GDP438 Thinking Of You

 

I am playing with the sketch challenge this week over at global-design-project.com. I really want to play with Lost Lagoon and use some of my ribbon so I pulled out this lovely DSP called Poetic Expressions. I have a Lost Lagoon base and a layer of white card plus two layers of the DSP. I cut the Stitched Rectangle die in white and stamped the image from the Everyday Details set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink then colored with my Stampin Blends markers in Light Lost Lagoon, Light Daffodil Delight, Light Pretty Peacock, Light and Dark Moody Mauve, and Light Petal Pink. I stamped the sentiment on a white Double Oval punch from the Botanical Layers set in Lost Lagoon ink. I added the Lost Lagoon 1/4" bordered ribbon around with tie. I finished off with some Pretty Peacock dots. 

Hope you have a beautiful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Excellent Egg Easter!

 

One last cute Easter card! I used the Excellent Eggs set and dies along with the Lighter Than Air DSP. I have Fresh Freesia base and a later of white card stock than the DSP. I cut a Fresh Freesia egg with the dies and stamped another smaller one in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock, cut it out and colored with my Stampin Blends markers in Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, and Soft Sea Foam. I added some rhinestones on the egg for a little bling. I stamped the bunny in same black ink on white card stock and cut it out after coloring in SU500. I stamped the sentiment on a white die from the Everyday Details dies in Fresh Freesia ink. 

Hope you have a beautiful Easter this Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Sending Sunshine

 

Had to make more than one card while playing around with the Beach Day bundle from the spring mini catty! I have a Azure Afternoon base and a layer of white card stock which I used a clear block D inked with Pool party and Crumb Cake inks and then spritzed with water then stamped on. I then stamped the lifeguard station plus the surf board and ball in Pecan Pie ink on a piece of white card stock. I colored them with inks and my water color brush and cut out with the Beach Day dies. I also cut out the tree in Pecan Pie and Garden Green card stocks. 

Hope you have a fun day and thanks for stopping by!

My first play with the Beach Day bundle in the spring mini catty! Thinking this will be one of my cards for classes in April.  I have a Azure Afternoon base and a piece of white card stock which I layered on after I added Pool Party and Crumb Cake inks with my blending brushes. They are darker in real life. I stamped the sand and castle plus the sentiment and birds on the background in Pecan pie ink. I then stamped with the same color the lifeguard stand, surf board and ball on white card stock and cut them out after coloring with my Stampin Blends markers. I also cut from the dies the grass and palms in Granny Apple Green card stock and the tree trunk in Pecan Pie.

Easter Bunny Times Two

 

I made these Easter cards for my daughter and a friend and sent them out this week! I have a white base and I added a piece of Softly Stippled DSP which was part of the SAB freebies last month. You might not see the sheer Pool Party ribbon I added behind the circle but it gives more texture. I cut the white circle with the Everyday Details dies and added some Pool party ink on with my blending brush. I stamped the grass from the Easter Bunny set in Granny Apple Green ink and the butterfly in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a little yellow with my blend marker in Lemon Lolly. I then stamped the eggs and bunny on a piece of white card stock and hand snipped them out. I colored them with my Stampin Blends markers in SU500, light granny apple Green, light Lemon Lolly, light Pool Party, light Cajun Craze(for carrot) and light Bubble Bath. I added some Pool Party gems to finish it off. 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Today, I am playing along with Joanne's clean and simple good luck challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week. I pulled the sentiment Wishing You the Very Best from the Friends Are Like Seashells set for the good luck part and stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a strip of Fresh Freesia. I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock scored as a Z fold base. I added the white piece of card stock inside. I then cut the two stitched dies with the Thoughtful Expressions dies and popped my images stamped with the matching stamp set in memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin Blends markers in dark and light Highland Heather, light Granny Apple Green, light Wild wheat and light Fresh Freesia then cut with the matching dies.
