Just a Quick Post

Hey friends!! Just a quick post to upload my card for The Color Throwdown Challenge #746.

It was to use the colors below. 

I used Pink Fresh Studio's Intricate Stitched Ovals, Arch Florals, Around the Shape Arches and Pretty Frames 2 for my card.

I colored my flowers in with Copic Markers. I did make a boo boo on the right hand side of the card and had to add some more sequins that I didn't plan on. I love how it came out. 

That is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by!!

There is a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges!!

Hey Friends!! 

There is a new challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges this week. Challenge #571 is a theme challenge-Father's Day/or Someone Special Masculine.

I chose to do a card that could be used for birthdays, going away, even Father's Day, depending on what sentiment you choose to use on this inside.

The badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #571 is below:

My card was originally made for a kid that I work with that was moving on to greater things. I chose to use the colors I did because they were festive and I LOVED how they went together. 

The pinata is from Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things. The fringe die is also from MFT but I believe is retired. 

I hope this card inspires you to join us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges. Hop on over to the CIC BLOG to see details and other amazing projects from the design team. 

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

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.

A New Challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges-#570 Anything Goes

Hey friends!! I hope this post finds you well.

Today I am popping in with a card that I created for round #570 at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. It is a theme challenge this time-ANYTHING GOES!!!

I decided to use some Paper Rose paper and ephemera along with a sentiment by our sponsor this challenge-Your Next Stamp!!! 

This sentiment stamp set-Whatnot Sentiments-is one of my FAVORITE sentiment sets of all times. Below is the badge for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #570.

I had so much fun making my card for this challenge. I rarely use premade ephemera and I found this in my stash. I doctored the images up a bit. I added some clear sparkle pen, Glossy Accents and some gems.

The white panel and the butterfly I used some foam adhesive to give it some dimension.

I hope my card inspires you to join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge this time around. For more information and to see how you can win a prize, hop on over to the CIC Blog.

There is Still Time to Play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #569

 Hello Crafty Friends!!

Just popping in with a reminder that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #569. This time around the challenge is all about mermaids!!!

Once again I used an image from the Etsy shop JuliaSpiri for my image. Instead of coloring it in, I chose to leave it gray and add some ocean elements around the image. 

Below is the inspiration badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challege #569. Aren't those cupcakes adorable?

The paper behind my image is a scrap that I had in my stash. I thought it was perfect for this card. 

The shells were die cut with dies from Hero Arts and the netting is from a die by Tutti Designs. I chose to leave most of the elements white with the color being behind the focal images. I like how it came out.

I hope my card inspires you to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges this time around. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

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