  • Valentine Doily

    Doily Valentine cu08207
    Today’s Sketch Challenge (SC575) looked simple, yet interesting, so I gave it a try. My card is fairly CAS (clean & simple), made easier because it’s made up of scraps, leftovers & die cuts already made.
    Doily Valentine 08208
    The white stitched frame, pink doily,  pink circle, arrow & hearts were already cut & just hanging around. The doily isn’t actually a full one..just what you see here, so I tucked it partially under the white frame. The narrow black inside the white was another frame just hanging out so everything worked today. Well, except my internet..it’s been going on little coffee breaks all day. So annoying!! The only newly cut items are the big Happy and the little embossed heart bg.

  • Snowing Hearts


    Raining Hearts cu 08170
    Weekly-Favorite
    Today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC527) is a Pinterest board of Winter White. I was inspired by THIS picture w/ the pink umbrella, but instead of falling snow, I have it snowing/raining hearts. 
    Raining Hearts 08169
    I kept the backgrounds all white & except for some stamped falling hearts using the pink ink w/ just a few in red. I also added some die cut pink & red hearts (from the Umbrella die set). The top umbrella was popped up in the middle and under it I stamped the Valentine question mark in red ( I thought it would make a cute umbrella handle). I went back & inked just the words w/ a black marker & stamped that part again & used the same marker to outline the red heart.

  • Snowflake Birthday

    Snowflake Bday cu 08156
    This is for a couple of Splitcoast challenges..Color (CC564) & Sketch (SC574). Love these colors & looking through my stash, I found I have a whole bunch of backgrounds made with the blue/green combo…really one of my favorite combos. So I took one I made on a lg tag & cut it down & added some of the sand color in the bg for the color challenge. For the sketch, the only thing different is mine is the mirror image & it’s only that because the card front was upside down when I attached the vertical panel, so I had to reverse everything. Go ahead & laugh…like you’ve never glued anything upside down, lol.

    The med & lg snowflakes were stamped onto white, die cut & added to larger circle layers. For the sand bg, I stamped the snowflake bg all over using the sand ink then just a few flakes here & there w/ the white ink. The tag that I used for the vertical panel was done w/ a kind of modified Wrinkle Free Distress technique & I added just a bit of the Brilliance on top for a little shimmer.
