Paper Players #69 {Shabby Birthday}

Sunday already! Wow! This week at the Paper Players, the lovely Nance has challenged us with a gorgeous sketch!  Her sketch had me inspired right away and I decided to continue with the shabby, vintage style I have been exploring.  I made THIS CARD yesterday in the shabby vintage style too.

Pool Party is one of the new "In Colours" from Stampin' Up and I thought it would like pretty on my roses from "Elements of Style".  So I inked them up with my Pool Party Marker. Then I inked the leaves in another new In Colour called "Lucky Limeade".  The Designer Paper is from the In Colour Designer Paper Pack.  I inked the edges with my Soft Suede ink and a sponge.  For some reason, I am really loving butterflies and so out came the Beautiful Wings embosslit die again.  I added some pearls as accents.

We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

Cardabilities #41 {Vintage Note}

I have been in a crafting mood lately, and I have been trying to find new challenge blogs to play!  Well, I found a new one...new to me that is!  What a great sketch this week.  The challenge is called Cardabilities and here is their sketch! 

Tonight I wanted to create something vintage and warm. I used some new Bo Bunny paper and I got out my Copics to colour the floral image from Stampendous. The butterflies are from my embosslit die called "Beautiful Wings" from Stampin' Up and I added some pearls to the butterflies.  I don't know why I used black but it seemed to bring out the richness of the paper. I hope you think so too!  I sponged all the edges with some Crumb Cake Ink.

Freshly Made Sketches #6 and Inkspirations Colour Challenge #20

Wednesday is here and that means it is time for another challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!  I decided to ink up the Summer Solstice set for this card and wanted to play along with the pretty colour challenge over at Inkspirations. 

Aren't these colours so pretty! Love them together!!!!  The colours really informed me how to make my card this week!!!  Here is my card created with these two challenges.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you get the chance to play along with both challenges this week!
