ICC207 A Non-traditional Valentine

 Happy Wednesday, peeps! The Inspire.Create.Challenge this week wants to see something new!  

I recently got this beautiful embossing folder called Stone & Vine--it's a bit of a sleeper in the catalog, easy to overlook!  I chose it to make a non-traditional Valentine!  It's a square card, 4 1/4", and it's also blue!  Here we go:

I embossed a piece of Misty Moonlight with the embossing folder, then swiped my Craft White ink pad across the raised areas.  I added a sentiment from Encircled With Love, making sure the hummingbird's tail didn't get cut off, then mounted it all on a Cloud Cover card base:

Another new product is this pretty Cloud Cover Textured Ribbon---oh so soft!  

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

CAS C&S563 You're On My Mind

Happy Tuesday, peeps! Happy July! Hope you're staying cool!  We had quite a busy weekend--2-day yard sale, church, boat ride, recuperation, LOL, so my stamping time was a bit limited! The Clean and Simple Colours & Sketches challenge this week is a sweet little color challenge to get my mojo started again:

I haven't used the set Encircled With Love very much, so I did some stamping in each of the colors, then fussy-cut some of the images and popped them up on an embossed panel for an uber-CAS card:

I did add a tiny scallop mat behind the image, as well as some Wink of Stella to the pink heart and a rhinestone gem to the purple one:

Simple, easy and sweet!  Thanks for popping in today!

AYSI348 Spots & Stripes

Happy Friday, everyone!  Hope you have something fun planned for the weekend!  It's time for a new As You See It challenge, and our theme this week is spots or stripes!

I just got the new set called Encircled With Love, so it seemed perfect for the challenge! I added spots and stripes to my card:

I chose to keep my card monochromatic to keep it simple, using Lost Lagoon ink, but I did kick it up a notch by adding a few more subtle spots with a polka dot embossing folder, then added a sentiment from Everyday Arches. I love how the fonts seem to coordinate!  My final embellishment was some Lost Lagoon Soft Cord:

I also used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

I love spots, and I love stripes, and I love them together!  I hope you'll play with our challenge this week...you can use either or both!  Check out what the DT created too...some fun creations over at the AYSI blog!   Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
