever popular Starburst Technique, and loved the result!  I used the owl punch from SU! and spiffed him up using the same paper pack.  The owl is dressed as a turkey and the background assimilates the feathers.  The branch is a Memory Box die, cut out of brown card stock.  Lastly, the sentiment is from SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes, and was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink.

I'm also linking at Word Art Wednesday and HYCCT1315A "Bursting with Hope" Challenge .

FMS101 & Seize the Birthday

Happy Thursday,

I'm popping in very quickly to share a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches.  We have a fabulous sketch by Linda. 



I'm also joining in the fun over at Seize the Birthday.  It's anything goes Birthday!  YAY!

 

My card:



For my card, I began with Whisper White card base, followed by Raspberry Ripple cardstock.  The pretty paper and the two blue banner strips are from SU! Print Poetry.  I totally forgot I had this paper stack until I began to clean my craft table.  I will definitely be using it for the next month or so!  I used this beautiful flower from SU! Fabulous Florets Stamp Set as the focal point of my card, and popped it up with dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and was stamped with Midnight Muse ink.

Dynamic Duos #61

Hi Everyone,

I haven't had the opportunity to play along over at Dynamic Duos in a long time!  But I'm happy to say that I created a card for this week's card challenge!

My card:

When I saw the color combo, the only thing that came to mind was a very feminine card, with pearls and lace.  I happened to have the dress form with kraft color lace wrapped around as a skirt from a card that I ended up not using (glad I kept it, right?). The base is Pink Pirouette, followed with Whisper White.  I do not have Sahara Sand cardstock, so I used something similar from my stash.  The gorgeous patterned paper is from SU! Fan Fair.  I adhered some delicate lace between that cardstock and Sahara Sand look-alike, to give it a vintage feel.  On the right hand side of the dress form , I added a strip of pink color using the MFT Pinking Edge Border.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The card would not be complete without some pearls!

I also entered my card over at Word Art Wednesday.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

My card:

The base is Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and the patterned paper is from SU! Bella Rose (retired). 

The beautiful flower is stamped with Pool Party ink.  To add some texture, I used the Delicate Designs Folder on the bottom of my card.  The sentiment is from SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes.  Lastly, I added a stitched red ribbon inserted into a ribbon slide and a few pearls to jazz it up a bit!

Freshly Made Sketches #62 & CR84FN67

Hello my friends,

I made a quick card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #62.  This fabulous sketch is by Jen B.

I used the beautiful colors from this week's CR84FN Color Challenge;





My card:



The base of the card is Whisper White, followed by Crumb Cake cardstock.  The plum paper is from Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet Collection and the 2 pretty gold papers are from Webster's Pages Clean & Simple.  I added velvet-purple ribbon in the middle of the card (even though it looks black) - it also has gold on the edges.  The Christmas ornament is from SU Delightful Decorations.  I used SU Perfect Plum ink to stamp the ornament and added 3 tiny gold rhinestones.  The card looked very simple at the top so I decided to add some big gold rhinestones.  The sentiment is from SU Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set.
