CMCC#82 and RS#174 : Happy Birthday!

Hello, crafty friends! I have been busy getting reading for my Make and Take class happening on Satruday and as usual, I always want to create something after I have all my supplies packed in containers- which makes it difficult for me to find supplies AND remember to put them back!  So, hopefully I put everyting back in the right spot. :)

I played with 2 challenges this morning: Retro sketch #174 and Colour Me...! #82.  Here are their challenges:


And here's the card I made following the sketch and using the colors shown on the righthand side of the colour me challenge:

Colors are: Tip Top Taupe (love!), Wisteria Wonder and Blushing Bride.  


The sentiment is from the Hostess set: Happy Birthday Everyone, and the flowers are from Beautiful Bunch.  Love, love these colors together!  So, I guess I am "team  Tara"! The accents I used are: Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim, Blushing Bride Candy Dots, White Perfect Accents and some vanilla twine.

Well, I hope you enjoy my creation. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping!

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...
