Dynamic Duos.....Birthday

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

today I am sharing a card made using a color challenge at Dynamic Duos.

This week is their one year anniversary and to celebrate they are asking us to choose a favorite past color combo. Well, as most of you know I love Concord Crush and I know it is retired but I love it so and I stocked up a bit before it retired, and team it up with Wisteria and it just sings!!!!

I decide to use a pretty Stampin Up set that is about to retire, "Just Believe" will be gone soon, lounging on a beach somewhere and soaking up the sun, but not my set, it is a keeper.

I stamped the image with Concord Crush a couple of times onto some Whisper White card stock and then made a mask for the moon with a post it note and my 1-1/2 inch circle sponge. I then sponged over the whole thing with Concord Crush going very dark to very light top to bottom.

The base of my card is a 5 inch x 10 inch  piece  of Concord Crush folded in half, then a layer of Wisteria Wonder and then I used my diagonal score board to create the lines on the white piece.

The main image is matted with wisteria and concord card stock.  The sentiment comes from the Happiest Birthday wishes stamp set. I added some Wisteria ribbon and silver brads to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Color Challenge......Thank you

Good Morning Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. 

The colors to use are Night of Navy, Bashful Blue and Whisper White.

I used the Stampin Up set "Just Believe" I stamped it with night of navy onto the bashful blue card stock.

I matted that with whisper white and night of navy card stock.

The base of my card is night of navy and then the next layer is whisper white that I embossed with the vintage wall EF.

The DSP is from a retired pack called Petal Prints. 

I added some night of navy satin ribbon and tied a bow across the top.

I added a sentiment flag using the thank you stamp from the same set. 

Finally I finished it off with three silver brads.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by and

HAPPY STAMPING!

Happy Thursday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using this sketch on splitcoaststampers. This was a fun sketch to work with and I decided to go monochromatic. I used always artichoke and very vanilla card stock with just a pop of melon mambo.

The stamp set I used is the Stampin' Up set Just Believe, this set has not gotten much use since I got it so I decided to give it some love for this sketch. I used the small leaf stamp for my main image piece. I added some itty bitty flowers to the leaves with some melon mambo card stock. I used one of the punches from the itty bitty punch pack for the flowers. I made them curl up a bit by using my stylus and rolling it around in the middle of the punched piece. I added some tiny basic pearls to the centers of the flowers.

The tulip frame embossing folder was used to frame the sketch. The designer paper is from the Springtime Vintage paper pack. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was stamped with always artichoke ink onto very vanilla card stock. I used the large oval and scallop oval punch for the sentiment. I added some always artichoke seam binding ribbon and three basic pearls for the finishing touches.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!

Color Challenge....Because I Care

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

This color combo is so pretty, pear pizzazz, regal rose and so saffron. They are so springy!!! So I decided to make some daffodils, I saw this on some one's blog recently and now I can't find it, if you know let me know so I can give them credit and a link. The flowers are made from the Stampin' Up Growing Green stamp set. I stamped the flower onto some very vanilla card stock and colored in with so saffron and daffodil delight ink. The centers are 1/2 inch circles of so saffron and the are crumpled and pleated and then added to the center with a bit of mono glue.

The leaves behind the daffodils come from the Just Believe stamp set and the sentiment is from the Because I Care Hostess set. I used pear Pizzazz for my base and followed that with some very vanilla and the DS paper is from the Hostess prints pack. I added some regal rose card stock that was embossed with the square lattice and the perfect dots EF. I matted both with very vanilla card stock.

I added some regal rose ribbon and crochet trim ribbon across the middle and some basic pearls for accents in the corners and centers of the flowers.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Curtain Call....Just Believe

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!

Today's card share is made with this week's color challenge on Stacey's Stamping Stage.

The colors this week are whisper white, crumb cake, always artichoke and early espresso. I started my card with a base of whisper white and I followed that with some always artichoke card stock. I distressed the edges of the artichoke with my distressing tool. The front panel is crumb cake that was heavily sponged and distressed. I stamped the flower image from the Just Believe stamp set with early espresso ink. I added the sentiment from the same set with always artichoke ink. I added three brads under the sentiment and added a double bow with some 1/4 inch artichoke grosgrain ribbon. I used my white gel pen to add centers to two of the flowers.

Well, that is all from me today, I am super excited as I am expecting a SU delivery today, two boxes of goodies!!! I can't wait!!! Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
