Divas Sketch Challenge 143

Good Afternoon....
Well! The morning flew by didn't it?
I should be in the kitchen (have chicken soup to make) - but - the stamping bug hit me and here I am!

I found this sketch on the Utah Divas International blog ... and it really caught me - so I had to do something with it.

Here is the card I made for this challenge - the main CS is Wisteria Wonder - at first I thought this was too "pastellie" for me - but it is growing on me! The accent CS is Pool Party - thought I would try these two together.... flowers are from "Fabulous Florets". I took the liberty of adding a sentiment on the front of the card - and VOILA! here it is.....

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope this day finds you at peace with your circumstances!
Blessings and HUGS!

Stamps & Smiles Sketch Challenge #8 - Spring Song!

'Morning!

Thanks for stopping by!

I received some new DSP a couple nights ago! It's called Bella Bleu - coordinating colors are Vanilla, Not Quite Navy, Kraft - and of course, all these colors can be mixed and matched with more vibrant colors! As some of you know I have been a hoarder of DSP - but have been "letting go" for the past few months and using it!

I did the challenge at Stamps & Smiles ... and quite like the result! Hope you do too!

I just love this little bird - I colored him with markers and a blender pen - using Not Quite Navy and So Saffron - I've never seen a little fellow like this at my feeders but that doesn't mean he isn't out there somewhere! Right?

Remember - "His compassions are new every morning!"

Blessings on yah!

Our Creative Corner Challenge - March 21

Hi All!
I had to post a second time today! I have just completed this card for Our Creative Corner Challenge.... every Saturday they post a sketch to challenge one's creativity! I find the sketches very inspirational - they make me think out side of the box I'm usually in!
Enjoy!
I used Cameo Coral as the base for the card; Raspberry Tart DSP; Riding Hood Red as the mat; Kiwi satin ribbon; a little heart charm I found kicking around the other day; and the spring flower stamp from "Always In My Thoughts". I KNOW I'll be using this sketch again and again.
I am looking at a wonderful sunset - awesome evening! Hope you're enjoying it!

OCC Sketch Challenge

Here is the sketch challenge from Our Creative Corner... I decided to give it a try and came up with a fairly simple card using Tea Party DSP; So Saffron and Almost Amethyst CS; a Pretties flower dyed with reinkers; a crochet flower and brad in the center of the flower; and a simple sentiment from a level one hostess set.



Have a relaxing Sunday; spend time with family and the Lord! See you all next week!
Blessings!

Hey!

I have returned! My goal for today was to do some writing and to complete another challenge... I have achieved both! Whoo Hoo!

Here is the Card I created using this weeks Sketch Challenge from Our Creative Corner. The flower I used is from the Ink, Spray, Smash paper I made last week; with a Filigree Brad in the center; Raspberry Tart DSP; Pink Pirouette CS; and the new Pink Pirouette Ribbon...did I say yesterday I have oodles of ribbon? Well! more was delivered last night! I'm not really a "Pink Person" but I love this PP CS and Ribbon...it's so soft yet has a presence about it!

Enjoy! Now to see if I can get this posted to the OCC site!

Blessings!
