RIC #36

Hi friends.  Today's card was inspired by the Runway challenge.  Here is the inspiration photo:

I pulled my inspiration from her sweater with the fun triangles.  I used one of the triangles in Trendy Triangles from Fresh Squeezed Stamps.  I stamped onto Confetti white cardstock in Blushing Bride and Basic Gray.  The ribbon reminded me of her balloony pants.  :)

CASology, Retro Sketches & ATCAS #12

 

Hi friends.  I am sharing my card today for Retro Sketches, Addicted to CAS, & CASology.  I love hexagons, so I just had to play along with Casology's cue word: Hexagon.  I used Trendy Triangles from FSS to create the rainbow hexagon.   I then die cut a hexagon out of the white and adhered it on dimensionals over the stamped image.  It only took me a couple of practice tries to get the triangles stamped just right.   :)  Here is the sketch for Retro Sketches:

Hi friends.  I am sharing today's card for The Play Date Cafe challenge and CAS(E) this Sketch.  I used the partial die cutting technique on my hello and also used Raspberry Ripple but embossed with clear embossing powder and it made it darker.  That was supposed to be my splash of Magenta but it now looks like a splash of burgandy.  :(

I just couldn't bring myself to add anything more to the Dad card.  :)  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Thank you for visiting and thank you for all your wonderful comments.  I appreciate them and you!!!

His & Hers Day 3, Monday Mood Board, & RS#61

Hi friends.  Sharing Day 3 homework with you all today.  His & Hers sympathy card.

I used the same colors for each card but used different stamp sets.

Hers:

This card uses Quilt Prints by Wplus9 and I was inspired by the Monday Mood Board that Dawn shares with us for this week.  I also followed the sketch at Retro Sketches.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

His & Hers Day 2 homework

Hi friends.  Real quick post for me today.  Just sharing my homework for Day 2 His & Hers online card class.

Her card:

 

His card:

I used Cristina's technique of coloring vellum.  She colored her vellum with Copics and I have not got on that band wagon (yet).  I colored my vellum with Stampin' Up! markers and it seemed to work fine.  I am thinking now, looking at these cards I could have duplicated the Her card into a His card by just changing the colored vellum.  Hmmm!   I think the sentiment on the Her card would work ok for a male card as well.  It is not too fancy.  I would just change out the gold sequins for something different.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

I have been cleaning out my stamp room and have listed some Retired Stampin' Up! Stamp sets here.
