VLV Week 1 August Sketch! Great sketch, Amber! For my card I am using Verve's New Mercies and Words Cannot Express stamp sets.  I stamped the large leafy image onto the black cardstock with versamark and clear embossed for a shiny patterned background.  I added some text, torn oval beaded frames, and black embossed the focal sentiment.  I finished with some dyed seam binding and oval cameo bracelet finding that adds just a touch of blue!  In keeping with the oval them, I topped off my bow with an oval button!

 I am playing along with a few other blog challenges!

Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge (SNTODBD20), MOJO, ACT51, and MORE!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge (SNTODBD20)! ODBD would like to thank Chris Dickinson for hosting the last rotations ODBD challenge.    The assignment is Our Daily Bread Design stamps. The challenge is to use embossing powders.  Embossing powders have become more sophisticated over the years. We have regular embossing powders, super fine powders, and tinsels powders to name a few styles not to mention all the fabulous color choices. Pick your color and your style. Be sure to tell us which embossing powder style you chose!  We would love to see what you create using Our Daily Bread Design stamps!

I am using the sketch from Monday's MOJO160!  Great sketch as always, Julee!  I did make mine a 5.5 square design.  I am also using the colors from Stacey's Curtain Call Challenge Act 51.   Beautiful colors, Stacey!  One can never go wrong with Marine Mist!

I am using ODBD Scripture Collection 1!  I embossed the scripture from Ecclesiates in black regular embossing powder.  I added some sewing stitches, embossing folders, sponging, and various embellies to complete my card and colors choices.

Thank You!

I SPY PTI!  My new goodies came in the mail yesterday and I finally had a chance to play with them!  After three week's in England my dh is finally home!  WooHoo!  So glad!  It was a very long three weeks for us all.   This is for SCS Feature Stamper(FS185) and SCS Queen for the Day(QFTD23) Challenges.  Heather, aka, Princessheather is honored not only with the QFTD but also Feature Stamper this week.  This is her card I chose to CASE. 

Since the colors Heather used on her card are very similar to the Colour Q #46 this week, I thought I would play along in that color challenge!

I decided to combine a few blog challenges with this project.  That alone has become a challenge in itself.  To surf thru the blogs and pick different challenges and try to combine as many as I can on a card.  LOL! 

TPE80 ribbon and sparkles.  The card uses glitter gel pen on the center of the flowers and the little treat tote uses gem flourishes.  The gift tote also complies with City Crafter Challenge(CCCB18) a girl on a card.  My silhouette of a girl reading  is tiny, but it is a girl!   This is also for Simon Says Challenge to make a gift, Stampin B's Challenge #72  to use a diecut, circle, and a flower. My diecut is the scalloped rectangle and sentiment, my circles are the buttons and polka dotted ribbon, and the fowers are the main image.  For Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 73 to Two's Better Than One, I created a card and gift ensemble and used two different focal image stamps!    

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC79), CC283, TSTR22, and Kids at Play!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC79)! This week Cindy Haffner is hosting. She is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much of an explanation necessary. You can turn it and modify the shapes to fit your size card, but in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!! We cannot wait to see what you create with it!

This card is also for SCS Color Combo Challenge(CC283)!  This week it is all about Baja Poppy Cakes!  The dessert option you must read to believe!  LOL!  Check out the link to play along with  us!

This card is also for The Shabby Tea Rooms Inspiration Challenge(TSTR22)!  Since my top card is all about color, I decided to play off of the mirror and lighted candle effect.  I totally went over the top with my bling!  I heart my card, though.  A bit different for me, but totally shabby chic funky!  LOL!  This card is also for this week's Pile It On Challenge(PITC31)!  "Little Bit Country...Little Bit Rock and Roll!"  I am totally flying rock and roll with this look. The sentiment reminds me of the song "Listen to Your Heart" by DHT...one hit wonder, but I still heart the song! It also complies with Simon Says Challenge!  Sing It!  Since I used a heart it is also for City Crafter Challenge Blog CCCB Week 17!

For my card I am using Flourishes Lace Heart and Beauty Within stamp sets!  I am using Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock, gingham ribbon, and Memento lady bug and rhubarb inks.  I am also playing Flourishes release challenge Kids at Play (FLLCAUG10)!  I layered various textures and bling detailing.  I stamped my lace heart, used crystal effects, then added some more flourished bling.  My sentiment may me think of playing Hide and Go Seek game because you have to listen with your heart.  It is so quiet and dark.  Then, after my card was complete, with the blue flourished bling coming from the peak of the heart, it made me think of a kite.  So, that is another fun kid's game.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC77) and CC281!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC77)! It is the end of the month so we have a challenge host. This month's host is Emily Keaton. Emily is challenging us to use Pins! All kinds of pins will do. Think stick pins, hat pins, safety pins, straight pins, diaper pins, even mini clothes pins or a brooch-style pin. We would love to see what you create!

This card is also for SCS Color Combo Challenge (CC281)!  It is all about Crushed Daffodil Pizzazz!   For my card I am using Flourishes Coffee with Friends stamp set.  I focused on one of the quotes in the set and used a coffee cup die cuts as little accent charms.  I stamped these using versamark and one of the steaming images that come in the set.  I  added a little flower punch with tiny gold pearl to one.  I created a sort of layered awning with my large scallop die cut and some designer papers, ribbons, pearls...etc!
