Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

I was so inspired by the design team samples over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Blog that I had to play! I decided to keep my card simple using the Fifth Avenue Florals set and the DSP from the Good Neighbours and Sweet Pea Packs. I actually used all scraps on this card. I cut out the circle with my Circle Scissors Plus and then used the Circle Scallops #2 Die in my Big Shot. I also completed the inside of the card using my Curvy Verse set. I used Melon Mambo and Old Olive as my colours. I smudged the top righthand side of the inside of the card with my thumb! Don't you hate that when that happens!!!

Stampin' 411 Sketch Challenge

For the past few weeks I have missed the deadline for the Stampin' 411 Challenge and so tonight I was determined to make a card for it! I wanted to try to stretch myself and to really use the "Charming" set in an interesting way. So I decided to make a flower! The sentiment is from the SAB set Vintage Labels and the flower stem is from Fifth Avenue Florals. I tried to tie a bow to the ribbon but it just didn't look right, so I kept the ribbon fairly simple. I did use 2 ribbons...the Vanilla Satin layered on top of the wider retired Chocolate Satin Ribbon . I used Really Rust, Chocolate Chip and Always Artichoke as my colours.

Colour Throwdown #86

This card was made for the current Colour Throwdown Challenge to use Yoyo Yellow, Garden Green and Suede. I subbed in Kraft for Suede. I used my new favourite set and went for a minimalist card in Very Vanilla. I used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the flower directly on the stamp. The words are stamped in Sahara. The sentiment is stamped in Stazon.
