Another Swirly Scribbles

I hope you aren't getting tired of this set - I certainly am not!!  The CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to use navy, pink, and white.  Perfect for a crisp and clean card!

I paired a sentiment from Watercolor Wishes with flowers and leaves from Catherine Pooler's Lovely Notes.  I added white and clear beadies to the center of the flowers for a little shine. 

Come play along with us at Words 2 Craft By for our latest challenge!!

Lovely Notes Wreath

I pulled out my Lovely Notes collections, and came up with this:

Three colors of green ink for the wreath.  I fussy cut the bird ornament and hung him with stash twine.  Stampin' Up sentiment.  Ahhh!  My kind of Christmas card!  Plenty of time to play along with our Words 2 Craft By Small Hearts, Large Gratitude challenge!!

Hospitality Pineapples

Always Playing with Paper has a photo inspiration this week:

I don't know about you, but pineapples always make me think about the warmth and generosity of visiting a friend. 

Painted Thanks and Friend from Catherine Pooler's Lovely Notes.  I layered the Paper Studio foiled paper with orange and metallic gold. 

CAS-ual Fridays Dimension and Bling

I tried this one a few times, and am not entirely happy with the outcome, but I can live with it!  :)

I don't often make square cards, but this wreath panel screamed for one!  I stamped the Lovely Notes wreath in Venetian Orange and Sepia, then embellished with gold, silver, and copper nail heads.  I die cut the Thanks 3x in gold and pumpkin, edged the panel with gold leaf, and popped it up with dimensionals.  I added the rhinestone leaves to the corners for balance.

I'm sharing this one with CAS-ual Fridays!

Blending Colors

This the color inspiration this week at the Color Throwdown:

Here is my version:

The background stamp and sentiment are from the Lovely Notes collection from Stamp of Approval.  I heat embossed the background in clear, and then used Distress Inks Stormy Sky and Scattered Straw.  Not sure I love the twine, though.  Too thin, maybe?

Bordered Sentiment II

This week's Mod Squad challenge is to use a bordered sentiment without flowers. Here is another take on the challenge:

I have a lot going on here.  The delicate circle die is from my Lovely Notes box, the centers were from another die cut I inked with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and used on another project.  The vertical sentiment is from Unity.  The dotted background was made using a stamp from Lovely Notes and stamped with Chipped Sapphire.
