DT: Unscripted Sketches

Another fabulous sketch this week at Unscripted Sketches!  Can't wait to see what you create...just link your project on US's blog.

For my card, I used a paper stack from s.e.i.  I love the dark colors and designs in this collection.  The layers on the card are paper pierced.  This is one of my favorite techniques....love using Tim Holtz ruler for this.  I took the left over strips of design paper and made these twirls to use as fillers. 

Don't forget to stop by the other designers...you will be amazed at their creations!

DT: Stamptacular Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope you're having a great weekend so far.  We had the opportunity to spend some time with our niece and nephews.  It was a gloomy, cold day at the beach with way too many people!  But we still had a great time. 

Ok, so as much as I would love to share more about my weekend...let's get to the challenge for Stamptacular Sunday.  Using the colors from the photo, I made my own background.  I took four circles in various sizes and sponged ink around them.  Then I took black ink and dragged the color to give it a dramatic look.  What do you think?     

This week's challenge..."photo inspiration":

 Sponsor: Tickled Pink
 

I didn't want to cover the background, so I cut the center out of the frame.  To embellish the frame, I've added half pearls...love these tiny pearls.  When they go on sale at Michael's, I stock up on these babies!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that came to our Christmas in July Party.  Congrats to the Grand Prize winner...Brenda B!  She won a $25 gift certificate from Wax Fruit Company.

Now on to this week's sketch....here's a card using dies from C.C. Designs.  I've been in a pink & green combo mood.  The design paper is an oldie, but a goodie.  I was able to find cardstocks that matched perfectly.

DT: Card Cupids

Hello everyone!  Happy August 1st....can't believe how fast July just flew by!  Speaking of time flying by, it's time for another challenge at Card Cupids.  The theme for is "birthday or any shade of blue".  Our Sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs.  We hope you'll join us and play along! 

For my card, I used one of my favorite dies from MFT.  I love using the fishtail banner dies!  The background pattern paper is from Daisy D...it's an older design.  I love the color palette of green and pink.  And that's the main colors I used for this card.  I thought she needed an accessory and so, I added half back pearls for a necklace.
