SO HAPPY FOR YOU

 The June challenge is up at A Cut Above Die Cut Challenge Blog!

 

My share today is pretty much a monochrome aside from the green outlined design on the patterned paper and stamped focal image. 

 

SO HAPPY FOR YOU

 

This floral DP reminded me of a vintage wallpaper design.  Pretty pattern, but it's kind of  busy and I wasn't sure how to use it on a card, so I stuck with a simple, clean palette of white and green. It's matted with a coordinating paper from the collection.  The focal flower looked very similar to the pattern and I had green ink that was a perfect match although it didn't photograph that way.  I stamped the floral image twice and adhered them together with foam tape for dimension.  The sentiment is part of the same stamp/die set.  I embellished the corners and smaller flowers with white pearls.

Welcome crafty friends... 

 

 There's a new challenge up at the Double D Challenge Blog!  Today's theme is "Splatters!" 

 

 This brings to mind so many things for me.... jumping in a puddle that splatters, using a mixer that splatters on the walls (and me), dropping a drink that splatters everywhere! But, let's keep it in craft mode where it deals with paints, mists, inks and other MM products.

 

Here's a colorful and fun mood board to inspire you.

  

The Double D Team will be choosing a Top Creative Winner and an additional three Creative Winners. 

So stop on by and play along with this fun challenge!
 

I am in my "magical" mode and love splashing and splattering with them in addition to adding acrylic paint splatters.  They seem to be finding their way onto many of my recent projects.

I used bronze metallic paper for matting the focal panel and the sentiment.  A bit of coastal colors on this card with the shades of blues and tans.  I used white acrylic to add the splatters to the background.  The blue sentiment is offset in white on the bronze mat with a few white enamel dots scattered around.

New Day!

Hi crafty friends!

A new challenge is up at the Double D with the theme of "Watercolor". The mood board inspiration is beautiful and the Design Team will be choosing top creative projects!

Tim Holtz Distress Stains

I went with bold summer colors on my card...

tomorrow is a new day
  I used shimmer water colors for the background on this card.  Water does magical things to the sprinkles of powdered color.  The different colors that show up are amazing when spritzed with water.  Water color paint was used on a stamp to add random images around the edges.  The stamped sentiment is now a favorite of mine.  I used a floral laser cut as the focal image and added a couple of buzzing bees to embellish.

May the 4th Be With You!

 Today I'm sharing my Creative Team project for the May Challenge at A Cut Above, Die Cut Challenge Blog.  May is the month that celebrates the ever popular, "Intergalatic Star Wars Day", and today is that day, so, I went with the Star Wars theme for my May card.

 

"May the 4th be with you!" 

 

STAR WARS

 

This five inch square design came together pretty quickly.  The blue metallic background is matted with black glitter cardstock adhered to a gray base.  I die cut the star from the same gray as the base.  The Star Wars with Darth Vadar focal sentiment is a cut file.  I'm pretty sure this is going to a family member that is a huge fan of the Star Wars franchise.

Here's my inspiration....

HAVE A LOVELY DAY 

I chose the teapot as the focal point on my card.  The pretty floral paper reminded me of an antique chintz design.  It sits on a doily covered metallic tray with some added foliage tucked in behind it.  I adhered a strip of semi opaque lace trim tape under the tray to act as a table runner.
