Just Us Girls #606-Color Challenge

Hi everyone!! 

It is week three of my Guest Design Gig over at Just Us Girls Challenge Blog. This week it is a color challenge.

The colors I needed to use was turquoise, yellow and green. I added a neutral black behind the flowers. I just adore how this card came out!!

When I saw the badge for this week, I knew I would be able to use my Vintage Lemon Twist paper and ephemera from Simple Stories. This challenge was PERFECT for my collection.

I started out by picking my paper. The black gingham was perfect for grounding the bright embellishments on this card.

I just layered and layered my ephemera and then used a clear glitter marker over some of the flowers and butterfly to make is sparkle. 

I added some Glossy Accents in strategic places, some pearls and my card was complete. 

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Be sure to hop on over to the Just Us Girls Blog to see what the other designers created for this fun challenge!!

Have a FABULOUS day!!

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #529 Anything Goes

Hello everyone!! 

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I am popping in with a card I created for the second week of the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #529-Anything Goes. 

This challenge is sponsored by Di's Digis. They are giving the lucky winner a prize of two digital stamps of the winner's choice!

Since I didn't have any of Di's stamps, I chose to use some products that I already had to create my card.

I designed an 80th Birthday card this week that was requested by a friend. 

I started off by using the Altenew *Garden Trellis to die cut a panel out of *Neenah White Cardstock.  I then added yellow and purple flowers that I stamped using some flower stamps from Hero Arts.

I added a sentiment that I had printed out on my computer and some die cut numbers using The Greetery's Bold Numbers Dies. 

I used Tonic Electric Purple Mirrored Cardstock for the numbers to match the flowers and my card was complete!

So hop on over to The Cupcake Inspiration Challenge Blog today to play along with our Anything Goes Challenge. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

That is all from me today. I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!

Hey everyone!! 

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I am once again Guest Designing on the Just Us Girls Challenge for my second post of the month. This week, the JUGS Challenge is to use an embossing folder or heat embossing on a card. I chose to use BOTH!!!

I used the Altenew *Perfect Poinsettia embossing folder to emboss a piece of red cardstock. I then used Ranger Distress Ink in *Festive Berries and *Fired Brick to shade the poinsettias in using a blending brush.

I adhered my panel to a white A2, top folding card base and added some gold gems for the center of the poinsettias.

I stamped the sentiment from The Stamp Market with *Versmark Clear Ink and heat embossed it with Ranger *Superfine Gold embossing powder. 

I adhered the sentiment to the front of my card and it was done. 

This photo does not do it justice and I apologize. It was incredibly hard to photograph!!

So hop on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge #605 this week and play with us. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

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

A Card for the Inspired By Challenge IB189

Some Affiliate Links are used in this post. Please see Affiliate Policy 

Happy Tuesday!!

It is still raining here in the Northeast. I guess it is typical during the fall but I want it to be nice so I can go apple picking!! I like to pick during the week to avoid all the crowds. I have a ton of farms that are minutes from my house that I pick it, depending on what type of apple I am looking for. My favorite are Macoun-what type is your favorite?

Speaking of apples, I am popping in with a card that I created for this weeks Inspired By Card Challenge. I got a package from Spellbinders last week with the *Welcome Fall cutting dies and I had to use them!!!

Below is the Inspired By Challenge IB189-All the Peels. My card was inspired by the basket on the badge and a bit by the sketch.

If I had actually looked at the badge closely, I should have die cut my basket out of grayer paper. I also could have added some of the filling that is below the apples as I have that in spades for gifts!! However, I was in a rush to get a bunch of cards done so my card is as it is.

I blended *Peacock Feathers Distress Ink for my background and used Tim Holtz Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain before I added my die cuts. These colors were inspired by the card example on the package!! I always have more than one little something that inspires a card!

I LOVE this die set and have some ideas to use it with some Christmas branches next time!!!

The sentiment is from The Greetery.

Well, that is all from me today. I just wanted to get this out there. I haven't had a bunch of time lately and am flying by the seat of my pants!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!
