welcome

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for this week's The Paper Players challenge.  This week is a super fun sketch from Jaydee!  I love when ideas just come to me as soon as I see the challenges.  I've been struggling with that lately, so this was a lot of fun for me!  I used a stencil and spread embossing paste, sprinkled with black embossing powder and heat set.  I applied some fussy ribbon and sequins and to finish off the card, I stamped my sentiment from my Winnie and Walter The Big The Bold and The Blessings and fussy cut around the outside since I don't have the dies.  I strategically placed pop dots along the back  :)
I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

happy anniversary

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  Fun challenge!  I thought it would be fun to make an anniversary card but wanted to do something different as far as colors.  I cut out the happy from my Winnie & Water The Big The Bold and The Happy die 3 times for dimension stamped the anniversary and added a few hearts from Pretty Pink Posh.  The panel is up with fun foam.

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thinking of You

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I thought this was a fun sketch!  I cut the roses from my Winnie & Walter Maggie's Roses dies twice for dimension and the inside once.  The side border was cut out using my Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders 3.  I stamped the sentiment and added a few sequins to finish off the card.

Thinking of You

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch challenge and it went perfectly with this weeks The Paper Players challenge.  It is tic tac toe and I chose the far left row.  I did color wash with my Peerless watercolors in a soft yellow.  I cut the rose diecut from Winnie & Walter 3 times for dimension.  The one sequin isn't really yellow, must be the lighting, it is yellow!

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Open Ombre

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for a couple of challenges.  First, today's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, this weeks challenge is ombre and this weeks CASology challenge.  The cue card this week is Open.    I had a couple of different ideas run through my head but decided to cut out the love with my dies from Winnie & Walter's The Big, the Bold and The Happy set.  I sponged on watercolor paper using Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, spritzing with water to blend.  I cut out the love 3 times for dimension.  I stamped the always and added 3 different colors of pink enamel dots.  I thought about adding other elements but in the end went with this design and am happy with it!

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Gold

Hi everyone!  I'm back again today with another Winnie & Walter World Card Making Day challenge!  This one is from Lydia and she is challenging us to use gold or metallic on our project.  I knew I wanted to use my In Bloom: Maggie's Roses Cutaways for my card, I love these gorgeous dies!  The leaves and rose are inked on watercolor paper, rose and leaves cut with gold paper and the sentiment is from my The Big, The Bold and The Happy embossed with gold embossing powder.  The rose us up on pop dots.
Thanks so much for stopping by again today!!

Watercolor

Hi everyone!  I'm still playing along with Winnie & Walter's World Card Making day challenges, hoping to get a few more in!  I'm loving watercoloring lately so I had to be sure and play along with Vanessa's Watercolor challenge!  I used Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade and used the smooshing technique on this card.  Drying and added additional color in between layers.  I used my The Big The Bold and The Happy stamp set and happy cutaway, love love love this set!!  To finish off the card I added drops of glossy accents.

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

happy birthday sketch

Hi everyone!  I'm back again with another card for World Card Making day!  I'm having a ton of fun playing in Winnie & Walter's challenges and this card is for Gayatri's sketch.  I thought it would be so fun to use my new Scenery:  Big Bang Confetti, love this fun set!!  The birthday is from my The Big The Bold and The Happy and I used my happy cutaway and added glossy accents to help it stand out more.  I randomly added a few sequins to finish off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by again today!

Make it Masculine

Hi everyone and happy world card making day!!  I have a card for Julie's  Make it Masculine challenge for Winnie & Walter's World Card Making Day challenge.  I don't do it often enough but I do love making masculine cards, they are a true challenge but fun to figure out!!  Earlier this week I received my new Winter Woodland set that I got for both Christmas and masculine cards, I think it perfect for both!  Lots of sponging around the edges with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs and Walnut Stain distress inks.  The birthday panel is up with pop dots.

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

happy birthday

Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  Normally I am not good with these kinds of sketches, I never seem to get an idea that looks good.  But, earlier today I came up with something and I like it!  I received my Brusho Crystal Colours and had fun playing!  I love the font on the die from Winnie & Walters The Big, the Bold and the Happy.  I used the birthday from the set The Big, the Bold and the Happy.

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

love you

Hi everyone!!  Today I have a card for this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  My mojo returned a bit when I saw this fun sketch!  I hope that roll keeps on going, I don't like when it takes a hike!  I finally got my hands on this super fun set from Winnie & Walter, The Big, the Bold and the Happy stamp set and dies.  I've had my eye on them for a bit and finally got them!  I made a watercolor background using Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Fired Brick distress inks.  I blended them with water, dried the paper and added droplets of water.  The love was cut out 3 times for dimension and I added a few heart sequins randomly.

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!!
