Fusion #6

Hello! I am trying my hand at the Fusion Hypothesis Challenge again! Here is the inspiration photo and sketch for this week:

And here is my card:

This time I tried combining the sketch and the inspiration photo. I used Avery Elle's Knotty set and various SU inks and papers to approximate the colors I was seeing in the photo (Melon Mambo, So Saffron, Calypso Coral and Basic Gray).

This card had nothing to do with the challenge, but I also made it the same day so I thought I would share it too!

 

The stamps are from Lawn Fawn's Sunny Skies and the DP is from Echo Parks Sweet Girl 6x6 pad. I created the sky with Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I thought I would share a few Mother's Day cards I made today. Some are the one's I made for my mother, grandmother, mother-in-law and step-mom, and some are ones that I sent to Operation Write Home.  Several of them used past sketches from CAS(E) this Sketch as a starting point.

Have a wonderful day!

CAS(E) this Sketch #27

I am just loving playing in challenges lately!! Today I have made a card for the CAS(E) this Sketch #27 challenge.

 

I hope it is OK, but I turned the elements of the sketch on their side without turning the orientation of the card.

I used the Avery Elle stamp set Lots of Love for the big sentiment. The small "missing you" is from an old Stampin Up set called So Many Sayings, that I cut apart. The DP is My Minds Eye Collectible Unforgettable and the wood typewriter is from Studio Calico. This, like most of the cards I have made lately, is going to Operation Write Home.

Thanks for visiting me today!

ColourQ 188

Hello! I have a card to share today that I made for this week's ColourQ Challenge.

 

I used PTI's Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie Additions and the sentiment is from PTI's Mini Blooms. I also used the Rosie Posie dies. On my first attempt I tried using Calypso Coral for the shading on the Blush flowersbut it was just way too dark, even with some off stamping. For my final version I stamped the shadows using the same color as I used on the flowers and leaves.

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Surfin' Fusion 5

Hi! I had time to try another challenge this week - the Fusion (Hypothesis 5) Challenge!  You can choose to try the sketch, be inspired by the photo, or combine them both. I have not managed to combine them both yet - my first two tries were inspired by the photo and this time the sketch called to me!

 

And here is my card:

 

 

I used The Greeting Farm's Surfer Ian, AmyR Beach Sentiments and paper from Bo Bunny's Barefoot and Bliss pad.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch #26

Hiya! Here I am with another sketch attempt. I love this little hippo, and am pretty happy with how he and his little friend turned out, but I think my attempt at the sketch may be too basic. I wish my brain had come up with a more creative take on it. Here is the sketch (from CAS(E) this Sketch):

 

And here is my card:

 

I used the Avery Elle stamp set HipsterPotamus, a strip of paper from Basic Grey and some Ranger black enamel.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

ColourQ 187 Challenge

Hello! I have made a card today for the ColourQ challenge. These colors were HARD for me! I am pretty sure it is the light purple and pink together! What colors do you have a hard time putting on the same card?

This is the inspiration photo:

 

And here is my card:

 

I used PTI's Happiness in Bloom (sprayed liberally with water before stamping) and A Hero Arts sentiment.
