Gingham Daisy ~ CCMC544, CASCS304, ATSM324

Hello there stampers!  My card today is for Create with Connie and Mary's Sketch Challenge #544.  I also used the color combo from CAS Colours and Sketches #304.  I'm entering into Addicted to Stamps and More Clean and Simple challenge too!

I couldn't resist pairing the Balmy Blue gingham DSP with the Daisy punch....it's like a match made in heaven!  I thing the pop of red gives the card a little more punch and the Crumb Cake adds a country feel.  

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

Stamps: Needle and Thread, Handwritten

Ink: Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake

Paper: Gingham Gala DSP, Crumb Cake, Real Red, White, Balmy Blue

Accessories: Daisy punch, Stitched framelits, In the Woods Framelits, Bouquet Bunch Thinlits, Linen thread

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Special Reason Shabby Chic ~ CCMC439, CASCS204, SSC143, SIP80, SUO165

Oh my gosh....Create with Connie and Mary time has rolled around again and I've got NEW STUFF to show off!  This is such an exciting time of year.  We're all coming down off the holidays and what's there to look forward to now?  The NEW occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration!  Both catalogs are chock full of fun, beautiful new stamps and supplies!

To go along with our fabulous sketch this week, I chose to get color inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches #204 and Sunday Stamps #143.  I'm also entering in SIP#80 for the card makers choice, and SUO #165 which challenges us to use new stuff. 

So, can you spot the new stuff?  Well the flowers are from a beautiful new set called {Special Reason} and have Stylish Stems coordinating dies.  One of my very favorite new products is the Hexagons texture folder.  It gives a super deep impression like my beloved Cable Knit folder.  I just love the look of these awesome impression folders. 

Another new accessory showcased on this card is the Falling in Love DSP and Falling in Love embellishment (the center of the big flower).  I'm super excited about these new products and can't wait to use them more.  I love the Special Reason flowers because they look a little worn.  It looks like I didn't get enough ink on them, but that is the look of that stamp.  I thought it lent itself nicely to a shabby chic look, which is another thing I'm quite fond of.  

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

Stamps: Special Reason, Thoughtful Banners, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Hardwood

Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake

Paper: Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugarplum, Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Falling In Love DSP

Accessories: Falling in Love embellishment, Hexagon Texture Folder, Stylish Stems framelits, metal rim pearls, lace trim, very vanilla satin ribbon

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
