There is Still Time to Play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges #570-Anything Goes

Hello friends!!  

I am just popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenges #570. It is a theme challenge-ANYTHING GOES. 

My card below uses a sentiment by this weeks sponsor-Your Next Stamp. 

The Whatnot Sentiment Stamp Set from Your Next Stamp is one of my FAVORITES.

I have used this particular sympathy stamp on at least ten other cards. It is my go to sympathy sentiment. 

Below is the the image badge for this round of Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #570.

I paired the stamped sentiment with a flower from Pinkfresh Studio and a background from Memory Box.

I added some sequins around the sentiment for some emphasis. 

Want to join us this week? Hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenges for more details. 

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a great week!!

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #526 Reminder

Hello everyone!! 

Today I am popping in with another card I created for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #526-Take Flight. Unlike my card from last week, I did not use a plane. I decided to use a butterfly. They fly, right?

Below is the inspiration for my card. I chose to use the theme, rather than the photo to create this.

To start my card off, I used an embossing folder to emboss a doily onto a piece of *Neenah White Cardstock and die cut it with a Mama Elephant rectangle die. I then adhered it over a purple, A2, top folding card front.

I added a gray circle over the top of the doily and stamped a sentiment from Your Next Stamp. Next, I used foam adhesive to adhere the *Small Butterflies from Pinkfresh Studio. I had stamped these little beauties with *Vintage Photo Distress Ink, colored them in with Copic Markers and then stamped again with *Versamark to heat emboss with Ranger *Liquid Platinum embossing powder. I then die cut them out with the matching *Small Butterflies Dies. 

I added some *Glossy Accents in some of the veins of each butterfly and then added some purple sequins.

I LOVE how this came out!! It is simple and I am going to be sending this out to a special someone who is having a bit of trouble right now.

Please hop on over to the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge Blog to see what the other Design Team members created. I hope that you will play with us this week!!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!

Freshly Made Sketches #400

Happy Monday!! I hope you are all having a great morning.

I am popping in today to post a card for some challenges. I created a sympathy card for a wake I need to attend on Tuesday.

I used the Hello Bluebird Stitched Tag Builder Die set and MFT's Stitched Flower dies to create my card. I was inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #400 for my card and Clean and Simple Colours and Sketches Challenge as the inspiration for my card.

 

I had die cut all the flowers out of white and used ink to color the flowers in.

I scored the background to get the embossing for the background.

The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp's "WhatNot Sentiment" Set.

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a great day!!
