Reverse Confetti's Sketch for You to Try for March!

I really love "circles" in a sketch!  So this month's Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti caught my eye right away!

I got out a favorite of mine, "Blooms 'N Buds," and began to make my own paper version of spring!

That little snippet of floral patterned paper was my inspiration.  I stamped flowers to match it, then got out my much loved denim paper from Crate Paper.  I have quite a few sheets, and save every little bit.  It's my favorite!

Added a sentiment banner using "Bitty Banners" layered over the "Blooms 'N Buds" flowers.

Added some little "cloudy" adhesive centers to the flowers.  Almost got this card done without any gingham...but some managed to sneak in.  Can you see it peeking? :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

SFYTT: Coral Floral

This month there is a lovely layered sketch at Reverse Confetti's February Sketch for You to Try!

I chose to use a set I just got called "Garden Bunches" along with the "Happy Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts."

Stamped and die cut flowers from Garden Bunches, and added a striped leafy die cut to match.

A few light rose sequins, and an embossed "birthday" from the "Whole Lotta Happy" set that is perfect with the Confetti Cut and has sentiments for every occasion!

Thanks for stopping by!

Reverse Confetti's January SFYTT

Another versatile and fun Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti for this month!

Seeing that circle, I just had to use the wreath from the "Falling For You" set again!

This time I paired the wreath with a sentiment from Whole Lotta Happy which has sentiments for every occasion!  A friend at work just had a baby girl on December 24th, and I thought this would be perfect.

Stamped the wreath in Memento Bamboo Leaves, then colored with Copics.  Added die cut pieces stamped in black, also colored with Copics.  The sentiment is stamped on vellum with Versamark, then heat embossed in white.

For the horizontal center panel of the sketch, I chose a different aqua dot pattern and placed a rectangle behind the "new baby" portion of the sentiment to highlight it a bit.  Love these sets SO much!

Fusion 4th Anniversary Challenge

The Fusion Challenge Blog is celebrating their 4th Anniversary!  They have a lovely challenge photo and sketch for the occasion:

I chose to use the sketch and the inspiration photo, with the sweet Concord & 9th stamp set "Let's Chat"...

I stamped a woodgrain background with a Stampin' Up "Barnwood" background and also embossed PTI's White Linen cardstock with the Woodgrain Impression Plate.

I stamped the cup, the cocoa inside (and cut it out), and heat embossed the marshmallows with white powder, then cut all of the pieces out, layering them with dimensionals.  Made a little "saucer" using a circle Nestabilities die, and added some white embossed leaves from the set for decoration.   The sentiment is on vellum and comes from the Waltzingmouse Stamps' Sewing Box set.

Love the Fusion Challenge, and I'll raise my cocoa mug to the DT for four more years of fun :)!

Happy Feet SFYTT

I love this sketch from the SFYTT at Reverse Confetti this month!  So many fun things to do with those background squares and rectangles!

I chose images and dies from Love You S'more, and the Happy Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts for my card,

Love this patterned paper from last year's DCWV Collection "Merry Little Christmas."

Added a little sparkle here and there to match the glittered patterned paper and I'm doing a happy dance!

Celebrate the Season

I am playing along with the November Sketch for you to Try at Reverse Confetti!  Here is the sketch...

I chose to use Reverse Confetti's Fall for You wreath set, as well as Bitty Banners... 

I stamped the wreath in Versamark on denim paper, the heat embossed with white powder. Added lots of die cut elements from the set, and sprinkled them with Crystal Snow glitter.

The vellum piece was embossed with the Sizzix Snowfall folder, and added a few little sparkly snowflakes underneath for the corner edge panel in the sketch.

I cannot get enough of the Fall for You wreath!  It's definitely my favorite to use this season!

Pastel Flower Sketch

A card today for two fun challenges, Reverse Confetti's Sketch For You To Try this month, and Color Throwdown's lovely colors of the week!

I used Reverse Confetti's "Blooms 'N Buds" and "Bitty Banners" stamps and dies.  They are so much fun to play with!

I stamped an old background from Cornish Heritage farms in the background using A Muse Studio's warm gray ink called "Seattle," and used a plaid Cuttlebug embossing folder on vellum  adhered over the bottle half of the card.

The flowers and leaves were stamped in shades of A Muse and Fresh Ink in yellow and aqua, and the leaves in A Muse's Latte and Seattle inks.  Added some white opal Liquid Pearl and stardust Stickles details.  Celebrating spring and Moms everywhere :)!
