Just Us Girls #828 - Mood Board Week

Denise has chosen a colorful mood board for Just Us Girls this week.


I love flowers and have so many stamps and dies that it would be difficult to choose just one so I did a technique that includes several.


This is the Blackout technique on Altenew's Lush Garden embossing folder.  The flowers were colored on the debossed (indented) side of the panel and black ink swiped across to cover the background.  I did see black in the background on the mood board. ;)  The sentiment is a BetterPress from SB.

If you have flower stamps and/or dies, and who doesn't, I hope you'll enter our challenge this week.  The Design Team and our guest Kellianne have outdone themselves with beautiful inspiration.

The Paper Players #790

I was honored with a win at The Paper Players last week with this card and I'm here to play in this week's challenge.  Christy's colors were perfect for my Tropical Friends from Spellbinders.  We only needed to use three of the four colors but they all worked. 


He's on a panel cut with MFT's Wonky Stitched Rectangles and the sentiment is from BetterPress. 

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

Krafty Chicks #824

I am way behind on my Christmas cards and was playing around with a die set from Concord and 9th the other day.  Then I remembered that this is the week Krafty Chicks has their Christmas challenge so I'm sending my card to their gallery.


The die is called Poinsettia Quilt Top.  It's cut from three papers from a paper pack by Craft Consortium. The joy die is part of the set.

Freshly Made Sketches #740

My good friend Michele has a scene sketch over at Freshly Make Sketches so I made a scene - on my card. LOL


Before I could make a scene I had to decide what the focal point would be.  The Spellbinders Country Snowman caught my attention and that meant a snowy scene made with Gina K Masking Magic and Altenew inks.  I had planned to make a lot of Christmas cards while at the lake.  Would you believe I forgot to bring a single Christmas sentiment stamp?  I will have to add one to the card later.
