JAI #364, Thinking Of You

Just Add Ink has an inspiration challenge this week.  I knew right away what set I would use to start with.   This one is shaping up to be a favorite already.  It's called Grown with Love.   I had to lay the card flat to get the light to shine on the embossing so you could see it. It's done in Copper like the piece in the inspiration photo.

The team did a fantastic job, as usual. Click on the link to see.

It looks like I used a lot of product in this, but mostly I was just trying to find little things that would work for the vision in my head.    My colors today are:  Powder Pink, So Saffron, Pear Pazzazz, Tranquil Tide and Whisper White along with copper for embossing.

I used one of the new templates for the brick background, just used a large round brush and brushed over part of the stencil to create my background.

Love those cats. Just Add Ink 353

Now we are going way, way back.  This stamp is at least 15 or more years old.  It's from Paula Best, she is quite the artist, especially with animals.    I don't think she even makes stamps anymore, but does other arts.

The theme for this weeks Just Add Ink is critters, so I dug this out.  See the rest of the team's cards HERE.

It is a pretty simple card, stamped my image and cut out of the Layering Squares, then cut my black from Stitched Shapes square.

Stamped my flourish, used dimentionals to pop up my image, and that is pretty much that. I did add in some little dots for interest.  Colors for this are Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder, Emerald Envy, Basic black.

Thanks for coming by.

GDP#072, Sending Love, Valentine card

I was stuck on red and white for my valentines lately.  Mostly because the DSP stack was so pretty.
But today I have  different colors for you.  Here I used Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette with a bit of Pool Party.

I do love florishes, and usually I die cut them since I can, but for this I wanted the florish to act as part of the background with the splatters.

I'm submitting this to the GDP today, they have a CASE the designer going on.
Here is the details on that, and go here to play along.

I hope you have enjoyed todays project.

Happy Birthday, CFC challenge #164

This is the first time for this challenge for me. I was in the mood for a challenge today and went to hunt one up.
I have 2 girls with birthdays on the same day 4 yrs apart, they both LOVE purple, so purple it is. Rich Razzleberry for this one.

I have not used the set before, I think I got it just as the Holiday catalog was coming out and after that it was holiday all the way.   It's a fun bundle. For this card, I didn't use the die set, but I do love how the some dies match stamp set and you actually get extra die pieces that are totally different.  It gives you so many ways to use the set.  and this set, Falling Flowers, is just like that.

I'm trying out the new watercolor pencils here, there is a set of 13 pencils in this set of SU colors.
I did a scribble with the pencil before embossing the Happy Birthday, then afterward I ran over the color a bit with an Aqua Brush.
