Dynamic Duos #57

Happy Saturday!

I have a card to share with you for this week's Dynamic Duos #57.  We were asked to use Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black with an optional plant theme.  The one thing that came to my mind was a masculine get well card!

My card:

The base of the card is Whisper White, then Basic Black cardstock. I frame cut 3 circles and placed on top of a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The opening was sponged with Pear Pizzazz ink, then stamped with SU! French Foliage Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The sentiment is from SU! Thoughts and Prayers.  I really like the way it turned out.

The Kraft Journal: Clean and Simple Challenge

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I have a card to share with you for this week's The Kraft Journal Challenge.  We were asked to create a clean and simple project.  With little time on my hands, this was right up my alley!

The base card is Whisper White, next is a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I used the Top Note Bigz to create a unique background - top half was left white and the botton half I adhered a piece of mint polka dots paper from Echo Park.  The flowers are from SU! Stippled Blossoms, stamped with Rose Red and Regal Rose ink.  I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the mat of each flower.  The sentiment is from an old stamp set called Button Greetings. 

I'm also entering my card over at Word Art Wednesday Challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Merry Monday #64

Happy Saturday!

I'm quickly popping in to share a card I created for this week's Merry Monday #64.  I love this week's sketch:

My card:

I wanted to do something different - out of my comfort zone - I wanted to create a snowy Christmas picture using the masking and sponging technique.  This is my very first attemept, and I'm really happy how my card turned out.  The base of the card is Whisper White, then I used the patterned paper from SU! Pocketful of Posies.  The beautiful tree is from SU! Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set.  I used torn paper to mask the bottom of the card.  I then sponged the top portion and bottom using Baja Breeze ink.  I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The trees that are on the edges, I stamped it two more times, without re-inking to make them appear more distant.  The seniment is from SU! For the Holidays.
