“inspired” Color challenge

Good Morning all!. I am participating in two more challenges this week. One is ” Inspired” color challenge by papertrey ink and the other one is ” Thinking about you “ by Digi Darla. I was excited about the  papertrey inks challenge because I recently purchased some stamps and die’s from their new release kit and I couldn’t wait to use it, but it was put to the side until now. I used their new garden die and coordinating stamp for the seed packet. I also used the included sentiment. For the cardstock I used a digi kit from Sweet Shoppe designs. I then embellished the card with some ribbon and paper leaves. I really loved using this stamp set and I might just purchase the seed packet envelope die.

Next card is for Digi Darla’s ” Thinking of you ” challenge. This week Digi Darla’s challenge is sponsored by Floppy Lattes and so I decided to check them out and use one of their digi stamps. I really loved their flower section and they also have a great sale going on. For this card I used a floral frame digi stamp and added a sentiment to the middle of it. I used designer paper from different packs and for embellishment I used a recollections rose and paper leaves. I colored the image with copic markers.

Getting deconstructed

Good Afternoon everyone, wow I can’t believe another week has past by and it’s already May. Today Jen posted up her new sketch challenge- Deconstructed Sketch 50. I actually got a glimpse of it on her Facebook page last night. At first I thought “wow, this sketch is going to be a bit tricky” but after checking out the other designs from the design team I became a bit more at ease. Some may think your creativity is limited to what the sketch ask for but for me I think it’s the opposite and that’s why I love to join her challenges. Lately I have been using a lot of digital designer kits because there is a large selection online and you can download them instantly. It saves up space and also gives you a greater flexibility to cut and resize to your liking. I mostly get my digi kits from two peas and a bucket but there are definitely many other sites offering beautiful digi designs. Ok now back to the card. For this card I used A day for daises digi stamp and colored her in with my copic markers. The paper I used are from a digi kit I downloaded called Blush Pattern Paper. I embellished the card with pink seam binding and stitched the edges with my handheld singer sewing machine. The sentiment is from StampinUp “Tiny wishes”. If you would like to know more about digi printing feel free to email me. I would be glad to share what I know.

Tiddlyinks has a new challenge this week and it’s called “A Million Ways to Say Thank You” challenge 85. Since mother’s day is coming up I thought why not Thank our mommies. I used Wryn( my FAV tiddlyink) and used a digi sentiment stamp. I embelished the card with some lace and a few paper flowers.

 

Vintage cafe card challenge…

I found a new challenge tonight. It’s called the Vintage Cafe Card Challenge. I found this site after checking out Lily Bean Paperie’s website for some mothers day inspiration. I thought it would be great to try out this challenge. FYI I just love Lily Bean’s cards. I love her style and the amazing colors she uses. So for this challenge I used a couple of different digi kits and one of them is from two peas and a bucket. The image is a free image from Free Vintage digital stamp I also added lace and twine as embellishments. One new technique I used on this card is stitching. I bought a handheld singer machine a few days ago and I am really happy with the results. For less then $20 bucks you can’t go wrong.
