Simply Poppy Pool

Today's card is for three challenges.  Create with Connie and Mary color challenge 202, Saturday Sketch challenge 256, and The Paper Players Challenge 96-polka dot challenge!

I wasn't sure about the colors together, but I'm very pleased with the final results.  The black and white polka dots are what pulled it all together for me.  I'm a sucker for polka dots....I just love them all!

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

Stamps: Simply Soft, Because I Care

Paper: Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Black,white, Night & Day DP (retired)

Ink: Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Stazon Black, Soft Suede

Accessories: Floral Fusion sizzlets, In Color brad, Eyelet border punch, square punch (for flag ends on tag) blender pen, sponge

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)

Mojo 331 Just Believe Butterfly

This card is for Mojo Monday Sketch 231.  I used my large paper doily for the half circle part of the sketch and I must say I'm a little dissapointed with the way this die cuts.....it takes alot of work to get all the little cut-outs poked out.  It just doesn't work they way it should, I feel.  Does anyone else think this? 

I colored the butterfly with chalks after I stamped the black image on it.  I also embossed the butterfly with Glassy Glaze to make it extra special.  Here is a list of the other supplies I used with this card..........
Stamps: Just Believe
Ink: Black
Paper: Black, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, White
Accessories: Chalks, glassy glaze EP, bigz beautiful butterflies, floral fusion die, large paper doily, black 1/2 pearls, 1/8" organdy ribbon, big designer button, in-color brad, circle punch, square lattice EF, stripped grosgrain ribbon
