Power and Spark Challenge

 

Just make a card inspired by fabric, that's all.  Well I don't have any fabric I said to myself.  Then I read just a little further and saw that Ally Cope found her inspiration on Pinterest.  So off I went looking and and found this inspriation. 

                                            

Look at all of the lovely oranges and light green/blue. and a touch of bright pink.  I used them all on this digital image from Power Poppy, and It is an
Easter card too.  Just what I needed. 

Fun to added color and shade and blend them.  Here is a closer look at the flower.  I am taking the Kit and Clower classes, and have found them to be very helpful. 
I am entering this in the Power and Spark Challenge for this month. You can find inspiration every where. 
Thanks for stopping by and I do appreciate your comments always.

Seize the Birthday - Teal and White!

I made a card for a special person's birthday.  Her favorite color is Teal. When I looked at the toppings for Seize the Birthday for March 15th. I was very happy to see that it fit the bill.  So I am writing up this post in advance.  By now, my card will be sent out and the recipient will have gotten her special card.
                               

  Our "Toppings" option this time is...

"Teal and White"

 

Here is my card.  

 I am trying new ways to photograph my cards.  This is just one of the props that I am using.

Here is a more conventional view

 For this card, I used these stamp sets from Gina K Designs.  Bold Blooms and Bold and Blooming for the sentiment. White cardstock from Gina K.  Die is Frantic Stamper Lattice Beauty Edger.  Clear embossing powder and distress inks to color the flower.  Some sequins and clear drops from Kat Scrappiness.

Don't forget to finish the inside too.  A little more stamping and some scoring will do.

Our Surprise Party Quest is Kimberly Lackenbach and you can find here lovely creations for inspiration at Kims cards & Crafts.  

And see what the design team has done for your inspiration  I hope that you will play along with us. 

 

Carats and Carrots, are not the same!

I thought that since Easter is coming soon, I would make an Easter card for today's inspiration.  No not just a card, a funny one. I hope that you get a chuckle from it too.

Just look at the expression on that bunny's face.  I think he knows that he messed up. 

I started by die cutting the bunny and carrots and carrot tops from Fun Foam.  

Yes, that is not card stock.  It gave more texture to the bunny and I just kept on going with that. 

This is a top folding card that was put onto a base of pink.  I rounded the bottom corners of the
card and base with my corner rounder. The sentiment is computer generated.

 Don't forget to do something on the inside too.  A few more dies cuts and it makes it special. 

Here are the dies that I used for the card.

How you bean shaker add ons

It is not too early to make those Easter cards.  These dies will be very popular.

Flower Challenge Anything Goes #18

Here I am again with another card for the Flower Challenge #18 anything goes.
Yes, It is another Sympathy card.  I have been needing those too much lately.  I hope that they will bring a little bit of comfort.

Here is my card for this challenge.  

 This is a digital stamp that was a free one from the Kit and Clower class that I am taking.  It is a lot of fun to learn how to add depth and dimension to an image. This one was colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and added to a panel that I dry embossed.   Just circle die cuts for the sentiment, and a matching envelope to complete it.
Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy!
