Hiya and Happy Tuesday everyone! Did ya miss me? LOL!! Hope you all had a great Spring Break holiday & Easter! Boy, did we have a great time in Hilton Head Island, SC--I didn't want to come home, hee hee! It was sunny & 78 degrees everday and I love, love to be around water (ocean, lakes, marshes)--I find it sooo calming! Hopefully my break has revved up my creative mojo juices so I can get back to work this week! I'll share some more details of my trip & some pictures with you tomorrow! I'm typing this up at 1 am after a 10 hour drive home, so I'm exhausted but totally dedicated to you---so I had to post these projects for ya!!! :o)
Since its Tuesday, that means it's also "Try It Out Tuesday" for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design store! Make sure and stop by the store blog, Follow Your Heart to see the rest of the DT's projects too! I challenged the DT to a double dare--a sketch & color challenge this week. You can see the sketch over on the store blog & the colors were "Neapolitan Ice Cream"--YUM! (ya know, pink, brown & white/cream) I made three fun projects for this week's challenge!
The first project is a card and a fun keychain, bag tag or whatever you'd like it to be!! I used one of my cute Smirk stamps (only $3.95 each & NOW 30% off too) for both and the dp is all from SU.
I bought these cute lil' unfinished mini-clipboards at AC Moore (2 in a pack for $1) and knew I'd use them eventually! I decided to make a fun keychain/bag tag with mine to match my card!
This is my sketch challenge card--boy, I really love these colors together, so pretty! The flowers are Petaloo and the rhinestones are Kaiser. Aren't these lil' girl friends the cutest--I just love 'em!
Second card I made for the sketch/color challenge uses the Lockhart stamp "Violet Cupcake". Of course I made the flowers pink, but isn't that just the prettiest lil' stamp! The dp on this card is a mix of DCWV "Sweet" dp & PTI dp. If you look closely, you'll see that the pink cs is embossed--I did that with the new Spellbinders Impressabilities (flowers). These are just gorgeous to use, so make sure and check them out--there are alot of fun things that can be done with them (embossing, stenciling, cutting)! The embellies are PTI ribbon & Bella Baubles in Copper!
