Swirly Sugarplum Rose ~ CCMC415 & PP303

Happy Thursday!  It's time for Create with Connie and Mary once again!  This week is sketch week. I kept it pretty straight forward this time and didn't take any real creative license this time.  I used the color combo from the Paper Players 303, too.  Isn't it rich yet fresh looking?

I haven't yet used the flower image from {Swirly Bird} so here it is!  I kind of like this repeated pattern of the swirly flower.

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

Stamps: Swirly Bird, Picture Perfect

Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron

Paper: Mint Macaron, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Bermuda Bay sequin trim, Mint Macaron lace trim

Thanks for taking a peek and have a great day!

Wonderful Hummingbird~CCMC409

Happy Thursday everyone!  We're back with another fantastic challenge from Create with Connie and Mary!  It's sketch week.  Take a look at this gem.....

I decided to go ahead and use my hummingbird from {Picture Perfect} since I had used all the other images in the past few challenges.  

I used the sketch flipped upside down, kinda.  The flower and leaves are supposed to mimic the corner banner.  

Don't you just love these colors?!?!!!  They are all new except for Soft Sky.  I used Dapper Denim (which will be one of my favs, I know!), Flirty Flamingo, and Emerald Envy.  They are so rick together!  

I love how tropical this turned out.  That's actually not the direction I was going, but I love it!  

I hope you'll find time to play along with us in this weeks challenge.  Be sure to check out the CCMC site and leave some love for the designers' great projects!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Starfish Dreams ~ CCMC406 & SSINKCS33

Good morning stampers!  It's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday again!  This week is a cool, sort-of monochromatic trio.  I love all the samples the other designers have come up with, too, so check them out here.   I also used the sketch from Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration 33.

Last week I used the rose image from {Picture Perfect} and this week I decided to go with the starfish image.  Maybe next week I'll use the hummingbird...who knows!

I mainly went with the starfish because I thought it worked nicely with the color combination and also went well as a focal point for the sketch.  

I love all the texture on this card in the form of the distressing and embossing.  The starfish image itself gives lots of texture illusion, so I played off of that!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Picture Perfect Shabby Chic ~ CCMC405

Hey stampers!  It's Thursday....and what does that mean?  Create with Connie and Mary, of course! This week is sketch week.  What do you think of it?  I happen to LOVE this sketch!  I had so much fun creating this card....in fact, this might be my favorite card to date.  At least in my top 5 faves anyway!

I made it with two stamps sets that I finally got around to ordering.  (I do have to admit that getting the sneak peek of the new catalog helped me out a bit!)  {Timeless Textures}, which I used to create the weathered wood look background and {Picture Perfect}.  The wood background was inspired by Dena Rekow, who made this fun video showcasing the weathered wood technique. Dena is so fun and talented and I love watching her videos!

I simply adore the shabby chic look of this card!  It will be perfect for mother's day!

So, aren't these colors just fabulous together!  I can see why they call this set {Picture Perfect}.  That rose looks so realistic!  

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

Stamps: Timeless Textures, Picture Perfect

Ink: Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Versamark, Smokey Slate, Sahara Sand

Paper: Pool Party, White, Blushing Bride, gold glimmer

Accessories: Chalk Talk framelits, paper doily, burlap ribbon, white embossing powder, honeycomb embossing folder

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
