Thursday Challenge - CCMC807

Spring is in the air - I'm feeling it! Even though I know winter will try to take another shot or two at us, I'm ready for new growth, flowers, planting my garden (not, yet, but I'm planning!) and warmer weather. With that in mind, I made a Spring-y card for this week's Thursday sketch challenge.

Today is the last day of Sale-A-Bration, and the Delightfully Eclectic 12 x 12 (48 sheets!) DSP used on this card is one of the items you can get with a $50 purchase. Yes, it is available in the annual catalog, but after SAB, it's going to cost you $30. Wouldn't you rather get it for free?

A 1/4" strip of Distressed Gold joins the DSP and Garden Green (on which I stamped the splatters with VersaMark). For the flower bouquet I pulled out a bundle I haven't used in a while - Quiet Meadow. After die cutting the flower sprigs from watercolor paper, I used a water painter and Melon Mambo, Bubble Bath, and Garden Green to add the color.

The white scalloped die cut (from Thoughtful Expressions) was embossed with the Basics 3D folder and adhered to the card, with the flowers and greeting popped up. A Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon bow ties the bouquet together.

Global Design Project Color Challenge #389

Since I don't have several of the stamp sets that the Stamp Review Crew are featuring this month and I had some free time on my hands, I decided to play along with the Global Design Project Challenge #389, featuring the colors of Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Tahitian Tide. Such yummy, bright colors to play with!

I chose the Season of Chic bundle because I knew I could make something with those flowers and the grid background. I started by blending Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie on a piece of white cardstock to use as a background, then blending Tahitian Tide on a scrap for die cutting the grid. They were popped up over a white mat adhered to the Tahitian Tide card base.

The filler flowers were inked with Daffodil Delight and a Sponge Dauber was used to add Pumpkin Pie to the centers before stamping. The outlines were stamped in Pumpkin Pie. Then all I needed were a few die cut leaves and some Daffodil Delight Loose Frosted Drops to complete the card. Oh, and the sentiment of course. 😊

Beautifully Happy About Sale-A-Bration

Here is another card using the Beautifully Happy stamp set on page 13 of the SAB brochure. I started by blending Mango Melody lightly on some Basic White cardstock, then embossed it with the new Cane Weave 3D folder (pg. 31 J-A mini). It was trimmed down and matted on another piece of Basic White, then adhered to the Fresh Freesia card base.

The flowers and bee were stamped in Basic Gray. This time I used the filler stamps instead of coloring the flowers with Blends. It sure goes a lot quicker! After coloring the bee (I did use Blends on it) everything was fussy cut and popped up on the Cane Weave background.

The greeting is from Go To Greetings and was die cut with one of the Something Fancy Dies (pg. 15 J-A mini). All in all, a fairly quick and easy card!
