Okay, you're saying "I don't see any cupcakes!"
You're right--for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge, you CAN use a cupcake, but I don't have any cupcake images big enough to make the card I wanted, so I used these clear stamps from Stampendous I got on our shopping trip, along with some words from My Favorite Thing's "Can Ya Dig It?" AND I used some paper I got on that trip too, and a new stamp pad! Woohoo! The challenge was also to make a card with an "awning".....so this is my awning. Plus today's SCS Challenge was to use brads as part of the design. This is probably a stretch, but I couldn't think of another place to put them!!! These colors are difficult to capture--sort of a blue/lavender and split pea green!!! But very pretty together! Thanks for looking!
Stamps: Fresh Blossoms (stampendous), Can Ya Dig It (MFT), Itty Bitty Backgrounds (SU)
Paper: Watercolor, VV, Basic Grey Romani, Wild Asparagus Breeze
- Ink: Palette Noir, VersaColor Split Pea, Bashful Blue & Almost Amethyst reinkers
-
- Acc: Aquapainters, Small & Large Oval Punches, DD Glitter, Old Olive Twill, Sponge Daubers, Dimensionals (lots of them), Corner Rounder, Brads & Punch
Here's another little card I made a couple nights ago while I couldn't sleep. This was a RAK from my stampin' friend in New Zealand!! (Hi Tracy, thanks!). I colored this little garden angel with markers & watercolors, then added some Basic Grey Two Scoops DP and added a Papertrey sentiment. If you look closely, you can see the same small flower I used on the above card, stamped along the bottom in pink! Hmmmm, I think she needs some sparkles on her wings....I'll have to amend that! LOL! Twill is from Taylored Expressions, flower & brad from my stash. Thanks again for visiting & have a great evening!

These are both fantastic!! The awning card is beautiful with the scallops, colors, and stamp choice. The coloring the second one is just out-of-this-world gorgeous!! What a cute image too.
ReplyDeleteWay to go today, LeAnne!!
LeAnne...I did what you asked and now I"ll probably be run out of town on a rail. And I wish I hadn't taken SOMEONE'S card to the post office today to put EXTRA postage on it.....
ReplyDeleteby the way: how large are your cards? This is an important piece of information because everyone's cards always look HUGE in the photos.
WOW girl, these 2 cards are just gorgeous!! I agree with Denise, the awning card is awesome with those scallops! I was checking out Taylor's challenge today and maybe I will try it tomorrow if I feel the need to stamp. LOL The second one is fabulous! That image works perfectly with the Basic Grey paper! Nicely done! :)
ReplyDeleteRelax now! :)
Hugs to you!

Ok these are way too cute! I love love love bright colors! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so pretty! Again, I'm lovin' that blue/lavender and green color combo on your awning card, and you did a wonderful job with the challenge! The little garden fairy looks so sweet (beautiful job with your coloring!) and the Two Scoops paper goes so well with it. tfs
ReplyDeleteStunning cards! I love the way you glittered those three flowers especially and the layout of it is fabulous! :0)
ReplyDeleteHi LeAnne, what a fantastic job you done on Gardenia Greenthumb. I have yet to attempt to make a card with her.. you set a hard road to follow!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your cards- I especially like the awning card. I love the colors and the embellishing.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous! Thanks for playing the challenge!
