Double D Challenge - Pretty in Pink

Double D has a Pretty in Pink challenge and I wanted to play with some new products and used their challenge as inspiration. 

It started with Pinkfresh Studio's Beautiful Branch, stamped in light gray ink and stenciled with Gina K Light Carnation, adding it darker in the center.  Altenew Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades colored the leaves. I cut a panel with PFS Blanket Stitch Ovals but wanted to pop it up so a piece of cardstock was folded to make the mechanism.  To frame it all, pink cardstock was embossed with SSS Flower Frame.  The sentiment is a BetterPress.

Just Us Girls #842 - Stencil Week

Your favorite Stencil Week is back at Just Us Girls and it's Anything Goes hosted by Sue.

I would like to thank Julia Aston for all the wonderful cards she created to inspire our followers this month. 

I gold heat embossed the Lovely Camellias set from Altenew and stenciled with their Spring Bouquet inks.  The trimmed navy panel was embossed with Altenew's Dotty Circles and a gold embossed sentiment from their One-Go Birthday was added. 

Now it's your turn.  Which stencil will you choose to use to make a card for our challenge?  We'd love to see yours in our gallery.

Color Hues #141

It's so much easier to use most of my stamps when Color Hues has green in the mix.  This challenge has Sheri's choice of purple and artichoke. 

I've been watching Jennifer McGuire videos and loving the ideas she has for making cards with a twist. I made a Zfold card with a flower overhang.  The stenciled flowers are Amazing Things from Pinkfresh Studio, colored with Altenew inks.  The embossing is the Sparkling Facets folder from SSS and the sentiment is a BetterPress.

Krafty Chicks #838

Time is running out on the Krafty Chicks challenge and because my card for their last challenge received a shout out I feel compelled to enter this week's CAS challenge.  I was making a card yesterday for fun and think it works.

There are varying opinions on what makes a CAS card so I hope my Burlap embossed background from Honey Bee is okay with the Chicks.  The little trees are from SSS, cut from a paper pack from Craft Consortium.  The mantel is from Simon Hurley's Mantle Decorations and the white heat embossed sentiment is Hero Arts. 

Thank you for spending a bit of your day with me again.  I appreciate it.

The Paper Players #804 and CAS Christmas 9.26

It's a clean and simple challenge at The Paper Players this week with the theme "Bears".  

This bear is from Spellbinders Festive Friends.  He's dressed in a winter sweater made from a Honey Bee's Make It Merry paper pack.  The lights were already made in the folder with Glossy Accents on them.  The sentiment is from PFS.  

I thought about making him a brown bear but resisted.  Then I realized I didn't have anything to use for the CAS Christmas Challenge and a brown bear would have worked.  A little research told me that there are white woodland bears called Kermode, a subspecies of the black bear so off this goes to CAS Christmas.
