Sheltering Summery Tree ~ CCMC411

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's another great sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary!  If you hop over to the challenge blog you'll see all the different ideas the designers came up with....it's so cool to see everyone's interpretation!

I decided to stamp a scene on a 3"x 3" panel and then chop it up into the four squares to mimic the sketch.  I love this summery scene with the tree, sunshine and flowers.  

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

Stamps: Sheltering Tree, Kinda Eclectic

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sky

Paper: White, Soft Suede

Accessories: corner rounder punch, Wink of Stella clear

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Sheltering Tree in Pink ~ CAS(E)109 & NAC128

I just love this stamp!  It's so beautiful, fun and versatile!  I made this card for CAS(E) this Sketch 109 & Nacho Average Challenge 128.

I've stated before that I'm not a real Clean and Simple kinda gal....and I suppose if you look at this card it's not really that clean and simple with all the extras. :) But, I liked the simplicity of the sketch and the fact that you could do just about anything you want with it.  I had had this tree scene in mind when I first looked at the sketch......and then I saw the color combo at NAC this morning.....I raced down to my craft space and cranked this one out in no time!  I love it when that happens.  It wasn't forced at all!  

I stamped the tree in Smokey Slate, the leaves in Pink Pirouette and added a few little leaves in Blushing Bride.  The little silver butterfly was added to cover up a smudge and that's how the bigger butterflies were added to the sky also!  I love to peruse Pinterest for inspiration and ideas (I mean, who doesn't!) and I came across a drawing of a tree that had sparkles all over in the branches.  I knew I wanted to incorporate that idea with this stamp set.  

For the side panel I used a strip of the new resist DSP from Sale-a-bration.  I sponged Blushing Bride on the bottom and graduated the color into Pink Pirouette.  I love how that turned out....very subtle.  I also added a little strip of brushed silver cardstock and some silver trim that I got at a craft store.

I'm totally in love with this card and how quick it came together!  

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

Stamps: Sheltering Tree

Paper: White, Brushed Silver, Irresistibly Yours DSP

Ink: Smokey Slate, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette

Warm Heart ~ CMCC54

Hey fellow stampers!  It's time for another Colour Me Card Challenge.....#54.  This week we have the striking duo of Pacific Point and Real Red.  Neutrals are also welcome.  I added in a little black with my duo. 

All the papers I used (with the exception of the Pacific Point gingham pattern) are from the {Stacked With Love} DSP pack.  I created the gingham by using the retired {Gingham Wheel}.  I colored the

The Perfect Blend cup

with my blender pen and Pacific Point pad and then pieced the small heart pattern over the top.  The perfect sentiment comes from the new set {Sheltering Tree}.  

As usual, please hop over to my fellow designers blogs and leave them some love on their creations!
