I Thought of You Today

 

Happy Friday Peeps!

Over at Just Add Ink 

they have a beautiful inspiration photo to inspire us.

I loved that background and was inspired by those pretty yellow and pink flowers.

I chose Coastal Cabana  card stock for my background and embossed it with Lace Dynamic EF.

I stamped and colored the flowers from the Lovely Lattice set.

I fussy cut them out to use on my card.

 

My sentiment comes from the Climbing Rose stamp set.

I stamped it using Melon Mambo ink and cut it apart and

 added it to my card with dimensionals.

 

Thank you for stopping by today.

SUO....Happy Birthday

 

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today brings a new challenge over at SUO Challenge Blog.

The challenge is to use a favorite set from the Occasions mini or SAB.

You don't have to look far to know that I LOVE flower cards, so I choose to use the Lovely Lattice stamp set from the SAB catalog along with a few other favorites from the Occasions mini.

I stamped the flowers on some thick whisper white with Black stazon.

I colored hem using my aqua painter and ink pads. I used Highland Heather, Daffodil delight and Pear Pizzazz inks.

I fussy cut out the flowers I wanted to use and hen sit them aside to make the rest of my card.

 

Another fave for me is the Gingham Gala DSP, I just love it!

I just got the Lace Dynamic EF so I had to try it out.  It is so pretty!

The base of my card is Thick Whisper White followed by Highland Heather and then my embossed layer.

The sentiment comes from the All That You Are set and I used a die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits.

I finished up with a few sequins from the Gingham Gala Sequins pack.

Be sure to head over to the SUO Challenges Blog we would love to have you play along.

Thanks for coming by.

Lovely Lattice Happy Birhday

 Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Over at The Flower Challenge they are asking for us to use or newest Stamps or Dies.

The Lovely Lattice stamp set from SAB is one of my favorites right now.
I really love the flowers on this stamp and I really enjoy coloring them.

I stamped the image with black stazon onto thick whisper white
and colored with my water brush and ink pads.

 

I then fussy cut out and set aside to do the rest of the card.

The base is Crumb Cake card stock and then an embossed layer of white, I used the Subtle EF.

The pretty gingham is from the Gingham Gala pack.

I added a die cut scallop strip from the Be Mine Framelits 

followed by a small strip of crumb cake

 

The flower piece is added o the base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the You're Inspiring set.

I heat embossed it with white embossing powder on a small strip of

basic black card stock.

Thank You So Very Much

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!

Over at the Less is More Challenge Blog it is their 8th Birthday and they have a pretty color challenge.

 and at The Global Design Project  they have a themed challenge.

 

I generally am not a "less" kind of card maker..lol but this one came together and I kinda don't hate it!! :)

 

I used the SAB stamp set Lovely Lattice and  water colored my flowers with Mariana Mist and Night of Navy inks.

The leaves are colored with Pear Pizzazz

 I then fussy cut out my flowers, I did snip off some of the small flowers and leaves so I could add them back to my arrangement in different areas.

The base of the card is thick whisper white and I added a bit of gingham gala DSP across the bottom.

The flowers are added to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I stamped it directly on the base with Black Memento Ink.

 

I finished with just a basic pearl in the centers of a few of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Celebrate Your Day

 

Hello Peeps!!

Popping in here quickly to share a card.

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 has a fun sketch, I loved working with it.

I am again using a new flower set, 

I guess if I could make nothing but floral cards I would be alright with it!!

I am using the Lovely Lattice set from Sale-A-Bration.

I stamped and cut away just the parts I wanted to use on this card.

I water colored using Daffodil Delight, a bit of Pumpkin Pie and Pear Pizzazz.

 

 

 

The base of my card is Daffodil Delight card stock, followed with a layer of whisper white.

The DSP is from the Gingham Gala 6x6 paper pack.

I used a square of Vellum card stock that I embossed with the corrugated EF.

The vellum piece is added with a few dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Hello Cupcake set.

I stamped it with Black Memento ink onto my die cut circle.

 

The flowers were then added with more dimensionals.

I finished up wih a few rhinestones. 

Thanks for coming by!

Hello Beautiful

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today's card features the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I pulled my Lovely Lattice stamp set to use.

I stamped the image onto some thick whisper white card stock and fussy cut out just a portion of it to use on my card.

 

I used Calypso Coral and some Daffodil Delight on the flowers.

The leaves are colored with Granny Apple Green and I colored in between some I couldn't cut out with a little Pool Party.

The base of my card is thick whisper white card stock.

I then used another piece of thick whisper white that I embossed with the Basket Weave EF.

I die cut the scallop edge pieces with black card stock. 

This scallop edge is in the Be Mine Stitched Framelits, and I love it!

 

I glued the embossed piece directly to my card base.

The piece of black gingham DSP is from the Botanical Butterfly pack and is a freebie in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I need another pack because I have used most of the black gingham already!

The flowers are added to the card with dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

 I stamped it onto some scrap whisper white with Black Memento ink and fussy cut around it.

It is then added to the card with dimensionals as well.

The gold pearls are some I bought at a local craft store.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Sorry for the late post, I had this scheduled to go live this morning and for some

reason it failed to do so, could be operator error or maybe just blogger being fussy!! 

Over at Addicted to CAS, the code word is Friends

and at Just us Girls Challenge  they are looking for Pastels

This card would had been one layer but I dropped my water brush while coloring and go a blob of color on the top of card. 

So I ended up cutting it down and adding a layer.

 

I am using the Lovely Lattice stamp set from Sale-A-Bration.

It IS lovely for sure!

I colored using my water brush and  Flirty Flamingo ink.

I didn't get the depth I wanted with just the single color this time and ended up going back in with some Lovely Lipstick to darken a bit

The leaves are colored with Pear Pizzazz ink.

I used a bit of Pool Party to color the background a little.

 

The sentiment comes from a set from last year's Sale-A-Bration called Happy Wishes.

I finished with just a few rhinestones in the flower centers.

Thanks for stopping by!
