Thank you cherry much!

I'm bringing out an MFT set I haven't gotten inky in a while, but I love! It's called Feelin' Fruity? This card is for SCS inspiration challenge #223 and I'm using this fabric for my inspiration. It's also for SCS CAS challenge #57--to use two shapes. I'm using a circle and an oval.

This card is very simple so I won't bore you with too many details, but I stamped the cherries on a Perfect Paper Panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Color Throwdown #78

Lots going on today! First I have this week's Color Throwdown for you. My girl Broni picked this week's colors and I love them--so soft and sweet!
And, we also have a sponsor this week: Starving Artistamps. You can get the skinny on them and the very generous prize they're offering for some lucky participant this week at the Throwdown blog.

For my card, I chose to use Kraft as my base and to try to go CAS. And, I guess it's a one layer card, if you ignore the paper piecing ;-) I'm actually using the sketch for SCS CAS challenge this week for my layout. Sorta.

I stamped the row of houses image first on the Kraft card base and then again on a Perfect Paper Panel. Then I colored it with Copic markers, cut each piece out separately, and glued them to the Kraft base with my Quickie Glue Pen. Then I stamped the sentiment, tied on the Ripe Avocado grosgrain ribbon with some Vintage Buttons (in Aqua Mist and Sweet Blush) and Rustic Twine and it was done!

Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use Mr. Linky to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown.

Hugs and kisses

I decided to do the SCS CAS challenge for this week--#51. The challenge is to use designer paper on your CAS card. OK, I can do that :)

I was totally inspired by this ribbon. Sorta non-traditional but that's why I like it, LOL! I stamped the hearts from Background Basics: Hearts on Baja Breeze with Pure Poppy ink and added the ribbon. For my flower (CASEd from Dawn's post here), I used my Peony Nestabilities and cut three sizes--one with Pure Poppy Bitty Box Basics, one from Baja Breeze DSP, and for the top layer, I stamped another image from Background Basics: Hearts on Vintage Cream with Pure Poppy. I knew I had one more heart shaped button in my Pure Poppy Vintage Button jar, so I tied that on with Rustic Twine. The sentiment is from Simple Valentine. I sponged the edges of the flower layers and the Baja Breeze layer with Vintage Touch ink.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Tomorrow's Color Throwdown day--be sure to stop back by to see what we've got for you!
