Bird-day Party! - OCC

Today's card is for Our Creative Corner.

  This weeks challenge is just plain PARTY! Anything related to parties.  I chose to go with the birthday theme.  To me, this could be boy or girl or even adult!  This is the first time I've tried anything banner-ish.  I know it's been wildly popular, but I have to admit it just didn't really appeal to me.  But, when I stamped this little bird on a scrap of white, I had all this space on top and thought to myself, why not try it?!?  I punch out three big stars in red, daffodil and marina and cut the tips off to make my little banner flags.  It turned out to be the perfect size and scale for the stamp image.  I am pretty pleased with the way it all turned out, and the banner itself was super simple.  I'd say it looks like this little bird is ready for a party!

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

Stamps: Pun Fun, Itty Bitty Backrounds

Paper: Real Red, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, White

Ink: Stazon Black

Accessories: Star punch, Martha Stewart edge punch, Itty Bitty punch pack, Black EP, Watercolor Pencils, White String, Stripe EF

Sparkle Floral Fusion - JUGS 128 & SSC 247

This pretty card is for Just Us Girls Challenge 128 using soft pink, moss green and cream.  I also used the Saturday Sketch Challenge 247 sketch from Stamping 411.
 
I used the Floral Fusion die and sprayed all three flowers with sparkle mist, then added a half pearl in the center of each.  I also layed each flower out on my soft mat pack mat and used a stylus, rolling it around in circles, to break down the fibers in the paper giving the flowers a little shape.  I also wanted to incorporate some of the newest ribbon I bought, this neat braided pearl ribbon from Wal-Mart.  It looks antique-ish and I thought it would go nice with this color scheme, plus it was perfect for the little band for the bottom of the main panel on the sketch.

Here's a list of supplies I used......

Stamps: Itty Bitty Backrounds, Field Flowers

Paper: Mellow Moss, Pretty In Pink, Vanilla

Ink: Sahara Sand

Accessories: Champagne Shimmer mist, 1/2 pearls, Floral Fusion die, Tulip Border EF, Modern Label punch, Medium Oval punch, braided pearl ribbon (walmart)

Color Throwdown 183

Here's my try for Color Throwdown 183 using Really Rust, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, and Certainly Celery. 

I thought this stamp from the Country Morning set would be the perfect fit for this challenge.  In fact, the inspiration picture kind of reminds me of this stamp a little.  I watercolored the image. When it comes to watercoloring, my go to is my watercolor pencils. I find it much easier to blend the colors with the pencils, rather than using ink from my ink pads.

Here's a list of supplies I used....

Stamps: Country Morning, French Foliage, Itty Bitty Backrounds

Paper: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Really Rust, Fresh Vintage DP

Ink: Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake, Stazon Black,

Accessories: Antique brad, twine, soft suede ribbon, stripes EF, Blender Pen, Watercolor pencils.
