I Wheelie Like You

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by!  It's Sunday and you know what that means, it's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.
For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Wheelie Like You with the coordinating die to create a friend card.  I also used the colors from this week's Colour Queen Challenge #302.
I started my card out with a white square card base, then added a so saffron panel that I stamped along the bottom using the Lawn Fawn stamp set Argyle Backdrops and the friend sentiment from Critters at the Dog Park.  Next I added my banner and popped up a square piece of tropical teal cardstock and added my stamped and die cut circle.  I used Copic markers to color my die cut/stamped images (that hamster is so darn cute) and used foam tape to pop those us too and after adding a button with bakers twine my card was complete.

Have a great day!

Best Fishes!

Good morning!  It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.
For my card, I flipped the sketch and used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Fintastic Friends to create a birthday card.  I started out with a white card base, then added a royal velvet panel which I stamped the bottom portion using the same fish in the aquarium.  Then I added a white 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" panel taping my orange banner underneath and adding my raspberry fizz sentiment banner across the bottom.  The main focus is the aquarium which I colored using Copic markers adding my die cut and colored fish with party hats from the Lawn Fawn stamp set Year Four and using some wink of stella glitter pen on the fish, party hats and seaweed.  I also used some white gel pen lines on the aquarium to indicate reflection on the glass.  After that I used foam tape to pop the whole die cut aquarium up.
 In the photo below you can see some of the glitter that was added.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us and play along with this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch.

Petite Pots

 Happy Friday, friends!  My youngest son's summer school camp came to an end yesterday so I'm happy to not have to get up and rush out the door this morning to drop him off.  Here's to having a relaxing second cup of coffee kind of morning.  
Today I'm sharing three cards that I created for two challenges, The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #255 and the CAS*ology Challenge #157 with Wings as the inspiration.  
 All three cards use the same Papertrey Ink stamp set, Petite Pots (which is a set that can only be purchased using PTI reward points) and the same colors, the only thing different on each card is the design and sentiment on the tags.  
I started out with a white card base, then added a strip of white card stock I had stamped using the PTI set Plaid Builder (I stamped a whole 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheet and cut it into strips).  Then I added a panel of pure poppy and my tag which I popped up using foam tape.



Supplies: Petite Pots + dies, Plaid Builder, Ombre Builders, tag die, ribbon, Copic marker, foam tape.
Colors: Pure poppy, tropical teal, hawiian shores, simply chartreuse, limeade ice (PTI), daffodil delight, cajun craze (SU).

That's it for me today, I'll be back Sunday with my card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Garden Grace

 Hello!  Today I'm sharing a card that I created a few months ago for my nieces birthday but never posted the card here on my blog.  I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Garden Grace and heat embossed the floral image with white embossing powder onto watercolor paper.  Then I did a little watercolor smooshing with picked raspberry and spiced marmalade distress inks.  Once the watercoloring was dry, I stamped my sentiment, added some wink of stella glitter on the roses and glued on some iridescent sequins.

Hope you're having a good start to your week!
