Divas Coffee Break Design #139

Happy Hump Day!!!  Can you believe it's already Wednesday?!!!  We're leaving tomorrow for Midland, TX--for the Little League Regional Tournament!!  If the boys win this one, they'll be off to the Little League World Series!!!  Woohoo!!!  Wish them luck!!!

Wednesday is always the day for the Divas' Challenge!!  This week was a sketch challenge!!

Wow--I just realized that I've used the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Paper everyday this week!!!  Yikes!!  Maybe I should put that away!! haha!!!

For this card, I used the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  I stamped it onto the thick window sheets with Black Stazon.  Then, I covered the backside with Crystal Effects, then poured on the Glitter!!   It's very stunning in real life!!  So sparkly!!!

Here's a close up:

Enjoy your Wednesday!!!  And, be sure and check back all weekend--I have posts scheduled while I'm away!!!

Hugs,

Cupcake Challenge!!

Hi!!  Are you tired of all my challenge cards yet?!!  I'm sorry--they are what gets my creativity going!!  I hope you're enjoying the cards anyway!!

Here's one for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #76:

I absolutely love this card!!!  It turned out so much better than I had planned!! haha!!!  I used the Autumn Days Stamp Set--it's sooooo pretty!!  I stamped with Black Stazon, then watercolored using my aquapainters and classic ink pads.  I used Soft Suede and Always Artichoke.  Then, to add a little interest, I also watercolored over the sentiment (from Teeny Tiny Wishes).  The designer paper is Autumn Traditions.  Oh--the paper I stamped on is the watercolor paper.  I love this paper--it allows even me to "paint" like an artist!!!

Enjoy!!  I'm off to go shopping--need some new shoes--the puppies ate my favorite flip flops!!

Hugs,

Sketchy Saturday #41

Happy Saturday to you all!!!  Just a quick post this morning to share my creation for the UDI Sketchy Saturday Challenge!!

Do you recognize this combination?  Yep, Soft Suede and Bermuda Bay!!!  Love it!!  Honestly, what happens is this--I sit down to do some stamping (working on several sketch challenges), and I pull out certain things.  Instead of changing colors for each card, I just use the same things I already have out!!  Unless it's not working--BUT, this color combo is awesome!!!  So, I used it alot!! haha!!

Cardstock:  Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White & Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper

Ink:  Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede

Misc:  Modern Label Punch, 1 1/4", 1 3/8" & 1 3/4" Circle Punches;  Soft Suede Grosgrain Ribbon

Have a great day!!!
