Cupcake Inspirations Color Challenge

Happy Sunday! Today we have a pretty color combination over at Cupcake Inspirations to challenge you. Will you make something pretty? Or something pretty spooky? :)

DEEtails:

I saw this gorgeous card by Betsy Veldman that I just knew I had to CASE, so I started by stamping some pretty blossoms from Fabulous Florets in Elegant Eggplant on some Whisper White card stock. Then I added a piece of vellum over the top half. I stamped the sentiment from Curly Cute in VersaMark ink and embossed it. I love the look of white on white. I adhered everything to an Early Espresso card then tied some stitched grosgrain ribbon in Early Espresso across the front. Hope you like it!

Don't forget to take a peek at the creations that the rest of the Sweeties have cooked up for this week's challenge over on the Cupcake Inspirations blog. Then be sure to link up your card to our challenge! Can't wait to see what you create!

Cupcake Inspirations Theme Challenge

Eek! A creepy crawly! Today I'm sharing a pretty simple Halloween card that I whipped up for this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. I hope you'll play along with us this week! :)

DEEtails:

I pulled out some old Peach Parfait DSP for the background and added a piece of Whisper White card stock. I hope you can see the spider web from The Stamps of Life in the background, that I stamped in Illuminate pigment ink. To make the hanging spider, I stamped him once, directly on the card, then punched a hole in his center (ouch!) I strung a piece of black needlepoint floss through the hole and adhered it to the back. Then I restamped the center of the spider and covered the hole with some Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is from Border Banter. Hope you like it!

Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge

I'm so sad to have missed our last Pals Paper Arts Challenge. Unfortunately, I was under the weather and had to take a break from crafting. I'm back again with this week's sketch challenge. Our Resident Artist, Margaret Moody has something fun for us this week!

DEEtails:

I can't get enough of this I Am Me DSP. The colors are so fresh and fun. I used it as my inspiration for my color palette - You know I would usually stay away from the red, but it just spoke to me! Ha! My card base is Basic Gray with some Pool Party card stock layered with a strip of that fabulous polka dotted DSP. I added some Chevron Ribbon in Smoky Slate  and added a little banner in Real Red with the sentiment from Lots of Thanks. Some  Flower Shop flowers, embellished with Rhinestone Jewels sprinkled across the card adds the final touch. What do you think?

Be sure to stop by Pals Paper Arts and check out what the Resident Artists have made! Then join the challenge using the fun sketch above and link up your creation. Hope to see you there!

Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge

Happy October! :) Today I'm here with the rest of the Stampin' Celebration team with a brand new Inspiration for you! I hope you'll be excited to create with the fabulous colors and textures in the inspiration below! I know, I certainly was!

DEEtails:
I'm sure you know by now how much I love the Chevron DSP, so of course I had to use it for this card! I added a piece of burlap, that I picked up at the local craft store and cut out a little frame from some Soft Suede card stock. Beneath it, I adhered a pretty Dahlia bloom, inked in Calypso Coral and colored in with some Crisp Cantaloupe. For a little added texture, I tied on some Linen Thread. Finally, I added the sentiment as a banner below. Hope you like it!

Paper: Crisp Cantaloupe Chevron DSP, Crisp Cantaloupe card stock, Soft Suede card stock, Whisper white card stock
Stamps: Four You, Regarding Dahlias
Ink: Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe, Soft Suede
Embellishments: burlap, Linen Thread
