Lily Birthday

 

IC1055 - Essential Stencil - INSPIRATION

F4A835 - Pink Flowers

For this card, I was inspired by the lily and reached for my lily stencil from The Ton. After stenciling the bloom, I used the coordinating die to cut it out and layered it over a pair of plaid panels, adding a thin white trim to echo the lily’s outline.

The card is finished with a birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals and a few green candy dots for a soft, balanced touch.

Pink Birthday Flower

 

F4A835 - Pink Flowers

For my card today, I reached for a paper pad I am working to use up this year and added one of the patterns to a white card base. Since the challenge called for pink flowers, I pulled out my pink paper scraps and built the layout, adding a touch of green as a highlight layer.

With the panel in place, I finished the design with a pink birthday sentiment, a single pink flower with green leaves from my stash, and a few candy dots from my tote of items I am trying to use up.

WT1093 - Music Playing Devices

For my card today, I wanted to create a design filled with music and energy, so I focused on bold color and texture. The panel was sponged with red, blue, green, and yellow Distress Oxide inks, then the Tim Holtz drum image was stamped on top.

Next, I added Nuvo Mousse through a stencil on a couple of corners to bring in extra dimension.

A light white splatter from a Heidi Swapp spritz added movement and contrast.

The card was finished with the Just A Note sentiment, white heat embossed on black cardstock, and the panel mounted on a white card base.

SC1102 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out several dog themed papers, including two different paw print patterns, a Unity Stamp dog paper, and a Hunkydory paper.

The black and white paw print paper was trimmed and layered on black cardstock, then placed on the white card base. I added two flags and stamped the sentiment on them. The Hunkydory dog image was layered on black cardstock and tucked under the flags to complete the focal point.

This card will be another of my pet donation cards.

CAS886 - Humorous

For my card, when I think humorous, my go to is Art Impressions, and this image was just right. I stamped it on white cardstock and colored it with Copics, adding the sentiment in the upper left corner.

The panel was trimmed and layered on a black card base to keep the focus on the playful image.

FS993 - this week's incredibly gifted featured stamper ntowry (Nancy). Here is my INSPIRATION.

I drew inspiration from her beautiful single bloom and reached for this rose from Sweet N Sassy. I stamped it on white cardstock, colored it with Copics, then trimmed it into a square and layered it over yellow cardstock for a soft pop of contrast.

Instead of using a full strip behind the rose, I switched things up with two banners and added a bit of sponging to bring out their edges.

To finish the card, I popped the sentiment up on dimensionals and added a few gems for a touch of sparkle.

IC1054 - Anthropology - INSPIRATION

For this card, I was inspired by the patchwork on the beautiful dress and pulled out my stack of one‑inch paper square scraps to create a coordinating patchwork background. Each piece was adhered to white cardstock and then trimmed to fit a 4.25 x 5.5 black card base.

The card is finished with a thank you sentiment on an oval, popped up on dimensionals and layered over a scalloped oval for a clean, classic focal point.
