Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge!

Happy Tuesday! It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC120)!  Cindy is the challenge host this week.  Cindy is challenging us to a color combo.  We are using cranberry, caramel, dark gray or brown.  These are wonderful colors with lots of possibilities.  We would love to see what you create!  

For my card I am using Flourishes Thank You and Country Charm Labels sets.  Flourishes Thank You set is one of my first Flourishes sets and is still one of my favorites.  I just love this tulip image and the script stamp background.  I am using Flourishes Classic ivory cardstock.  I colored my image with Flourishes Copic Color Collections.  I stenciled inside the oval die with Ranger antique linen.  I used one of the pennant strips from Nested Lacey Pennants for the sentiment tag.  I am using the sketch from Your Next Stamp Challenge!

Stamping In Time: On Assignment (SNTODBD6)!

  

It is time for Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD6)!  This week's challenge is all about Monochromatic cards!  Choose a color of choice with any neutrals and go for it!  Check out the ODBD SNT blog link to find out how to play along!



I am using ODBD I am the Way... stamp set. I just love this lily that comes in this wonderful Easter set.  Along with some wonderful Easter sentiments are scriptures.  There is also another smaller flower in the set, too.  I am using SEI designer papers.  I combined this wonderful textured paper with the Spellbinders Lattice Pendant and Nestabilities Label Twelve.  I colored my lily with copics.  I added a layered sheer ribbon border and sheer bow with a layered buttons and pearl accent.  I finished my card with touches of pearls in the layered corners.  Also, this card is for this week's ODBD Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC6)...to think Spring! I think my soft lime green card is definitely screaming Spring!   

I am wanting to know if anyone would like to host a Stamping In Time challenge and make a sample to be featured at the ODBD blog post along with me.  All interested people, please let me know via pm at SCS!  Thanks so much!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC40)!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC40)! This week Kimberly Crawford is our challenge host! Kimberly is challenging us to a limited supplies challenge! Our challenge is to combine a colored image, texture or textures, and any shades of neutrals we want. You can pack on the layers and textures just make sure you include an image to color and use only neutral cardstock. Just so you know you can us any combination of whites, creams, blacks, browns, and grays! So make your cards pop with texture and a beautifully colored image! We cannot wait to see what you create!

I created a pendant tag for my card. I also stayed with the neutrals for the cardstock colors, but chose to give pop with my color image and accessories! I am using Drummer Boy and Christmas Music stamp sets! I am using Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock. I literally use this cardstock all the time regardless if I am coloring something or not. It has a wonderful weight and hand to it! Just takes inks beautifully and embossing magnificently! I colored my images with Flourishes Copic Color Collection.

I laughed a bit while making this card because when the Spellbinder pendant dies(lattice pendant) came out I really thought that those were something I did not have to have. Well, I kept saying.... "Cindy made me do it"! Hee Hee!!! Cindy Haffner, one of my blog team friends, just makes the most beautiful cards and sports the details like no bodies business. So, when she started using some of the pendant die cuts I went...oh, dear!!!

Nuff said!!! I was hooked! So, here is my first attempt using one since my package just arrived today! I do have a suggestion when working with these intricate die cuts, though. While using a piercing tool does help a bit, I found that using my embossing buddy helped a lot. Now, it may make your cardstock chalky, but you can always go over that with like ink.

Please check out the other blog team designer's cards to see what they created with the limited challenge for you this week.
