Thoughts of You, Tic Tac Toe challenge



We have a brand new challenge that started up a bit ago.  It's called Tic Tac Toe, you pick a row to make your card, or you can pick them all.    I combined mine with a new technique thought up by a friend of mine in our Pretty Pals demo group.  She does the most fab watercolor.  You can find the instructions for this on Splitcoast Stampers. I decided to give it a try and used it for this card.

My colors today are: Powder Pink, Blushing Bride, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White
The little rose in the sentiment is embossed in copper, and I used a small part of the retired doily that was sitting on my desk.  The Glitter dots do not look very glittery here, but trust me they really are. I just could not get the light right for them.

So, go here for the challenge:
and here is todays challenge card:    

If you have questions about my card, I have no way to write you unless you give me contact info. So you would have to come back to comments to see my answer, but I am more then happy to answer any questions.

Here are the products I used today.

Happy Birthday class card


This card was used for my class last week.  It is very simple, and was a lot of fun to make.  My class had a really good time with it.  The set is called Happy Birthday Gorgeous and the big Happy Birthday on the card is the Die that comes with the bundle, available June 1, 2017.
The balloons in this set are punched out with the balloon punch that is current.

I used the little swirlys in the set as the string for the balloons and stamped them around just for effect.
Colors are Tranquil Tide, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo.   Tranquil Tide is a brand new incolor that is in the new annual catalog June 1.
After die cutting the Happy Birthday from white, I sponged on the 3 colors, I think it turned out very festive.   Colors can be changed to make this a masculine card without a problem.

I hope you enjoyed and got some inspiration. I know you are going to enjoy the new catalog!

Celebrate_Paper Players color challenge#344


It's Mothers day today. I live too far to have been with my girls today, but they have all checked in this weekend, sent gifts and called and texted.  So, I'm good. Instead I decided to play with the Paper Players today. What a fun color challenge. Bright, bold colors, the red threw me, but I think I pulled it off.

I used Swirly Bird stamps and Swirly Scribbles dies, and could have just stuck with that set, but I am in love with the cute little 2 stamp roses in the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set from the new Annual catalog so I used them.  So simple, no coloring required.  I simply stamped off after inking up the background until it was light enough then stamped on my paper.  Then inked up the top stamp and stamped that on top.

I used watercolor paper, watercolored the background, but sponged the die cuts, and used my trimmer with the rotary adaptor and wavy blade for the edges.  I'm sorry to say that adaptor is retired, but sometimes that tiny edge is just the thing.

So, here is the color challenge, click on the text to go see what everyone has done. 


I hope your Mother's day was everything you could ask for.
