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.

The Paper Players #780

It can be challenging when a challenge comes along that has the same theme for a card you made earlier and you don't want to use the same products again.  That's how it was for Leanne's theme of April Showers at The Paper Players when I had already used my boots and umbrella dies.  They call it a challenge for a reason and it took me two days to think of something but I persevered and this is what I came up with.

I started with an MFT rain stencil and Frostbite paste from Simon Hurley on PTI Spring Rain cardstock.  While that was drying I cut from flowers from the Garden Party set from Spellbinders birthday kit and some grass from Gina Marie.  The sentiment is from Stampendous cut with a PFS label die.  For a finishing touch, I added Glossy Accent raindrops to the flowers.
