Stampin' Up! Just Believe and I create Thank You cards

I'm back, two posts in two days! Are you in shock? I actually sat and struggled with this card, throwing out a whole bunch of Top Note die cuts.... 

This card uses a Crumbcake card base which I have layered some Rose Red which has been spritzed using a mixture of Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol and stamped using the So Swirly Wheel, the sentiment is stamped in Rose Red, and is from the Hostess Set Because I Care. The Perfect Plum frame has been stamped with the So Swirly Wheel as well and has some dimensionals behind it.The ribbon is something really fun on this card, I wanted Crumbcake coloured ribbon, but only had Very Vanilla, so I got out my reinker, and popped a few drops mixed with rubbing alcohol and I dragged the ribbon through it, I heat set it using my heat tool. The main image is from Just Believe and has been stamped using my Stampin' Write Markers in Rose Red and Certainly Celery. I have cut out 3 little butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embossolit and glued them down, I have then added some faux stitching to finish off this card.

I am entering this into a couple of challenges, the first is the Stamping 411 sketch challenge, then the Inkspirations colour combination, the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge and finally the Moxie Fab World botanical challenge. 

Anyway, it is my bed time!

Goodnight, and Happy Stamping

Owls Everywhere

Just dropping by to share a quick card before heading to bed... It has been an epically long week.

Are you at all surprised that the owls made a triumphant return? I'm not... I love this punch, and it's little surprise, when it is so versatile and easy to use! I have quickly become addicted to this little guy!

This card is for two challenges, the first being the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch, and also the Inkspiration colour challenge. 

The colour combo was completely out of my comfort zone, but I adore how my card came out.... 

Thanks for looking, and make sure you pop back through the week to have a chance at some blog candy!

Mojo Monday and 2S4Y

Hi all, I have two sketch cards to show you.
The first one is the last ever sketch from 2 sketches 4 you

This was a card that came together quite quickly for me. I used the in colour - Concord Crush and the birdy is the part of the Hostess set Silhouette Sentiments, I also went back to my trusty Jumbo stamp wheel, with So Swirly.

The second card I have to show you is for an upcoming class, which I'm holding to create kids cards... I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this one.  

Kids cards are a little out of my depth, because I don't make many, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I love how it turned out. Only one stamp set was used for this one - Party This Way. 

Go, participate in these two great challenges :-)
