Needlepoint in Blue ~ CCMC557, JUGS483, TGIFC207

Hey there stampers!  My card today is for for Create with Connie and Mary's new color challenge featuring Pineapple Punch, Blueberry Bushel, and Granny Apple Green.  What happy colors, right?!!

I also used Off The Edge trend challenge at Just Us Girls #483, and the sketch from TGIF Challenges #207. 

My card features the fun stamp set Needle and Thread.  I just love the images in this set and along with the coordinating framelits gives you tons of options.  I think the flowers look great in blue.  I achieved the different hues of blue by stamping the smaller flowers off once.  

This set also looks great with the Gingham Gala DSP.  I'm such a sucker for anything gingham or checked!

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Needle and Thread

Ink: Pineapple Punch, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green

Paper: Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel, White, Gingham Gala DSP

Accessories: Needlepoint Elements framelits, Pretty Label punch, Decorative Lace border punch

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Navy Very Vintage ~ CCMC556, PP436

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for our newest challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week is sketch week.  I also used a little inspiration from The Paper Players 436 Plaid or Checks.  I didn't see until right now as I type this out that the plaid was supposed to be the focus of your project.  Mine's just a little accent, but I like it anyway!  I was set on using my Very Vintage set to make a vintage style card this week.  

It's hard to see in the photo, but I sponged the Sahara Sand background piece with Crumb Cake ink after I embossed it with the Tin Tile TIEF.  I also rubbed a little bit of my Champagne Shimmer paint over it as well for extra shimmer.  After I stamped the main panel, I spritzed it with Champagne Shimmer spritz.  

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Very Vintage

Ink: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy

Paper: Night of Navy, Sahara Sand

Accessories: 1" circle punch, Navy Gingham ribbon, Tin Tile TEIF, pearls, Champagne Shimmer paint

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Seashell Flowers ~ CCMC554, TCC111

Hello there stampers!  Today's card is for the new sketch challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary.  I've also taking in the Card Concept Challenge #111 inspirational photo.  

I tried to make the flowers look a little bit like seashells.  I used the two leaf dies from the Swirly Scribbles Framelits dies.  I cut multiple of each and adhered them to a small circle.  

For the wood background, I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock, ran it through the big shot with the Pinewood TIEF, then sponged it with pool party ink, crumb cake ink, and swiped my Whisper White ink pad directly across the top to add the white bleached board look.  I also picked up a bit of crumb cake ink with my blender pen and ran it in the cracks between the boards.

I layered the flowers onto the card base to mimic the sketch and added a sentiment from Flowering Desert. 

The centers of the flowers are from the Bitty Blooms punch pack.

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Flowering Desert

Ink: Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Paper: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Pool Party

Accessories: Bitty Blooms punch pack, White EP, Pinewood Planks TIEF, Swirly Scribbles Framelits, Basic Rhinestones

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Zach's 21st ~ Fusion Create

Hey stampers!  Today is a pretty special day for my middle son Zachary--He turns 21 today!  I made this special card for him using the inspiration and sketch from Fusion Card Challenge.  I thought the inspiration photo would lend itself nicely to a masculine card.

Now Zach is not a partier, but when you think of a 21st birthday you always think about being able to drink legally.  We are going out for supper tonight and I imagine he'll have a legal drink and be able to pull out his license to show that he is legal!  

I used the sentiment "party time" from {Happy Birthday Gorgeous}.

The sentiment on the inside is from a retired set called {Happy Hour}.  I cut the "21" twice, once with Wood Textures DSP and once with vellum and then I layered them.  I spritzed the whole thing with Shimmer Spritz for a more a subtle celebration feel.

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Happy Birthday Gorgeous, Happy Hour

Ink: Basic Gray

Paper: Black, Smokey Slate, Basic Gray, Vellum, Wood Textures DSP, (Black and White scrap from retired card pack)

Accessories: Large Numbers Framelits, Subtle TIEF, Champagne Shimmer Spritz
