Weekend Sketch Challenge-Garden Whimsy!

 Ok!  Yes I am a little late posting this one!!  I was trying to post it yesterday but my computer did not want to upload this picture.  This again is a color scheme I like to use alot!  Let me know what you think.

Colors:  lavendar lace, basic black, tempting turquoise

Accessories:  button latte, Big Shot with the Clear Circle & Scallop Circle dies, black satin ribbon(isn't it fabulous?), iridescent ice emboss with heat tool, lavendar lace craft ink, Pink Flamingo dsp

Stamp set:  Garden Whimsy, Whimsical Words(clear mount) from the SAB flyer, Teeny Tiny Wishes

I stamped the butterfly using the craft ink, sprinkled with iridescent ice emboss and used the heat tool.  For the circles I cut them both out using the Big Shot, adhered them together, attached to the dsp and using my scissors cut off the top.  Then the whole piece can be attached to the card base.  Have a great day!

Weekend Sketch Challenge- a little twist!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I am back with Gretchen Barron's Weekend Sketch Challenge!  Again I threw in a little twist, a Top Note die Box.  I hope you like!!

Here is what it looks like on the inside.

And a side view

Colors:  pretty in pink, real red, chocolate chip, kraft

Accessories:  chocolate chip satin ribbon, Sweet Pea dsp, build a brad-antique brass, Big Shot with the Top Note die, Scallop Trim edge punch(available in the Sale-a-Bration mini), stampin write markers in pretty in pink, real red, basic blak and old olive, 1/2" circle punch

Stamp set:  Love You Much

I got this idea from my sister!  It is so cute!!  To make the top and base of the box I used the cardboard from the dsp packages and cut it to fit the top note die.  Then, using a glue stick, I attached the real red textured cardstock to the top and the kraft to the bottom.  After it dried I ran it through the Big Shot.  For my side decoration I made my strips of chocolate chip, edged it with the Scallop Trim punch, and my dsp from the Sweet Pea pack.  I adhered them and ran them through the Big Shot as well.  Oh, and I aged everything on this project using my creamy caramel ink pad and a stampin' sponge!!  Let me know what you think!  Have a great day!

Weekend Sketch Challenge, 2 Cool Dudes!

Happy Tuesday all!  I thought I would give Gretchen Barron's Weekend Sketch Challenge another go today!  I decided to use some not so traditional Christmas colors for this one.  Let me know what you think!!

Colors:  rich razzleberry, orchid opulence, old olive

Accessories:  Big Shot with the Top Note die, circle scissor plus, rhinestone brad, old olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge punch, jumbo silver brads 5/16", Cottage Wall designer series paper

Stamp set: 2 Cool Dudes

I had a lot of fun putting this card together!  I didn't know exactly if I was going to like the color combo in a Christmas card, but I love it!!  For the olive background piece(I keep seeing this technique on Gretchen's blog and had to try) cut your cardstock with the Top Note die then turn it sideways and cut again!  It was so easy to do and gives such a great look!  Have a great day!!
 

Weekend Sketch Challenge!

So this is my first attempt at Gretchen Barron's Weekend Sketch Challenge!  My downline Erin does it all the time, figured I would give it a try!  Let me know what you think!!

Colors:  old olive, chocolate chip, real red, very vanilla

Accessories:  Big Shot, petals a plenty embossing folder, real red 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge punch, champagne shimmer paint, merry moments designer series paper

I stamped my image using black StazOn ink and colored using my stampin' write markers in old olive, real red and pumpkin pie.  After running my vanilla through the Big Shot I used some champagne shimmer paint on a stipple brush to add a bit of glitz.  I also edged my snowman with shimmer paint.  Have a great day!!
