The Flower Challenge Sketch #7


I love the color combination of black and white and this check piece of paper went well with the zig colored flowers. This card is being submitted to The Flower Challenge which is using this sketch. I like this kind of sketch where a stamped image is the focal point and yet the card is still CAS.


Supplies:
MFT pierced circle die
Lawn Fawn Flutter By stamp set
watercolor paper, snippet, Michaels
VerrsaFine ink, Zigs, embossing powder

Darnell's NBUS Challenge #11


I am going to call this stamp the poor little butterfly. This is a NBUS stamp for me but prior to my acquiring it someone had the audacity to use it with paint and as such I bought it in poor shape. I am ready to participate in my card group's garage sale and plb was in the sell box. Today I looked at the stamp and thought I would give it a try, so I used VersaMark and no luck, so I tried VersaFine and embossing powder. PLB looked okay so I decided to sponge and mask it as I will be teaching such a class next week. I used distress inks and distress markers to color and stamped and embossed the sentiment. Then I added water droplets and wink of stella. After I trimmed the front panel I attached the blue paper mat and then glued to the base card. Chapter two of the PLBS - a card maker friend is challenging our group to submit a card using the tic-tac-toe layout for our garage sale. This card would work except for ribbon so in my I never use stash of ribbon I found white organza and tied the delicate bow. I like the card and decided I would deliver it  next week when I attend a memorial for a friend. The end.

Supplies:
Paper - Neenah, Kelly

Darnell's NBUS Challenge #11


This NBUS stamp is from Penny Black, and it is one of several adorable critters. This card will go to grandson #1 who is ten and the inside says "to one of my favorite peeps." This was pretty simple stamping and coloring with copics and then die cutting it and the designer paper. The two pieces were attached to the base card. That is it.

Coming April 1-11, 2017

Supplies:
Stamp - Penny Black "Garden Friends"
Paper - Gina K, Neenah
Die - Lil Inkers
