The newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash is a Color Challenge.
I started with a kraft card base and added several leaf groupings and a butterfly from Blossom Acetate Leaves from 49 and Market.
I finished with an Impress Every Day Words Sentiment stamped in the darker shade of rose/red.
I needed to restock some sympathy cards, so I started with one of the brick stenciled backgrounds I believe I made last year during my Alabama crafty getaway using pigment powders and sprayed water my stencil.
I die cut it with the Dare 2B Artzy Rectangle Slimline Die Cut, so I could get two panels from my stenciled piece. I then cut them a second time to shorten the panels for an A2 card size.
For the first one I paired it with some 49 and Market Color Swatch Blossom Acetate Leaves and an acetate butterfly.
I die cut the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Inside Sentiments Comfort, so I could nestle it into the panel.
I'm linking-up at the Simon Says: Anything Goes Challenge and the Inkspirational Use Stencils Challenge.
For the second card, I die cut the Memory Box Pretty Blossom Stem from Sage Cardstock and then a second time from Light Pink Cardstock for the blooms.
I added some white pearls to the flower sentiments and finished with a sentiment from Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments using the same die cutting process to add it to the stenciled panel.
I'm linking-up at the Just Us Girls Anything Goes Stencil Challenge and the Creatalicious Anything Goes Challenge with an Optional theme of Pastels.
When I saw the newest Sketch Challenge at AAA Cards, I knew I wanted to use some of my gorgeous 49th and Market Fabric Tape.
Only one problem, the gorgeous 49th and Market Alena floral tape I wanted to use was too wide to work with the sketch. I attached a strip of the paper to thin cardstock, so I could cut the tape into two pieces.
I overlaid smaller pieces of the texty tape for a bit more visual interest, making sure the butterflies were still visible.
I added a fun little sentiment from Rabbit Hole Designs Sassy Birthday 2.
I'm also joining the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Snarky Challenge.
And Seize the Birthday is featuring Spring Florals.
When I saw the Sketch at Global Design Project, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to showcase more of the gorgeous 49 and Market Plum Grove papers that were still on my studio table (yes, I'm that person who doesn't put things away when I'm finished).
I cut one of the more solid papers into 4 1/4" square for the base, and then cut another floral design into 1 3/4" squares grounding them with some purple cardstock.
I wanted the paper to shine, so I stayed simple with the rest of the design adding some ephemera and a sticker sentiment from {a vintage girl} & her daughter typewriter phrases.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the challenge theme at Little Red Wagon (cards with three different elements). I've got squares, ephemera and a typewriter sentiment.
This afternoon I cut into the gorgeous Plum Grove papers from 49 and Market (which I just saw were designed by a favorite artist Katie Pertiet).
I used the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch and a vintage wood mounted sentiment that fit into the allowed space.
I started today's card with inspiration from the TGIF Gratitude Inspiration Challenge.
I used kraft inspired by the woodgrain and Vintage Artistry Serenity Washi Tape from 49 and Market for the flowers.
I added a sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps set for the Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2023 event.
I'm also joining the Simon Says Stamp Thanks/Thanksgiving Challenge.
Vintage Artistry Serenity Ephemera from 49 & Market are so lovely ... and they were perfect for my birthday card.
I created my collage on top of one of my gelliprints.
I'm linking-up at the Simon Says Flowers Challenge. With my pretty butterfly, I'm also joining the Little Red Wagon Things that Fly! Challenge.
