Cupcake Inspirations Color Challenge


Hello friends! It's time for another lovely little color combination over at Cupcake Inspirations. Don't these cupcakes look yummy?!


DEEtails:

I love this little sheet music background from DRS! I stamped it in Night of Navy on some Very Vanilla card stock and layered it onto some Night of Navy DSP. Then I stamped some Festive Flurry snowflakes with some VersaMark onto some brushed Gold card stock, then embossed them in silver. I stacked them with some Stampin' Dimensionals, then tucked some card stock on the bottom, stamped with the beautiful sentiment from Joy to the World. 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!

Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge


It's time for a fun new sketch challenge over at Pals Paper Arts! Check out the fun sketch Margaret Moody has designed for us this time!


Here are the DEEtails:

I pulled out my pad of Winter Frost DSP selected two lovely patterns for this card. I added some Pool Party ribbon to break up the patterns. Then I stamped some snowflakes from Festive Flurry in Whisper White ink on Coastal Cabana cardstock and die cut the images. I sandwiched a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I stamped with the sentiment from Joy to the World in Coastal Cabana ink. I'm loving these colors!

Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge


Hello lovelies! :) It's time for a fabulous color challenge over at Pals Paper Arts this week! I'm hoping you'll play along!


Here are the DEEtails:

I started by stamping the Positively Chevron background stamp on some watercolor paper with some VersaMark ink and embossed it with clear powder. Then I saturated the piece with my Aqua Painter and some Summer Starfruit ink. Then I stamped the deer image from Remembering Christmas in VersaMark on some Early Espresso card stock. I cut him out and adhered him to my card. Then I added some pretty poppies from Pleasant Poppies, which I inked up a bit with my Blender Pen. Then I added some lovely ribbon - Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin ribbon, some Crisp Cantaloupe Ruffle Stretch Trim and some Early Espresso Stitched Grosgrain ribbon. I added the sentiment from Hello, Lovely, inked in Early Espresso and Crisp Cantaloupe. What do you think?
