Birthday WishesThanks

 Hello and welcome. This card is for the new sketch challenge at Try Stampin on Tuesday blog. It's a fun challenge with a BUTTERFLY option. See the sketch below...

And here is how I used the sketch...

I used a little creative liberty with the sketch and used the Butterfly Basics stamp set. I cleaned out a lot of stamp sets and craft supplies this past January and kept just classic sets I loved and this was one of them.

I took the floral image and colored it in with markers and gave it a spray with water to give it a watercolor look when I stamped it. I separated the horizontal rectangle and circle and used a butterfly for the circle and the rectangle as my sentiment base. I kept with the three dots so I think the design is pretty close to the sketch...Here is a closer look...

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. I hope you will join us for challenge 609 and please stop by the other DT members blogs and see what they did with the sketch. Bye for now...

HELLO YOU!

 Happy Sunday and welcome to my blog! I am posting a card for the new sketch challenge over on the SUNDAY STAMPS blog. This time around, Heather is our sketch hostess! Check out the sketch below...

And here is my card...

I used three same size panels on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 CS base instead of a square base. I used a fun bright dotted DSP for the base and then adhered the bright coordinating panels that I dry embossed in a floral pattern. I also used a coordinating Butterfly DSP and fussy cut three BF's out and placed randomly on the front. I cut and folded a strip of Aqua CS to look like ribbon behind the round die cut Hello You sentiment. 

A few iridescent pearl dots placed on the panels and this baby is done!!

Thanks for stopping by! Please stop by and check out the other DT blogs and see the creative way they used the sketch...bye for now!

Try Stampin on Tuesday Challenge 607

 Hi! This latest card is for the new sketch challenge over on the Try Stampin on Tuesday blog. It's a three object, any shape sketch challenge with an option for Flower Power...I did both!

And here is my card..

I love a Pink & Green together.  So after I choose the images to use for the sketch, I decided on that color combo. I used the Pierced Blooms die set for the flowers which worked well for the sketch. I wanted to keep it simple and not busy so I used solid CS and placed everything in a simple green DSP to tie everything together. Added a few butterfly embellishments, a Your so Kind sentiment and the card is complete.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to checkout the other DT inspiration cards on their blogs...hope to see you in the gallery.

Best Wishes

 Hello! This card is for a new challenge over on the SUNDAY STAMPS blog! This time around, it's all about color...

And here's how I used the colors...

I ended up using all the challenge colors. I stamped the images in a gray, used white as my base, blue for the bird, yellow for the flowers and berry for the sentiment flag. Here's a closer look...

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek...be sure to check out the other ladies pretties and maybe we'll see you in the gallery...happy stamping...

Sunday Stamps Entry!!

 Hello! I couldn't decide which card to use for the SUNDAY STAMPS DT inspiration card so I am entering this one in the gallery for fun! See the sketch below...

And here is my "extra" card ;0

Using the Poppy flower dies form SU'S Peaceful Moments, I chose colors to coordinate with that fun harlequin patterned DSP. The sentiment is from a Spellbinders monthly kit and gold metallic discs finish this card off. 

 Thanks for stopping in and checking out number 2. Remember, the challenge runs until Friday, May 12th, 6pm EST. Have fun creating!

HB for TSOT 605

 

This post is for the new sketch challenge over on the Try Stampin on Tuesday blog. Check out the fun image below...

with optional Mother's Day theme

And see what I did with the sketch below...

I used the Peaceful Moments poppy flower die cuts for my 3 images. I stayed pretty close to the layout of the sketch even with the images being different sizes. The birthday sentiment is from Four You and I added a few pearlized dots for shine.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the other DT members cam up with this challenge.

Thinking of You!

Thinking of You Sweet Friend for the new sketch challenge at SUNDAY STAMPS. I am the sketch challenge hostess this round and I am looking forward to seeing how everyone creatively interprets it! Check the sketch out below...

And here is my card...

 This set from SU! called Honey Bee is still one of my all time favorite stamp sets and the bee hive is the image I pictured when I was deciding how to take the sketch and make it into a card. 

Hand stamped DSP, a few busy bees placed here an there, some shiny gold discs all place on a yellow honeycomb base and this card is done! 

Thanks for stopping by here and remember to stop by the other DT blogs to see their cards. Bye for now...
