Happy Saturday! I have a couple of cards to share today. For my first card I am playing along with The Color Throwdown, The Friday Mashup (sketch), and The Card Concept (inspiration).
I just love The Card Concept's inspiration photo. The colors
work perfectly with this week's Color Throwdown trio. I started with MFT Stamps smooth white and berrylicious card stock. I stamped the front of the base with berrylicious ink using Striped background. I die cut berrylicious with stitched rounded rectangle stax. I stamped this panel with Swiss Dot background stamp using Sweet Tooth pigment ink.

Next, I die cut a pierced Traditional Tag Stax die namics in smooth white. I masked off a portion of the sentiment from True Friends stamp set. I stamped it going down the side of the tag in hybrid black licorice ink. Then, I die cut the the tulips from Spring Tulip die namics and stamped the coordinating image from Spring Tulip stamp set using hybrid black licorice ink. I colored with copics. To comply with the sketch, I added a loose thread bow and let the threads wrap and hang loosely around the tag. I used the tiny clothespin to clip it to the tag. I finished the front with a few clear sequins.
For my second card, I am playing along with
The ColourQ,
MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge, and Just Us Girls.
I started with MFT smooth white and sour apple card stocks. I die cut the sour apple panel with Blueprints 20. I embossed with Chevron Cover Up. I added some versamark to edges and front for some added depth of color.
Next, I die cut a tag from Blueprints Tag Builder 1. I stamped a sentiment from Whimsical Wishes in hybrid black licorice ink. I die cut the image from You Gnome Me die namics and stamped with coordinating image from You Gnome Me stamp set in hybrid black licorice. I colored with copics to comply with color challenge. I used some pop dots to add to the tag. I used some pink/white twine to tie a bow and add element to comply with sketch. I finished with a few clear sequins.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
