Flamingo Bunch ~ CTD288 & JAI211

This is the last flamingo card that my friend requested.  I used the color combo from Color Throwdown 288 and the sketch from Just Add Ink 211.  

I started out by stamping a bunch of flamingos, masking some off.  I originally wanted to use the sentiment "thanks a bunch", but as I looked through my stash I didn't have anything that said that....I really thought in my head that I did!  I settled on the "thanks much" from Six Sided Sampler.  I'm pleased with the outcome, although I think "thanks a bunch" would have been much cuter!

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

Merry Sparkle Snowflake ~ MM71

 

Today's card is for Merry Monday 71.

I've been wanting to play along with Merry Monday for quite some time now.  As I said in the past few weeks, the kids are now back in school, so I have a bit more time to stamp. 

I'm loving the new Thinlits Expressions dies....they are so fun!  And, I was over the moon when I saw the burlap trim that SU came out with!  I love the look of it!

I had already had the "merry" cut out and laying on my desk...a reject from a previous project.  I decided that's where my starting point would be.  I browsed through my DSP's and found the espresso from last year's Christmas print pack called Festival of Prints and the

 Pool Party from this year's Winter Frost pack. 

 

I also knew I wanted to have some sort of stamped pattern on my main focal circles, so I stamped the big chevron oval from Oh Hello in Early Espresso in and punched out a few circles.  Next I used one of the hexagons from Six Sided Sampler, stamped it with Pool Party ink and punch out with a smaller circle punch.  I adhered them to the burlap with large glue dots. Regular snail adhesive will not stick very well.

 The snowflake is from my Northern Frost decorative strip die.  It's long retired, but I LOVE all the different snowflakes it offers.  I popped the snowflake up on a dimensional.

Triple Six Sided Sampler ~ FMS99, FM123, & CCMC264

 

This card encompasses three challenges: Freshly Made Sketches 99, The Friday Mashup 123, and Create with Connie and Mary 264.   

 

 

For the Friday Mashup we are supposed to create a project using clear block stamping.  I inked up my block with a marker, spritzed it with some water and then stamped it directly on the white cardstock.  The paper ends up a little damp so I dried it with my heat gun.  Create with Connie and Mary called for Smokey Slate, which I don't have yet, so I subbed in Basic Gray (stamped off once to make it look a little lighter).

This was such a fun card to make, plus I got a chance to use my Six Sided Sampler.  It's the first time it's seen ink.  I alternated the colors and added three different kinds of buttons for embellishment.  I like the way this turned out.  A little border of the ruffled ribbon really makes this girly!  I thought about turning it into a baby girl card, but I need a birthday card for my friend.
