Color Hues #130

Today's card is for the Color Hues challenge of Fuchsia and Navy.  I didn't want to do my usual florals so it took a while to come up with something.


The Spellbinders Gorgeous You Perfume Bottle was part of a class I took a while ago but I can't remember what class or when it was.  I evidently didn't make a card with the die set because I searched my blog and couldn't find anything. The bottle was cut in C9 Dragon fruit and embossed with Altenew's Crystal Wall. Gina K's In the Navy was used for the sentiment frame and background that was embossed with SB Cross My Heart.  It was necessary to use double sided tape to keep the bottle stuck to the background with all that embossing.  A sentiment from the set was heat embossed in gold to go with the ribbon.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Freshly Made Sketches #731

Even though Donna's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches had color, I went with a black and white theme.


The little white panels are from a SU set that was gifted to me.  I brought out some older silhouettes to stamp on them - three from Technique Tuesday, two from Catherine Pooler and one from My Favorite Things.  The heat embossed sentiment is from The Ton.

Inkspirational #364

I'm slipping in under the wire for the Inkspirational challenge.  They want a clean and simple card and those are fun and easy to make.  

The stenciled daisies are from PFS Beautiful Blooms and they are sitting on Altenew's Ornate Nesting Die.  The sentiment is also from Altenew - their One-Go Birthday Greetings.  I resisted any embossing to keep it CAS.

Just Us Girls # 818 - Word Week

Are you ready for this?  Ina has a word and technique for this next challenge at Just Us Girls.


I saw a card on Pinterest with no name attached so I can't give credit but I was inspired by that card.


I liked that the card was sliced in half rather than a circle or square cut around the image.  I used an older stamp from C9 called Hello Lovely and colored it with Zigs. I went searching for a long enough sentiment to fill the black cardstock strip that conects the two parts (yes I cut it in half rather than mask it off) and found this one from Hero Arts.

I can't wait to see how you are inspired to create a spotlight card.  I hope you'll join me along with our guest and the rest of the Design Team for this fun challenge.
