    Another fabulous inspiration site for today’s Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast.! After a lot of browsing, I picked this Party Tray.

    All images, embossing powders and adhesives are Sparkle N Sprinkle. For my card, I stamped and white embossed the rose image multiple times on water color paper, masking where needed. I wet the entire background and floated in reinker colors.

    I used darker colors on the two extra roses I embossed on a separate piece of w/c paper, and cut these two out. I partially cut some of the petals and layered this on top of the other image w/ foam tape for a little lift.

    The greeting was stamped w/ the pine ink and the lower edge punched. I added a trimmed off strip as the horizontal band and a faux brad.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Happy Saturday! I hope y’all are having a super weekend!

    These “note” cards are for two challenges. The one on the left is for today’s IC232 challenge and the one on the right is for yesterday’s F4A12 challenge. For the IC challenge, I was inspired by the Notables sets.  I wish they had a bigger picture of it, but I liked the music and guitars in the pattern. For the F4A challenge, I made a similar card but only colored in the spotlight area. I hadn’t really done this technique before and it was fun.

    All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. On both cards, the guitar was stamped and masked multiple times. With the masks still in place, I stamped the swirling music around the necks of the guitars. I stamped one extra guitar for each card. Everything was colored using Prismacolor pencils. I cut out the spotlight area using a Spellbinders Mega Oval, cut a slightly larger black mat and attached it back over the cut out area. Opposite corners were rounded and then edged w/ a black marker.

    The black background was stamped w/ a music scrap image in black chalk ink and the spiral edge punch was used down the left sides. It’s hard to see the black on black here, but it’s visible IRL. On the left one, I scribbled more Prismacolors across a strip of white and stamped the notes, then cut around them. On the right one, I used the pencils to create a narrow border behind the black layer. The greetings were stamped and the music notes added. Both cards are 4.25 x 5.5 (A2).

    And this is my version. I really picked up on the orange colors, the flower and butterflies. Although it may look like there are layers or cut outs, there’s really only one layer attached to the card, three punched butterflies and one die cut sentiment. I started with a piece of white c/s slightly smaller than my 4.25 x 5.5 (A2) white card. I stamped the medium and small Bush Flowers with black ink, masking when needed. I added just a touch of color by lightly swiping sponges w/ yellow, orange and pink inks haphazardly across the flowers. I colored over all of the petals w/ a VersaMark pen and clear embossed them. A few specks of embossing powder were spread out around the flowers, but I like the splatter look so I left them and even added a few more.

    Yellow, orange, pink, ginger and cranberry inks were then sponged over the entire piece and I used more of the darker colors around the flowers to add more contrast. The excess ink was wiped off of the clear embossed flowers. The script from Odd Findings was stamped over the top with ginger ink.  I stamped a butterfly from  Friends are Special using the yellow, orange and cranberry inks on a scrap of white then I used a butterfly punch. The punch didn’t exactly line up w/ the image, but I like it anyway.  I traced around it on a piece of white and cut the inside out, leaving just a white frame of the butterfly. I used this as my base to attach to the card and popped the butterfly up on top. I added two more small punched white butterflies and the sentiment (also from Bush Flowers). I edged the entire piece w/ a black marker and added a piece of cardboard underneath for a little dimension before attaching it to my card.
