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.

Oh Happy Day, FMS challenge 278, card 2

I just can't decide which one I like better, this one or yesterdays black and white card.  What do you think?

I just had so much fun with this technique I had to try it  with  different colors.
For this one I used Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum with the Blooms and Bliss DSP. Then I had a hard time decided if I liked it better with a white flower or this razzleberry flower.   I really do love the pattern in the DSP a lot!

Freshly Made Sketches#278, Happy Birthday

Happy Wed everyone.  I've been doing about 2 cards a week for my blog and picking and choosing which challenges I want to play with.   FMS has been one I've done a lot.  They have some awesome sketches.   They also have an awesome team, you  just have to check out this weeks team cards!

In the SU occasions catalog there is a new set called Special Reasons  and a matching die set called Stylish Stems Framelits. The really neat thing you can do is die cut the flower into your top layer so that it stays a flower and not just a big cutout.   I really wanted that look for this card, but budget and all, you guys know about budgets, I haven't gotten it yet.

But, I do have the May Flowers dies so I set out to create the same thing here.  And it worked!  I die cut my flower in my top layer, punched out the inside pieces keeping the outside edge attached. As you see it worked great.   It is just a matter of sticking your flower back into its hole.

I do love black and white every so often, it's just so classic, but I also love just a pop of color. So, my sentiment is done in Watermelon Wonder.  BTW, it is one of the incolor sets and will be  leaving us at the end of May, so if you want them or need cardstock to match or refills, you might want to take care of that pretty soon here.

The banner I used for the sentiment actually cuts out like this, however all in one color. So, I stamped my sentiment, cut it out of white, then cut one from black and put them together. I love how it worked out.    I sure hope you do as well.   Thanks for stopping by, and if you have any questions just ask them in the comment section, then you will have to come back for your answer though as Blogger does not give me a way to reply directly to you.

Here is the sketch, and you can find the challenge here:

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.
