Cardabilities #55 {Hello}

May 15th is here and that means a brand new sketch over at Cardabilities!  I loved the sketch and decided to take a clean approach to it!  I used my new but retiring "Triple Treat Flower" stamp. Love using it, wish I had bought it at the beginning of the last catalogue! What was I waiting for?

For my colours I went with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive, using some Summer Smooches Designer Paper. The leaves are created using my Bird Punch and the sentiment comes from the Sale-A-Bration set called "Elementary Elegance". I completed the look with the embossed, dots background.  

I hope you get the chance to join us over at Cardabilities , the challenge is on for the next two weeks!

Paper Players #94 {Celebrate Today Mom} and Stamping 411

Here's the Pinterest Link 

And here's the original Photo Source 

Sunday is here and so is another fun challenge from the Paper Players. This week Nance is our hostess, she is looking for a card for mom using this awesome photo for inspiration from Pinterest! I was immediately inspired by the colours and the flags on the cupcakes.   I turned my ribbon into little flags shooting out from the flower. I also loved the sketch over at Stamping 411, and used that for my card but flipped the sketch.  

At the bottom of my card, where I stamped the sentiment, I added two lines using the Big Shot and the Textured Impressions embossing folder.  I also cut the bottom of that panel with the matching die cut called "Edgelits Adorning Accents". This was my first time using these! How fun!!!

Here is my card, made for mom! I think she will like it! I have made a couple other mom cards too...LOL! I think I will see if anyone at work needs one!
