DCBD Challenge 121

One last Challenge for today. I tried the Diva Coffee Break sketch challenge and you can check out all the info about this challenge here! I'm not quite as late on this one they post their challenge on Wednesday, so I'm not doing too bad. A lot of these ladies are in a great SU! yahoo group that I'm apart of, it's a wonderful place for SU product talk and lots of project inspiration. It's called LNS, check it out if you get a chance and if you decide to give it a try be sure to let them know I sent you!




I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets on this card, Lovely as a Tree, it's been in Stampin Up! line for a long time and I'm terrified they will be retiring it! I hope not but just in case if you don't already have the set you should get it soon! This was a great sketch, I didn't really think I liked it all that much when I first looked at but as I worked it really grew on me. It made a very pretty card. All the product on the card is current Stampin Up! product except the DSP, it is the paper that was on SAB just past, very pretty stuff. All the rest of the details for the card will be listed in the Card detail area.

Card Details:

• Card size - 4-1/4 X 5-1/2
• Stamp Set - Lovely as a Tree and Hugs & Wishes
• Paper - Basic Grey, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, SAB DSP
• Ink - Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, So Saffron Stampin Write Marker

That's it for today three posts, I'm tired. I should have posted some of these for later in the week but I was all ready late for all the challenges so I wanted to get this entered as soon as possible. Thank you so much for stopping by and let me know if there is anything I can help you with to get you stampin!

Long time no see!! Here are the last of the cards I made up with the bouncing brayer technique that I tried back at the end of August. I had made the backgrounds at that time and stamped the Lovely as a Tree images but had made them into cards until last night! I thought this turned out very nicely and seem very elegant. I can think of lots of people who might enjoy these cards, both man or woman!

Thanks for looking everyone, I'll try to do better posting more regularly so don't give up on me!!

Lovely as a Tree

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I've been so busy at work and with card making I fell behind in getting a project posted for Monday. So without further excuse making this card uses the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. This set has such beautiful images! I CASEed this card from SCS and again forgot who's gallery I pulled it from. I'm going to do a better job of watching out for that information so that I can thank that person on the blog (note to self....lol). I was drawn to this card because I have noticed people using double background stamps, making really beautiful cards and wanted to give that a try. On this one I used Linen and Wild Hearts both stamped in Almost Artichoke (one of my FAVORITE colors). I used the Marvy Giga punch for the scallop out of Almost Artichoke and nested the LAAT image on confetti white on to the scallop. Added a strip of wide white organdy ribbon and a organdy bow. So pretty!

Thanks for looking! See you tomorrow.
