ONE GOOSE, TWO GEESE, RED GEESE, BLUE GEESE

Wow, it has been forever since I have been able to play along with any challenges! Summer is going so fast and is so busy!!

Here is a card I made for today's Clean & Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. We were to be inspired by the childrens book, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I love Cat in The Hat and always read them to my son.

I was inspired by the colors for my card. I pulled out some Pacific Point and Riding Hood Red.

I used The Stamp of The Month for July from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS called Goose Hugs. I think it is the sweetest. Since this was a CAS Challenge I opted to just color in the beaks and feet of the geese and a little bowtie.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps ~ July SOM Goose Hugs

Paper: SU Whisper White, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red

Ink: Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red

Accessories: Pacific Point ribbon, SU Circle Punch, Spellbinders Circle Nesties, Paper Piercer, Riding Hood Red Taffeta ribbon, Copic Marker

SMOOCHED KITTY

I made this card for today's FREE 4 ALL Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. We were to use something NEW from our stash on our card.

I used 3 new things:

1. New stamps from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS for July called A Cupful of Happiness

2. My new Presto Patterns DSP from Stampin Up

3. My new Log Cabin Smooch Spray from Stampin Up

I found that the smooch spray is going to take some getting used too! I was going for a vintage look....but the spray sort of blobbed onto my card..lol. Oh well...live and learn.

This card is also for Mothermarks Tuesday Teapot Challenge #101.....I brought some Polka Dots to the party.

SO VERY GRATEFUL ~ CLEARLY INSPIRED CHALLENGE #15

It is that time again....time for another CLEARLY INSPIRED CHALLENGE!

This month we were challenged to make a THANK YOU card. Come on over and play along. If you have Clear Dollar Stamps we'd love to see them...if not...play along anyway. There is a fantastic prize to be won!!

I used three different stamp sets for my card. The Medallion de Fleur was stamped as a background on the top half of the card. I used Heartfelt Sentiments for the sentiment and Winged Whispers for my main image. The bird was stamped on watercolor paper and watercolored with my blender pen and ink. I then cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals. I added Crystal Effects to the bird for some added interest.

I made a circle frame using Spellbinders Circle Nesties and filled it with punched flowers to create a wreath to frame my bird.

This card also qualifies for the following challenges:

OUR CREATIVE CORNER ~ To use BLUES & GREENS

SPEEDY THE CAT'S FRIENDS CHALLENGE ~ To use more than three FLOWERS..
