Freshly Fab Birthday

This week's sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches sure had me thinking. I have no new stamp sets, so I tend to go to the same ones a lot.  This is my third attempt at a card for this sketch that I like.  My other two attempts are not show worthy. I seem to have lost my creativity for cards.  With my nice new stamp room, I am lacking motivation and inspiration. Not sure how to fix that.

The colors over at Fab Friday Challenge are beautiful. This was a challenge for me too, but I was able to put them together.   I am really liking my card now the more I look at it. Except, I should have put my little banner in the bottom corner on a separate cardstock first and cut it out, it has taken on the embossing from the crumb cake cardstock!

I did some paper piercing, some embossing and a little bit of stamping.

Thanks for stopping by.

Paper Players

The Paper Players challenge this week was to use the sketch they provided. In honor of National Earth Month, they thought it would be fun to challenge us to use a recycled or re-purposed item on our projects.  I am using an old envelope that I have decorated with Pool Party, More Mustard, and Soft Suede paper and DSP.  

Thanks for stopping in.

Case Study

I don't think I have ever done a Challenge such as this one over at Case Study.  There is a first time for everything, and I really enjoyed getting inspiration from a card.

I used Very Vanilla Paper and Crumb Cake Ink.  THe butterfly and sentiment is Primrose Petals Ink. I love this color combination.

I spritzed some crumb cake ink on the card using the spritzer. It adds so much to a card.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is our inspiration card, it's absolutely beautiful!

Fab Duo!

Fab Friday has a wonderful sketch this week.   I borrowed this stamp set of Awash FLowers, and I am really liking it. I will have to make a few more cards before I give it back :)

Dynamic Duo challenge this week is Primrose Petals and a color of our choice.  I went with crumb Cake. I love these colors, they are soft and subtle.

All Stampin' Up! material and supplies used.

FMS - birthday!

This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches really had me thinking.  I took a lot of elements from a card that Teneale Williams made a long time ago.
The colors are Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede.
The DSP is Everyday Enchantment.
I also got some new supplies this weekend, and just had to play with them.
The little rosettes are absolutely gorgeous!  I unraveled one to put on my card on top of the scallop piece as well as a rosette.
Thanks for stopping by.
