REMEMBERING MURPHY

I made this card for today's COLOR CHALLENGE over at Splitcoaststampers.  The colors were Pool Party, More Mustard and Early Expresso with the option of using a Designer Paper.  I chose the Spice Cake DSP from Stampin Up.  I love this paper.

I also needed a card for a co-worker, who had the sweetest dog on her Mail Route die....so sad.  His name was Murphy.  Whenever I filled in on her route he was so friendly and always came over for a treat.  So this one is for Murphy!

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps Dog Days

Paper:  Pool Party, Whisper White, More Mustard, Spice Cake DSP

Accessories:  Spellbinders Oval Nesties, Early Expresso Ribbon, Sponging, Dimensionals, Heart Blocks Embossing Folder, Cuttlebug

PAISLEY PRINTS ANNIVERSARY

I finally had a chance to get into my craft room and make a card for a challenge.  This card is for this weeks SKETCH CHALLENGE at Splitcoaststampers.  It was a difficult one for me....I decided on different Designer Papers for my circles from SU's Paisley Prints DSP.

I created a ribbon rose using my Old Olive Satin Ribbon for my fifth circle.  I added some Pale Blue pearls and an Old Olive library clip to finish it off.  Also, the background was sponged with Marine Mist onto Whisper White card stock and then distressed with water droplets.

Card Supplies:

Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:  SU Paisley Prints, Whisper White, Old Olive

Accessories:  Old Olive Satin Ribbon and Library Clip, Blue Pearls, SU Circle Punches, Sponge, Water Mister, Dimensionals,

BEST WISHES

My sister asked for a wedding card for her nieces wedding.  This is what I came up with.  The Doily Background stamp was stamped onto Whisper White card stock.  Vellum card stock was then embossed and used as an overlay.  I added some pearls, ribbon and sentiments to complete the card.

Since this card was her gift as it was a Money Holder card I put it in a clear envelope and decorated it with some more ribbon and butterfly.

Thanks for looking!

INSPIRED SMALL WONDER

I am home sick today...blah!  So I thought I would take a look at today's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE #326 over at Splitcoaststampers.  Today's website to be inspired by was Superfine Bakery.  I saw this beautiful cake with the pale orange flowers and was inspired to make the card below.

I also used this weeks SKETCH CHALLENGE #374  from Splitcoaststampers.

I was inspired by the pale flowers and the embossed looking dots on this cake to create my baby card below.  I thought the Peach Parfait color was a nice change from the usual go to Pink for a baby girl card.

THINKING OF YOU IN WATERCOLOR

I made this card for a co-worker who's husband just had a brain tumor removed.  

I used watercolor paper and colored my stamp with my markers.  Then I misted with water and stamped.  I created this card about a week ago but haven't had a chance to upload it.

WISTERIA POSIES

Although I have not been posting much on line...I have been busy in my craft room.  I made this card for one of the challenges out there in blog land ... then I forgot to upload it and forgot which challenge it was for.  lol

So here it is anyway.  I love the Wisteria Wonder color from Stampin Up paired with Concord Crush..or is it Crushed Concord...I can never remember.

Have a great day!
