Layered with Thanks

Today I am the Featured Artist at Pals Paper Arts. I hope you'll join me in this week's fun challenge, using layers to create a thank you card.

Ready for the DEEtails?

I started off with a Pumpkin Pie card and started building layers. First, I tied a bow with some Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. Then I added a piece of Tangerine Tango (this layer is hard to see in my photo because I only let a sliver peak out underneath). Next was a strip of Haiku DSP at the top on my card, followed by a layer of Chocolate Chip card stock. Then I added some more Haiku DSP, which I pleated. I stamped my image from my Wandering Words set, inked with my Stampin' Write Markers in Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Real Red on Naturals White card stock. Finally I added some Pumpkin Pie Taffeta ribbon (I added a sliver of Pumpkin Pie card stock under the ribbon, since it is a little sheer).

There you have it! A fabulous fall card! Enjoy! :)

Greenhouse Butterflies

I know I'm late for the W Plus 9 Color Cue Challenge, but I was totally intruiged by the color combination that I had to try it out!


DEEtails:

I started out punching the butterflies out of Greenhouse Gala DSP, using my Martha Stewart Butterfly punch. I punched out some solid Daffodil Delight butterflies as well to use in the back. I adhered my solid butterflies, flat onto a piece of Naturals White card stock that I had in my scrap pile, that looked like a good size. Then I bent my patterned butterflies slightly, and used a glue dot to adhere them to my solid butterflies. I added a row of Rhinestone Jewels to the center of each butterfly for a little bit of bling. I added a Rich Razzleberry Satin bow, then matted my card stock with a sliver of Rich Razzleberry and some more Greenhouse Gala DSP. I adhered everything onto a Kiwi Kiss card. I love this color combination!

Celebrate Your Day!

It's Sunday, so time for another Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!

Here are the DEEtails:

I used a Ruby Red base for my card, which for some reason is looking rather PINK in my photo... I used my Top Note Die with some cork, stamped with a sentiment from PTI's Signature Greetings set. Then I printed out two Black Eyed Susan images from today's sponsor, Passion for Stamps. I colored them in with my Stampin' Write Markers in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, and Old Olive. I apologize that my coloring is not up to par. I think I should explain, since we've gone several weeks with some sad coloring... When I was in elementary school, I always had TONS of homework, so often times, my mom would color stuff for me so I could focus on the academic stuff. Thanks to my mom, I'm pretty smart, but my coloring skills are weak! Seriously, if anyone has any good coloring tips, please share! So back to my card... I tied a floppy bow, with Pumpkin Pie Satin Ribbon. Then I cut out my flowers and adhered them with glue dots onto my card to frame the cork piece.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll play along! :)
