Congratulations!

Another multiple challenge card! Yippee!! It's for SCS Color Combinations #206 (Rose Red, More Mustard, and Kiwi Kiss), Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #31, and SCS Ways To Use It #206--use stripes.

My base card is Whisper White with layers of Rose Red, More Mustard, and Kiwi Kiss. Following the sketch, I added two patterns from Basic Grey's Mellow 6 x 6 pad and a Kiwi Kiss striped ribbon. The focal image from Playful Petals (new from SU!) was stamped on Solar White card stock from PTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers (see below for colors used) and is matted with the challenge colors. Flat-backed gold beads accent the focal image and all four corners of the base card. The sentiment is from MFT Sassy Sayings set and was stamped on More Mustard with Basic Black, matted with Kiwi Kiss and attached to the back of the focal element. The whole thing is up on 3M foam squares.

Thanks for dropping by! Hope to see you back soon!

Definitely a stretch

First, I want to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

This card is for two challenges: SCS Ways To Use It #205 (use fabric) and Limited Supplies #207 (stretch yourself--use two or more things on a card that you don't normally use). I think this is the first time for me with both of these challenges and I must say they were fun!

For the Limited Supplies Challenge, the things I did that I don't normally do (actually, there are three things on this card that I've *never* done on a card before): 1) use fabric; 2) sew; and 3) distress cardstock. I'd been planning to use fabric, as evidenced by the fact that I had some Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps in my stash. But this made me pull 'em out and use 'em.

My base card is Very Vanilla with layers (couldn't totally go wild, now could I?) of Pumpkin Pie, Barely Banana, and Sage Shadow with a strip of russet ribbon across the middle. The focal image is from the Winter collection of Cotton Scraps and was sewed onto Very Vanilla card stock, layered on Pumpkin Pie, and is up on 3M foam squares. All card stock was distressed with the back of my scissors blade. Pumpkin colored brads accent each corner and that's that! Certainly not like anything else in my gallery but I think I like it!

Thanks for dropping in!

Feeling Under the Weather?

I'm so stoked about this card! I'm so happy with how it turned out, and it works for four--count 'em, FOUR--challenges, LOL! First, it's for My Favorite Things Who's That Girl Challenge #21--use a Who's That Girl stamp and at least three patterned papers (I'm all about that, LOL!), next it's for the SCS Technique Lovers Challenge #207--cut it out, then SCS Ways to Use It #204--pile up the embellishments (right up my alley!), and last, but certainly not least, Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday Challenge 2--use a button. Whew! What fun!!

My base card is Whisper White with three layers of DP from Basic Grey's Romani/Gypsy 6 x 6 pad (and I'm not even counting the two solid DP in my count). The focal image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Stamper's Select White from PTI using a stamp from MFT's Rain or Shine set. I paper pieced (raincoat and doggy's coat) and colored it with Copic markers (see below for colors used). The umbrella was stamped on Whisper White with Really Rust ink and then it was cut out and adhered with 3M foam squares. The sentiment is also from the set and was stamped on Whisper White with Memento Tuxedo Black, is layered on two solid colors of DP, and is also up on foam squares. Some Prima flowers and buttons with hemp thread add accents and complete the requirements for the other challenges. I really love this card--hope you do too!
