ODBDSLC16 - Sketch Challenge

A card today for ODBD's current challenge to use the sketch they provided.  Several weeks ago I was fortunate enough to have Random.org pluck my name from the entrants for ODBDSLC14 and I won a ODBD gift certificate!  I'm using one of the sets that I purchased using that gift certificate:  Grow in Grace.   I have had my eye on that set (and alot more) for a loooong time and was so excited to finally get it!  I used more papers from the DCWV mat stack The Linen Closet and some completely YUMMY satin ribbon from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I stamped the sentiment on some PTI white shimmer cardstock that I die cut with a Spellbinders large scallop circle die in SU!'s Baja Breeze ink.  I then stamped the dogwood image next to it using Memento's London Fog.  The image was stamped again on PTI's white cardstock, colored with my Prisma pencils and gamsol, trimmed out and then adhered over the first image using SU! dimensionals. 

I did a bit of distressing on all the patterned paper pieces using CTMH's Parchment ink, which is a great choice to use for light distressing.   Finished the card off with the beautiful ivory satin ribbon from Stamp Simply and some light blue rhinestones.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Color, Color!

Two cards tonight for two color challenges and one CAS challenge.  First up is the card for Color Throwdown 95 and for the current CAS-tastic challenge (CWC006) to put the focus on your sentiment.

I die cut the white and turquoise cardstock using Spellbinder Labels 10 dies.  Stamped one of the images from the WaltzingMouse Stamps set Very Vintage Labels 10 in Memento Rosebud and then stamped the sentiment from CHF's Vintage Butterflies set in Memento Black.  Layer everything with some yummy green satin ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon store.

The second card is for ColourQ 35.  Another bright, fun combo from Arielle.  Arielle also challenge us to use a sketch provided by Mercy, MTSC76.   I used a brand new stamp set from The {Stamps} of Life by Stephanie Bernard, called Kites2Fly. 

Mercy's sketch was fun to work with for this color challenge, providing a great jumping off point. Thanks for taking a peek!  Have a great weekend!

ODBDSLC15 - Stars & Stripes!

The current Our Daily Bread Shining the Light (15) challenge is to use stars and/or stripes on your card.  I decided to use both.  One of my current favorite paper packs is DCWV's Linen Closet mat stack.  It is full of beautiful papers in all kinds of patterns, including stripes!  I had some acrylic stars that I could never figure out what to do with and so I painted one with Ranger's Cloudy Blue paint dabber and let it dry.  I recently got some crocheted ribbon from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and used that on the card.  If you have never visited Sharon's store you need to and right away.  She has some of the yummiest ribbons out there.

The border punch is from EKSuccess and one of my favorite.  I added a couple of PTI vintage buttons.  The sentiment is from the ODBD set Friendship. After the star had dried I added it to the center of the bow with  Liquid Glass.

 

Thanks for taking a peek!
