One Day at a Time, C4C141, New SU In Colors!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  It is time for another challenge with the crazies at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C141).   Silke Kittmann is back with another challenge for us all and this week.  It is time to get cooking!  It is a recipe challenge. 

The recipe is to use

3 Papers, 3 Flowers, 3 Buttons, 3 Pearls

For my card, I am using Verve's Tag Time, Making a Statement, and newly released One Day Plain Jane stamp sets.  I am also using Verve's Cut Above Tagged Rectangle and Loopy Blooms dies. The loopy blooms die was used to make the layered ink distressed and scrunched newsprint flower perched on my bow. 

For my three papers I combined some NEW SU In Color 2012/14 Raspberry Ripple!  While it is not purely pomegranate, it is close and the card stock is richer.  The designer papers are almost a dead ringer for PP to me, though.  Happy Dancing.   I combined two of  the designer series papers prints with some of SU newsprint.  I used this Life Style Craft's Trelis border die to create my background.  I saw a few cards using this technique via Pinterest this past week and thought it might work with this die.  I love how it turned out.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

For You! FTTC51, FS155, C4C21, and CC255!

It is Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC51)! It is the end of the month and time for a guest challenge designer! This week our challenge host is Pat Adam. Thanks so much hosting with us, Pat! And here is Pat's challenge written in her on words.

"For this week's challenge be inspired by the letter P. Sounds a bit crazy, but not really if you think about it for a bit. I'm thinking pink, pearls, poppies, purple, punches, and piercing. Do you get the picture? Sure you do so let's get moving and make those perfectly pretty and positively pleasing presentations. Don't think you've been challenged in this way before, so I will be excited to see how you all do." Pat

For my card I am using Flourishes Thank You and Seasonal Wreaths. I chose pearls, punch, pinks, and pindot white gel hightlighting and smudging for my P inspiration!

This card is also for SCS Feature Stamper Challenge(FS155)! Congratulations, Karen! Your gallery is gorgeous! Here is the card I CASE! I sort of fauxed all the techniques a bit. Also, instead of stamping the sentiment directly to the image, I made a sort of hang tag. It hangs off the side a bit with a layered pearl button accent. I also, put my bow to the side instead of in the middle. I sponged my background and did not do the technique like Karen did. I did do some pindot white gel highlighting and smudging around my flowers. I think the effect is different and interesting. I used different colors as well. I do love how the overall look is finished.

This card is also for today's SCS255 Color Combo Challenge! This week is all about Pretty Mambo Blossoms! This week's dessert option is RED hearts!

This card is also for C4C21 Challenge to use Pink on our cards!

You Have Been Missed! SCS CC251!

This card is for today's SCS Color Combo Challenge(CC251)! This week is all about Barely Dusty Grays! We are to use Barely Banana, Dusty Durango, and Basic Gray colors! This week's dessert option is Charming! Add a Charm of choice to your card/project!

I am using one of ODBD sets called Flourished Christian Symbols! I must say this is one of my favorite sets from ODBD. Now, I own a lot and have lots of favorites, but there is something about a solid image stamp that just works ALL of the time! I love to color images and find that process fun, but to play around with different looks with a solid image just by the colors I choose is just amazing to me. I rocked and rolled this beautiful dove. I used really rust ink(do not own the dd ink pad) and slightly touched some smokey shadow to the edges a bit. I love how it turned out. I added a tiny gold pearl eye detailing. I finished with some gold pearls, ribbon bow, flower punches with gold metallic dew drops centers, and heart charm! I really love this color combo today, too! I admit that the dd is growing on me a bit!
