Card Challenge (And Learn About My New Fave) AND... Winner Announced For Prize Giveaway

Hey everyone....hope you are all enjoying your Wednesday. It's been quiet the busy week for me. I have had lots of errands to take care of, and so, have been out and about, BUT... I did find the time to make a new friend and catch up with old ones.

One thing that we crafty girls like to do is card challenges. We played along with a few of them.

Check it out...

For this card I played along with CAS(E) This Sketch and for the first time Fusion Card Challenge. I am loving how Fusion Card Challenge works too. (You can either use the sketch or the color combo or both).

I bought some new bright colored pens from Michael's the other day and loved how perfectly they went with the color scheme of the the Fusion Challenge and then decided to pair it with CAS(E) This sketch. 

Next up I again used the Fusion Card challenge but decided to go with both color scheme and sketch. I really loved the yellow flower and wanted to really accent that color.

And finally for my third card ;) I added in Retro Sketches but still kept the Fusion color scheme...and well I actually think I hit their sketch as well...in a way! I am seeing do you????  :)....yep they may be my new fave challenge blog!

For all the card sentiments I used Sweet Stamp Shop stamps.

Shine On

I went a little green crazy this time, but, green is my favorite color so I was more than happy to go a little overboard.  But here is my inspiration for my card Challenge: Retro Sketches and Simon Says Stamp "Bit O Green"

Here is my take on this

Look at all that green. I didn't really have a plan for much, all I knew is I had to use that super cute rainbow stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop. I tried a few different things...well...actually a lot of different things...lol but I was determined to make that rainbow work for me and after cutting and arranging and rearranging different papers and "stuff" I FINALLY had the perfect backdrop for my rainbow.

This was so fun to glitter and then I added white flower soft to the clouds, it was the perfect touch to finish the rainbow off. Then, to add some extra pop I added some yellow. It is so complimentary to the greens but adds a nice little something something.

So go ahead shine on!!!

Challenge Time

My friend Nicole and I got to together the other morning to do another fun card challenge...And once again still LOVIN it! And this one, I am pretty excited about, not only did I love what I made but the sponsor for this challenge is SRM and who ever wins gets a prize package from SRM!!!!! EEKK pressure is on, plus, I could always use some SRM  :)

So let's get to the card...

This is what we drew our inspiration from: The Play Date Cafe:

I was instantly in love with the color scheme. The bold tangerine with the apricot and mint, so clean and crisp with the vintage appeal. TOTALLY up my alley.

The first card I was trying to make was pretty much a fail, but, once I re-schemed, it instantly came together.

Here is what I came up with:

 I used the Heidi Swapp color shine in Apricot for the background on the white. SUCH a perfect pop.

Now a bit closer to see the fun details :)

 I embossed a SWEET stamp for the sentiment

Then added layers of ribbons, buttons and flowers! TA-DAA a beautiful masterpiece was created (at least in my opinion lol)

Hope you enjoyed the latest challenge.

XOXO

Card Challenge Amazingness....

So, as most of you know,blogging in pretty new to me, BUT my friend Nicole (you may know her from Sweet Stamp Shop) is a PRO. We decided to get together for a fun craft night in her super amazing craft room (so jealous lol) and she introduced me for the first time to CARD CHALLENGES! Let me tell you what, I think I am hooked. What a great way to get inspirtion and challenge yourself to design and create.

Our first challenge of the night was from CASE STUDY


And this was our inspiration, designed by Teri Anderson

 

I Loved the color scheme ,but I also love the the circle grid on top so I decided to play with those two ideas and this is what I came up  with

 





SO, thanks to all the wonderful supplies Nicole had, I created this masterpiece. I am really loving it!Some of my favorite things to work with are wood pieces and the hello heart totally finished it off. It has layers, dimension and most importantly naturalness :)

Up next was our "White On White" challenge from Simon Says Stamps

I really loved the challenge of making something only using white, and since there are, ironically, so many shades of white out there there is really endless possibilities.

This is what I ended up with and I couldn't be happier with it.

 

I again used some wood pieces, the hearts are from Freckled Fawn, stumbled up a fun little technique by accident. Since this challenge was an all white challenge i needed my wood pieced to be white, so, I used some white re-inker and when I went to pick it up I dropped it upside down...ooops...but that led to the fun heart background that you see in the picture. In a nutshell, I used the heart as a stamp!!!



 

OOO I felt so clever and it was the perfect texture that this white challenge needed!

 

Now go get crafty!!!

 

XOXOX
