Sneak Peek #4: Blended Birthday card

Hello! I hope that you had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.  This Memorial weekend was exceptionally awesome weather.  Usually its cold, or raining or both!  The rain held off until Monday afternoon, so it was great.  I have been so busy that it is hard to find time to stamp.  But I can't live without it...so I did sneak in a little stamping today. :)  I played along with two challenges.  The first is a picture inspiration challenge from Stampin' Royalty and my card design follows the sketch at The Paper Players blog.  Here are the challenges:
             

And here's my card creation:
I had so much fun making this card!  I have been dying to play with my new Stampin' UP! Blendabilities and today I finally did!  My coloring isn't the greatest, I admit, but gosh darn, it was so much fun to play with those cool new alcohol markers!  For the Blended Bloom single stamp, I used Cherry Cobbler and Coastal Cabana Blendabilities. I also used a light pink Copic marker from my stash of goodies.  :)


Here is a list of the supplies I used. Not sure why the Blended Bloom image isn't appearing...such is life. :)

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
