New Queen... QFTD136

 

This card was inspired by our Queen this week.  Come play along with the Queen for the Day Challenge on Splitcoast.

 

First I stamped the background wheel with crumb cake ink on the same color paper.  I stamped one tree with versamark and embossed white.  I stamped two trees with soft suede and I inked all the edges.

The sentiment (from Beautiful Season) and Four Frames is punched out and popped up and accented with pearls.

Welcome Little One - double challenge

I made this card for two challenges:

Color Challenge - at Create with Connie & Mary.  Early Espresso, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade.

Layout - at Stampin' Royalty

I wanted to use my somewhat neglected Four Frames set.  It works so perfectly with fabulous phrases.

The "welcome" is cut out and popped up.  I added two mini brads to the frame.

I textured the two pieces of brown with different embossing folders and I textured the leaves as well.

I'm really happy with how this turned out.  A bit of a non-traditional type baby card, but I love it.

Freshly Made Sketches - DT tryout

I am making this card for the design team tryout at Freshly Made Sketches.  They are a very cool blog with sketch challenges each week that feature "CLEAN" designs!  (Not necessarily clean and simple)  I love that style! 

Here is the card I made for their sketch #8.

I used "Four Frames" and "Fabulous Phrases".

The little birdie I stamped twice so that I could cut one out and pop it up overtop.  I used some edgelits with embossing and a mini clip.  The patterned paper is from Sale-a-bration.

New Queen... QFTD82

These cards are for this week's Queen - Joan Ervin! Please come play along with the Queen for the Day Challenge on Splitcoast.



I made this card by embossing the LEAVES from French Foliage. I popped up the kraft panel on a kraft card base. The sentiment (Many Merry Messages) is also embossed in gold. I added some pearls to the center.





For this card I used Joan's technique of STACKED BACKGROUND. I used woodgrain and fifth ave floral. To match Joan's style I embellished and used LOTS of details!

Spring Awash

I combined the layout and the colors from this week at Splitcoast. This card also works for this week's Stampin' Royalty theme - SPRING!



The stamp sets I used - Awash with Flowers, Four Frames and Hodgepodge Happiness.

New Queen... QFTD54

I made two cards for our Queen this week. You can find the Queen for the Day challenges here. Anyone is welcome to come play along.



This card uses Vellum, Four Frames and a silver stamped rose.






On this card I also used two of the techniques from this week at Splitcoast - a Clean and Simple card with cut up sentiment. And cutting around the frame. What fun techniques and they worked great for making a card for Clownmom.
