ShowCASe your Style #16

Hi everyone!
Time for another challenge at showCASe your style.
This week we have an inspiration challenge for you.

 
 and here is my card...



I used the stamp set Say Cheese to stamp the film strips in gray ink on the background.  I stamped the sentiment using Ombre inks.  I used the direct to paper technique to create the mat for the sentiment.  I added some gold thread behind and wooden stars as accents.


We'd love to see your card inspired by the inspiration!
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!


Stamps:  Say Cheese (Clearly Whimsy)
Ink:  Smoky Slate

The Card Concept #36

Hi friends!
It is time for another fabulous challenge at The Card Concept!


This week we hope you are inspired by the photo below.



I was inspired by the yummy looking cupcakes and the colors.  I used the stamp set Yum Yum Yum by Clearly Whimsy Stamps.  The cupcake was just perfect.  I colored with my Copics added a little strip of black for a little contrast.
 
Stop over to The Card Concept blog to see what the other girls have created in all of the different styles.  I just love this challenge just for this reason!  It's great to see all the different takes on one inspiration photo.
Thanks so much for stopping in!  I hope you get the chance to play along too!

Yep, rainbow colors - my favorite!

Happy Birthday & Hello


Happy Saturday everyone!
I am popping in real quick with a couple cards for The Gossip Column #2.  


I used Scenery: Rectangled & Triangled by Winnie & Walter to create my focal point.  Embossed the sentiment from The Big, the Bold, and the Happy using white embossing powder on pink cardstock.

Second card using the same stamp sets...



Before you go I want to share a sneak peek of the DT's cards for this week's "Either/Or" challenge at StampNation. 
We had to chose one item from each category and couldn't use the other on our cards.  
I chose rectangle, sequins, die cut & gold.  Any guesses on which one is mine?

Thank U


Hi everyone!
It has been a while since I have played along with Runway Inspired Challenge.  


I was drawn to the pattern on her shoulders and boots.  I used the same colors.
My very neglected stamp set Modern Beadwork got some use along with my MISTI.  After stamping, I fussy cut around one half of the stamped images.  The sentiment is Bold Wishes by CAS-ual Fridays.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Bold Wishes (CASual Friday)
Ink:  Hibiscus Burst, Orange Zest, Royal Velvet (PTI)

Merry Monday #159


 Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Debbie challenges us to create a Christmas card with a non-evergreen tree(s).


I recently picked up this Mini scenery stamp by Winnie and Walter and knew right away I wanted to use it.  I have been playing with my new ombre ink pads and thought the grey to black would look perfect with this stamp.  I LOVE how it turned out.  I added the red bird and sentiment for a pop of color.

Adding this to The Glory of Christmas Challenge:  Bird(s) or anything goes as long as it's Christmas & Addicted to CAS: Birds.

  Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog. I hope you will join us!


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Into the Woods (Winnie & Walter)
Paper:  Real Red, Whisper White (SU)
