Stop and Smell the Flowers

WT642 challenge - Sabrina is our hostess this week for the challenge and she is challenging us to use strips of paper on our cards. Lets Strip

I am always looking for ways to use up scraps and this challenge was perfect. Using the scraps off the edge of the cut purple card I punched one strip and layered the brown DP strip with two purple strips cut from the edge.

Stamped the House Mouse image and colored with copics. Did the out of the box cutting on the image and popped up on dimensionals. Used a purple strip and punched the lace used a brown DP strip and layered with two purple strips that were cut off the edge of the base layer. Finished off with the ribbon.

Freedom & Happiness

MMTPT466 challenge - Create a card featuring any of the various fun activities, for celebrating the day, whatever you have a memories of from your own celebrations. Try to include a little red white and blue, but you can use other colors too.

For me on the 4th I enjoy the day outdoors either on a picnic or gardening or watching fireworks. I enjoy the freedom and happiness of the day so I used this great stamp from unity that had the perfect sentiment for the 4th of July. I colored her in red, white and blue. I added some velum for the sentiment a couple additional white flowers with liquid pearls.

Awesome Autumn

IC603 challenge: Fun with Scrapbook Projects - I found this awesome Card. The banner really pulled me in to the card. I pulled out my stack of DP trying to use up some scraps and cut them down for the base and for the grass looking hill on my card. Added the banner and put the flowers on the banner rather than on the hill. finished off with the sentiment. The apples were fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals and colored with pencils.

Awesome Autumn

The WT641 challenge - That's Sea Worthy

Stamped this darling Unity Mermaid and colored her with copics. Die cut the image and layered on dimensionals. The layer that looks like cheese cloth is not cheese cloth. It is a really old paper that does look like cheese cloth. Die cut some twig leaves and tucked behind the image and finished off with some sequins.

Birthday Boot

IC602 challenge - The amazing Washi Arts Blog - oh the inspiration. I found this wonderful Paper. Audrie you are right I want to grab all my patterned papers and play after visiting this site.

I found this DP with a similar pattern in black and white. This boot also had a similar pattern in the boot and I thought it would look great paired with the paper. To get it to pop I put it on a white CS then added texture on the white CS. Finished off with ribbon, gems and sentiment.

This super boot image is a gift from my sweet SCS friend Tonda Baldwin. Thank you so much Tonda for this boot image, I LOVE it! :)
