Honeycomb Hello

I can't believe it, but there is absolutely NO stamping involved in todays card!  So rare when that happens for me :)

I die cut a few sheets of patterned paper from the same die then inlaid them back into place.  Popped up the sentiment from a coordinating embellishment back, and viola!

Thanks for stopping by,

Angie

Spunky Sprite Says Hi!

Hi everyone!  I'm just popping in with a super quick post with a card for the April sketch challenge at Some Odd Girl.  Here's the sketch:

Here's my take on it:

And here's a little closeup on the adorable Spunky Sprite with her pearly wings...

Gorjuss Hello

I got home from work today and decided to put that watercolor background from yesterday to use for the Playdate Cafe.  I had a plan but once I got started, I changed my mind :)  I opted to water color with Distress Inks and came up with this lovely:

I used the colors from the PDC cchallenge -

And since I used such dark card stock, I actually took the time to do the inside (I often neglect to do this then when I go to use it, I always wish I had the inside done!). 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Gnome

I got the Forest Whimsy set from Paper Smooches back before Christmas and never inked it up... until today.  Here's the card I came up with:

I used the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge image for color inspiration and the stripes, but also for the outdoorsy theme (gnome, grass, background is wood grain). I colored in his beard and face and paper pieced his clothes with some striped paper.

Here's a  close up of the paper piece, coloring, and sparkly clouds:

SOG Recipe + CPS = Greatness

 I wanted to play along with Some Odd Girl's Recipe Challenge and decided to use this weeks CPS sketch to creat this card -

(Sorry the pic is a little dark.  One of my lamps is acting up.)

 I love these SOG girls.  And I really like Gwen since she's a curly haired one, like me :D  This one is actually from a Christmas set, which happens to be on my desk since I'm supposed to be working on my Christmas cards!  This is probably one of my favoite pattern paper packs.  I love the colors together and I always like the outcome.  The recipe called for two pattern papers, a colored base, buttons, and a punch/die cut.  I threw in a third pattern because, well, the sketch didn't look right with just the two, and since my paper was double sided, I flipped one over and it was perfect!

 

I used a scallop punch on the striped pattern just about the embossed sentiment.  Found three red buttons out of my stash and sewed them on with some Cappuccino twine from the Twinery.   And to make each pattern pop a little more, I inked all of the edges with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink before adhering them all.  

Since I had some scraps left, I went ahead and decorated the inside.  I haven't found the right stamp for the inside yet, but it's ready when I finally find one.  

Have a good Monday!
