Featured Stamper 278, "kyann22"

Lovely cards created by this stamper.  I have not seen her gallery and she has some beautiful cards!


My card based on her's ~ "Send a Celebration Card #2" can been checked out here.

I normally go with the first card, but rules are do not use sketch challenges, her first two are SC's from others and I am not sure of the rules on that, so to be safe picked the third upload.

I changed the colors and stamps.  I used White, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, the dsp is Summer Smooches paper.  My stamp set is from Bright Blossoms and I used Pewter Embossing Powder on the vase, very difficult to capture in a photo.  The flowers are colored in Tangerine Tango and Lucky Limeade.

I used paper piercing in the upper corners.  The sentiment I will add at a later date when I decied how I will use the card.

Have a great rest of the afternoon!

Yep!  That was me this past Sunday...boy was I blown away.

After breakfast I wondered down to my spot in the house.  You know that one area that is all mine.  Anyway got on line to see who's card I would be casing for the day and got a shock.  I was that person!!!

Just want to say thank you to all those who took (will) the time to make a card from my little gallery.  Thank you so much.  I do so appreciate the wonderful comments and compliments!

On to today's color challenge.  We are to use Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder & Sahara Sand.

Neutrals of our choice and dessert is something shinny or clear, like crystal effects, etc.

I went simple today.  I took the picture before the crystal effects was fully dry, so of course it's not so shinny right now.

My stamp set is the Inspired by Nature from Stampin' Up and I use Stampin Write pens to color it, then used the huffing technique on it.  The card stock is Sahara Sand, Wisteria Wonder and White.  Then used the paper piercing in the corners.  And added the knoted ribbon in Blushing Bride.

Thanks for stopping by...hope you have a great day!

CC320 & FTTC115 Thank You

I am trying my hand at two challenges today.  One is Split Coast Stampers Color Challenge and the other is Flourishes Sketch hosted this week by a wonderful friend ~ Silke ~ which you can check out here  My Life .



                   




The colors to use are Cetainly Celery, Bashful Blue & Baja Breeze at SCS and a sketch from Flourishes.  I also added white.

I used the embossing folder Diamonds and Dots from Quickutz for the base.  The paper was to big...so I moved it to have the full effect in the background

Next layer is the Beaded Circles Nestabilities from Spellbinders, while still in the frame I sponged it with a dauber in Baja Breeze.

I used the beautiful single flower from the "Thank You #33 set" from Flourishes.  Colored it with Stampin Write Certainly Celery and copics Y08 & Y15 after stamping it in Black Noir.

The corners are paper pierced and a row of pearls added.  Made a bow and assembled.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Today we are to use River Rock, Basic Grey and Whisper White.  Dessert option is a background stamp.

These colors are great together.  Soft and quiet.  I went with simple and clean.

I stamped the image in Basic Grey from the Elements of Style, then colored with River Rock in the shaded areas.  Used the Paper Piercing in the corners.  Then bordered the card with Basic Grey and River Rock.

I am happy with how the card turned out and hope you like it too!

Today the colors are Old Olive, Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight.  These are great colors to work with.  I have been gone all day and could not make a card until now and think I could have made several with these colors.

I stamped the image using craft ink in Old Olive then used clear embossing powder on it.  It changed the color for some reason, but looks neat.  I used an oval nestie as a cover and daubed with Daffodil Delight around it.  The cut out the Night of Navy and placed it off set , then centered the stamped image.  I paper pierced the corners to give the card a little something else.  The stamp is from Insightful Meadow from Unity Stamp Company.

Hope you like the card and thanks for stopping.

TLC269, KSS#24 Butterflies

I was working on making a card for the Kitchen Sink Challenge #24 "It's hip to be square" and wanted to add a little something to it.  Remembered today on SCS the challenge was to use paper piercing and thought perfect.  That will add the little more I need on this card.

I used dimensionals to give the card some depth.  For the butterfly layers:  #1 Dandelion, #2 Dessert Sand, then Potters Clay, #3 Imperial Purple.  Kind of reminds me of the Monarch Butterfly.

Supplies:

Card Stock  ~  Whisper White, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip

Stamp Set  ~  KSS Butterflies

Ink  ~  Memento's Dandelion, Dessert Sand, Potter's Clay, Imperial Purple

Accessories  ~  Paper Piercing Set, Silver Rhinestones, Dimensionals
