CCTC - Sweet Peas

Hello there!  The card I have for today was created using the colors from the Color Trends Challenge, part of the challenge was to not only use the colors below but use them in your coloring.  I used Copic markers to color in this sweet pea image.  I've had the PTI Year of Flowers stamp set for a few weeks now and have wanted to use it to create a card, so when I looked out my kitchen window today I saw my sweet peas blooming and was inspired to use this image along with the colors from the challenge.


These rambling hot pink sweet peas are growing next to a honeysuckle vine on one side and a fir tree on another and it's attached it self to both.
Supplies: Year of Flowers, Garden Variety + die, Tiny Tags + die - PTI, Copics, Ribbon, Medium Scallop Border die - TE, Foam tape, Linen thread.

CPS127/PDCC93 - Celebrate Your Day!

Good Monday morning to you and thanks for popping in!  Today I have a card that I created using two challenges, I used the sketch from the Card Patterns Sketch Challenge #127 and the bright cheerful colors from The Playdate Cafe Challenge #93.  I had so much fun creating this card, maybe it was the colors I'm not sure but it was just one of those cards that came together easily. 

I used the PTI stamp set Signature Greetings for my sentiment, PTI flower dies with the Sending You stamp set and button centers, an SU sizzlet butterfly, some crazy stitching on the My Mind's Eye designer paper, circle Nesties and what I thought looked cool...herringbone embossing on the leaves that I die cut from the Sending You dies.

SSSC129/CR84FN35 - Thank You for Your Kindness

Hello everyone!  It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #129.  Karen has a fun sketch for all of us this week using a longer shaped card and we hope you'll be able to play along!

The card I have for today is not only for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge but also for the CR84FN35 Color Challenge.  I used the PTI stamp sets Tea for Two, Iconic Images and Tiny Tags.  The base of my card was cut to 7"x 4" so that my card would fit into a standard letter sized envelope.  For the main image I stamped my thank you sentiment in basic grey, die cut my teapot from SU designer paper and stamped the teapot image.  Then I added foam tape to the back of the die cut teapot adhered it just above my sentiment and added leaves, a flower and pearl to the front.


To play along create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then go to Karen’s blog The Sweetest Thing and link your card so we can all see your creation!
