GDP075 card challenge, Just for You

Good morning from the gray, dark skies of North AZ.  Been like this for several days, for sure not our usual winter.

I loved the theme for the GDP challenge for this week:

How fun, right?  So much to choose from.  I decided not to use any of the newer sets, and went back to  my Bold Butterfly and Butterfly thinlits.

On top of my solid butterfly, I have a vellum detailed butterfly.  I love using vellum.  I also used another favorite set, Swirly Scribbles, oh gosh, so much you can do with that!  I took the long piece and laid it on my paper and used a brush to brush a little color from my ink pad, very gently.

So, colors for this are: Peekaboo Peach, Bermuda Bay, So Saffron and Whisper White.

You will find the product listed below, just click on any one of the images and you will be take to my store. There you can purchase, but also just look around, just because you go there doesn't mean you will end up with a bill. LOL

Stampin Up, Global Design Project challenge #029

This week is a color challenge.  I love that GDP has several different types of challenges,  It's always fun to see what's going on for this week.

Also, you can't find a group of better card artists anywhere, some of the best of SU's demo's play here, some as team members and some as players.  Some are even on the Stampin Up Artisian team.

We have 3 bright/dark colors today, that can be a little difficult, but using  a lot of white space helps. I thought about making my Happy die cut in the Bermuda Bay or Tangelo Twist, and in my head it just wasn't as nice, so hopefully it shows up ok.

The Gorgeous Grunge set was my friend here.  It gave me that watercolor drops look I was after with a lot less stress.   For me, when I try splatters and drops, I end up a mess! LOL, I'm kind of a messy stamper anyway. Here are the colors.

I hope I have helped to give you a bit of inspiration here.  Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Global Design Project 022

Hello, and welcome!  GDP has a sketch challenge this week.  I had a great time doing this one.  I pulled out some well used stamps and dies from this years annual catalog.

I used Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Rose Red.    I do LOVE florishes so this stamp set is not ever going anywhere and I hope SU keeps it in the catalog for a good long time.
The beautiful subtle design on this DSP was perfect to stamp on and is just enough texture.

Here is the sketch:

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for coming by.

Stampin Up, Global Design Project #008

I am so enjoying the GDP challenges. We are able to play with Demonstrators from all over the globe. 
I had a hard time this week, took me a while to come up with something, but here it is.  Kind of a grungy little card, with some pops of  color.

I used Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Crumb cake.  The lines are made using the Brushstrokes background stamp.

Thanks for coming by to see what I was up to.

Stampin Up, Freshly Made Sketches #191

Hello, and I hope summer is going well for you. I know many areas of the country are suffering with horrible weather, so good thoughts going out your way that you are all good.

I am trying a challenge I have only done a time or two before today. I've kind of been hopping around just doing any challenge that interests me.  This one is really neat.

I used Lost Lagoon, Mint Macraron, Blackberry Bliss and Black StazOn ink.
A note on the StazOn ink, it's permanent ink, make sure you have the StazOn ink cleaner, otherwise you will forever have black stamps.  Also, just rub the cleaner on without water first, clean with a paper towel, then wash.

You would never know that I stamped off onto my paper with the blackberry bliss before stamping on my watercolor paper, it's still pretty dark, just take note of that. I used a brush to brush on a little water just where I wanted it before stamping, you can also use a small brush to spread out the color if it has blank spots.

Love, love, love the Watercolor words!

Have an awesome day, and thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Paper Players challenge 243

So far I am loving doing the Paper Players challenges. They really do some different stuff. This weeks challenge is to make a card that has to do with Transportation.  That made me put my thinking cap on.   But here is Sheltering Tree with it's cute little bike.  And my fantasy tree, it's hard to see here, but it's embossed Gold, silver and Tempting Turquoise.  Sorry, the Tempting turquoise embossing powder has been retired for a while, but I was in the mood for that color.

The line stamp from the grunge set is suppose to show speed and the disappearing bike shows  movement as well.

I hope you enjoy.

Inspiration, A Stampin Up card

This card was made using inspiration I found from a couple sources. One being a cute little bag posted on Pinterest using the new Bike stamp in the My Paper Pumpking box for this month.

The little bag had white smudged on and possibly embossed, I choose to use an embossing folder and one of the grunge stamps from Gorgeous Grunge. I inked the stamp and stamped off on my paper first so it wasn't so dark. The sentiment stamp and the bike were both stamps in the kit. As were the little sticky banner shapes at the bottom.
Cutting around the bike was not so easy, but I got it done.

Colors:
Smoky Slate
Bermuda Bay
Calypso Coral
Rose Red
Supplies:
Stamps and triangle banners from the Aug 2013 My Paper Pumpkin.
Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
Neutrals DSP paper stack   130132
