Now on to my take for the challenge:



I love red and white! This is a go to combo for me! I selected some a fun flourish by Cheery Lynn Designs (available at Our Daily Bread Designs) to accent my two heart dies (also CLD). I used a fun paper by K & Company that looks like a newspaper print. I also embossed the top red panel with a fun print. I love those conversation hearts but hate the taste! lol...

I want to say a special good bye today. Our fabbo guest designer, Wanda Cullen, will be finishing her guest term this month. Wanda is a wonderfully gifted and sweet crafter! I will miss you so!!!

Crazy 4 Challenges #121 Layer It On

Smooches... or Actually Smoochables...

Good morning! Thought I would pop in and share a few projects I had in the hopper. I was recently asked to create a few extra projects at Our Daily Bread Designs. And again I am going the clean and simple route. The image panel and background paper are from Bo Bunny's Smoochables 12 x 12 line. I love how the larger paper has ready made panels... you know, the kind perfect for stamping sentiments in! And I did just that with the above card. I selected a lovely sentiment from ODBD's Little Things set. I added a dash of lace edging and called it a day! Super quick and super fun! The card below was made with the same paper just without an ODBD sentiment. I utiilized one of the fun sayings already on the paper! Thanks as always for reading! Blessings...



Ingredients

Paper - Bazzill, Bo Bunny Smoochables; Stamps - ODBD Little Things; Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa, Lace, Ribbon

Daisy Notecard

Can you believe I did not stamp a single sentiment on the front? It was a struggle! lol... I decided to make a simple note card this week. One of my favorite color combos (black and white) won out! This DP from Bo Bunny is called Enchanted. And it's just that... absolutely lovely! I stamped ODBD's Honeycomb Background on one sheet with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and picked a coordinating paper to stamp ODBD's Daisy image on. Can you believe I didn't color this one? I really think my Copics were screaming at me in frustration... (sigh...)

Thanks so much for stopping in and until next time...

Blessings

Ingredients

Paper - Colorbok, Bo Bunny Enchanted; Stamps - Our Daily Bread Designs' Honeycomb Background, Daisy; Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Dies - Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, Classic Scalloped Ovals Small; Ribbon

SGC36, Cardabilities 47 & Trigger Tuesday - Rejoice!

Hope you are having a wonderful Lord's day! Thought I would pop in to share a card I created this week. I wanted something almost entirely white but wasn't sure how it would turn out. So here it is...



the sketch...



And the inspiration photo from Moxie Fab Trigger Tuesday - Winter Blossoms... I really like the neutrals in this photo. So I tried to use my favorite neutral (white) with some various textured blossoms too!



And a close up of the card...



This one has several layers and used several dies. I cut a 6.75 x 6.75 white base and then used a Martha Stewart punch around the page set to embellish. I then cut a 5.5 x 12 inch base, scoring at the 6 inch line and adhered to the punched layer. I adhered a slightly smaller layer of white card stock with dimensional foam and then cut another layer at 5.25 x 5.25 scoring with my ScorPal at .25 inch increments. I then placed this layer on upside down. I wanted the panel to resemble beadboard. I then placed this with dimensional foam and spritzed the entire thing with Smooch Spritz (Vanilla Shimmer) and Glimmer Mist (Dazzling Diamonds). I placed a rectangular punched panel on top of this. I used Martha Stewart's large lattice punch for that layer. The final layer consists of a Cheery Lynn Designs Die, Spellbinders Picot Edges and a Standard Circles Large surrounding the sentiment. The sentiment was stamped in black and came from Our Daily Bread's Easter Blessings set. A few pearls, crochet flowers, mulberry roses, pearl brads and paper punched leaves finish it off! Thanks so much for visiting and until next time... Blessings...

This Week’s Challenge-

A Sketch

Now on to my take for the challenge:



The layers are heavily distressed! If there was an edge I could ink, rough up or otherwise destroy, I did! I found some lovely leaf stick pins awhile back and decided to add those for interest. And if you look very closely, you will see Our Daily Bread Designs' Time image stamped on the background paper for added interest! Who says you just have to stamp on the central panel?
