Runway Inspired Challenge #43

Hello Peeps!! Haven't been around much. I started back to work and my creative time has dwindled. It is between exercising and creating right now. Unfortunately exercising has been winning out, though I would much rather be in my craft room!!

Today I am joining in on the Runway Inspired Challenge. The challenge was to use the image below as inspiration to create a card.

(Original Image from Style.com)

Here is the card that I created.

I started off with a white card stock base and stamped a grid pattern with a Prima stamp on the left in gray. (No, I did not stamp straight but I tried to cover it up with the yellow die cut. ShShhh!) Then I cut a 3 1/2" by 5 1/4" piece of black card stock and adhered it to the white base.

I used my Silhouette to die cut a piece of Stampin Up! "Summer Sun" card stock. Next I stamped a circle using an Avery Elle stamp and punched it out with a 1 3/4" circle. I then stamped the sentiment in gray on the circle and the "Sunshine" in orange zest on white card stock and cut it out.

The last thing I did was to layer everything on the card using foam adhesive. I like how it came out BUT I should have fussy cut the "Sunshine" sentiment. I just wanted to finish the card in time!!

Here is a closer look.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and look at my card.

WPlus9 "Fresh Cut Florals" Part 3

Happy Tuesday!! I am once again sharing the cards I created using WPlus9's "Fresh Cut Florals" die and stamp set.

My first card is very simple. I actually CASEd from someone else's card that I saw. The person did not use this stamp set but a similar flower. I apologize for not having a link. 

I first cut  a strip of Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper (Geometric Green) and placed it diagonally over a lemon tart A2 card base. I then cut a tiny strip of lemon tart paper and stamped the sentiment from Paper Trey Ink's "Heart-2-Heart #4" mini stamp set in brown ink. Next I stamped "hello" from the same set in orange zest ink. I adhered the yellow strip to the green paper using foam adhesive, slightly above the hello. 

For the next step, I adhered a set of leaves and a flower over the yellow strip and a set of leaves and one flower under the yellow strip. To finish the card off I used diamond Stickles in the middle of the flowers and added three orange gems. 

I really love the colors of this card and only wish I had more of this patterned paper.

Here is a side view of the card.

My second card I created from scratch. I used a lemon tart A2 size card stock base. I then adhered a piece of 4" by 5 1/4" piece of lemon tart patterned paper over the base. Next I die cut a banner from the  "Geometric Green" patterned paper and adhered it to the front of the card.

I stamped a block using the Paper Trey Ink's "Do Me a Favor" stamp set in lemon tart ink and the sentiment from "Tag It's #3" in orange zest ink. I adhered the block onto the card using adhesive foam.

I then adhered a flower using foam adhesive to the top left of the stamped block and an arrangement of flowers to the bottom right of the block. The last step was to adhere five yellow sequins randomly over the card and to put a little bit of diamond Stickles into the middle of the flowers.

That is all for today. I hope you enjoyed my cards. Thank you for stopping by!!
