Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge

It's time for another sketch challenge at Pals Paper Arts! As always, our sketches are created by our fabulously talented Resident Artist, Margaret Moody. Can I tell you, this card was so much fun to make! I mean, after I got over the initial frustration of what to do with what seemed like a really difficult sketch! Haha!

DEEtails:

I honestly had no idea what to do with these diagonals, until I looked over and saw my lovely new Washi Tape just begging to be used! Then the ideas came flooding to me! I started with covering a piece of Whisper White card stock with Gingham Garden Washi Tape, then matted it with some Crushed Curry card stock. Then I cut a piece of the matching DSP to fit behind a little "Polaroid frame" that I cut out of Whisper White card stock and adhered with dimensionals. I added the sentiment, stamping and die cutting the Itty Bitty Banner Thank You, using Night of Navy ink on Island Indigo card stock. Then I hand cut a little bouquet of flowers from the Gingham Garden DSP (I used the Island Indigo print and just cut along the white border on the flowers) and attached it to my "Polaroid." I matted everything with Whisper White cardstock to really make it pop against my Island Indigo card. Hope you like it!

Now, be sure to check out all the other lovely creations the Resident Artists have crafted for you over at Pals Paper Arts! Then get out your favorite crafty goodies and try out this fun sketch challenge! Have fun!

Cupcake Inspirations Color Challenge

Hi friends! Gosh, I still can't believe it's June already! I have to pinch myself every day!

I've got a simple little card today for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. Aren't these colors just fabulous?

This week's challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations is being sponsored by a brand new sponsor - Taylored Expressions! Working with this sponsor was extra special for me because it gave me a chance to reconnect with my gal pal, Regina. *grin* Regina was one of my first web buddies when I started stamping. A former Stampin' Pretty Pal, she is now part of the fun over at Taylored Expressions!

Card DEEtails:

Although Taylored Expressions has some adorable cupcake images, I decided to go sans cupcake for this card. I winced a little when I cut the little cutie out from the image that I used from Sweet Bliss, but the letters were all I needed. They L, V, and E are on Summer Starfruit card stock. For the O, I used some pretty Flower Trim, inked with Lavender Lace, a retired SU! color. I adhered my letters onto a Martha Stewart doily and used dimensionals to adhere it to my PS Pool card, covered with some Dotty Biscotti patterned paper from Papertrey and some dotted scallop ribbon border in Summer Starfruit. I trimmed the top corner with my rounded corner punch, then added some pretty purple ribbon from my stash to tie up the card, and I was done!
