BIC #46 Challenge

Hello everyone, are you ready for the weekend?  

Today i'm sharing a card inspired by BIC #46 images.  Those pastel colored cups are so lovely especially with the stripes.  I've created my stripes using the back of a clear stamp (any clear stamp with rectangle shape would work).  Then i stamped the flowers from Awesome Blossom set, and added few sequins.

I'm also submitting this card to CFC126: Color Blocks.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Supplies:
Stamps: The Alley Way Stamps (Awesome Blossom)
Inks: Memento (black), Fresh Inks (Pool, Sicilian Blue), Hero Arts (Passion Flowers)

Runway Inspired Challenge #50 - Mathew Williamson

This is my second post for today.  Please scroll down for BE Inspired Challenge #45 post.

I'm sharing with you a card i made for RIC #50 and CAS-ual Friday #125.

The colors are inspired by RIC #50 and the sentiment is by CEF #125... encouragement to be the best.

On RIC's image, I love how the bold, green color is offset by the lovely soft flowers on her jacket.  To mimic the translucent look of those flowers, i used vellum for mine.  I used my Cameo to cut the flower and the sunburst stencil.  I then sponged the pattern on my card.  The sentiment is by Avery Elle (Handwritten Notes)

Just in case you're wondering, the stencil was made using stencil blank from Hobby Lobby.  And the settings were as following: blade=3, speed=2, thickness=33, double cut.

Here's my card:
