Color Throwdown #298

Good Morning and welcome to Color Throwdown # 298- Peace, Love and Flip Flops :)

Monika chose the colors this week and I was definitely/originally bent on a flower layout--- hydrangeas-perfect!

But, then I changed my mind... a girls prerogative, right! In the full swing of summer at my house and hanging out on the lake! Yes m'am it is definitely the season for wearing those flip flops... with anything...

 

Made a CAS card using some NBUS as Darnell would say. I bought the dies last year but, just recently Lil Inkers re-supplied the sentiments and I snatched them up!!

Fusion and CAS(e) this sketch!!

Happy Saturday! Well, I was doing laundry and working on some DT assignments and the MOJO was on vaca. I remembered that this week the FUSION challenge and CAS(e) this sketch joined forces and I really loved the sketch and inspiration pic.

 

Yep, it's pretty much a literal interpretation but, I love gold and vellum!! That gorgeous butterfly is from Serendipity Stamps...there is a floral frame to match. It's called Floral Frame and Embellishments.... gorgeous! I don't think you can see in this pic but, the background layers are a linen cardstock... perfect "extra" with a lot of clean space.

Color Throwdown # 297- hello!

Good Morning and welcome to this week's colors at the Color Throwdown. Cindy picked the colors this week and I know you'll love them!

Stenciled the background with a scallop stencil from MFT using daffodil delight. The flower was created with MFT's Gerbera Daisy die-namics. Sentiment is PTI and the dots on the Bermuda bay rectangle is from Verve's Bountiful Backgrounds. Papers are Fancy Pants Wonderful Day.

I used the sketch from The Challenge #9.

Serendipity Stamps Blog Challenge #32- Die cut window!!

Good Morning and welcome to the second DT posting for this month's challenge at Serendipity Stamps!

 The challenge this month is to create a Die Cut Window and use at least one Serendipity Stamp. The DT were given an extra challenge and sooooo...I have an Accordian Card.... tutorial on SCS here.

This is the cover. Played with a few sets from Serendipity's latest release. Stamped the Peacock Nouveau  and Branch Nouveau onto XPress It blending cardstock and colored with copics. I linked you to the page where you can buy these together along with a few sentiments but, you can purchase both the Peacock and Branch separately. The branch was fussy cut- ends popped up with foam dots for a little dimension. Added some sequins for a little bling!

The accordion card creates 4 panels- here are the middle two and my die cut windows. Used sentiments from Serendipity's Be Kind, Be Well, Be Happy. The back and fourth panel uses the same designer paper as the other three panels and I added a sweet little sentiment in the lower corner.

Want to go shopping? The special this week is 40% off the highest priced item in your cart - use code "40fromhigh614".  Offer good through 6-24-14.  You'll also receive a free small cling stamp (of our choice) with every die you purchase while supplies last.

Hope you find time to join us, and...

The rules are simple... play along using at least one Serendipity Stamps image on your submission and add a die cut window. You don't have to have a blog to play along - you can link your designs to any on line gallery.

Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop- Day 3

Good Morning and welcome the final hop day for Serendipity Stamps! Hope you have been enjoying all the fabulous creations from the DT- I know I have!

 

 

Here's my final card... a bit o' whimsy!!

I have been singing this song for days.... makes me happy. The new sentiment is called And I Think and that sweet butterfly is a new image- Butterfly Noveau. I stamped the butterfly on watercolor paper, colored and popped up on foam dots. The background was sponged through a stencil. Added a few enamel dots and a little bling.

My sweet friend Jeanne is the next stop on hop... it's sure to be something bright and beautiful!!
