DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #192 - Color My World

It's time for the weekly DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  Today it is a  "Color My World" challenge.

 

 

 



This card has flowers and a bit of bling, all a girl needs on her birthday.  I love the Irresistibly Floral Speciality DSP, you can leave it white or add color with one of our wonderful Stampin Pads.  This was so easy I cut the DSP and sponged on Sweet Sugarplum -- one of the new in-colors.  The embossed flowers and swirls are stunning.  I added a bit of Wink of Stella on the jewels from the  July 2016 What A Gem Paper Pumpkin kit.  I participate in many swaps each month and this card is made for an upcoming sketch swap on Swap-Bot.  Tomorrow this gem is going to Florida.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Mint Macaron, Island Indigo, and Whisper White

Stamp/s: What a Gem ( July 2016 Paper Pumpkin)

Ink: Island Indigo, Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron

Punches: Banner Triple Punch

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Sketch Pad Challenge" inspired by the sketch below.

   

 

 

I kept this card very simple to follow the sketch that I adore.  Finally used some of the vellum I got during Sal-A-Bration, I love the images on the vellum.  Maybe  it comes back in other patterns, perhaps for the holidays.   I hope this heat is getting better for most of you, we are at about normal here in North Texas averaging in the mid 90's.  My grass is starting to turn brown, boo hoo, hope we get rain soon.

Card Sketch Monday - Paper and Ink Sketches #1

Hello - 
Last week I participated in the inaugural Paper and Ink Sketches challenge hosted by Angie Juda on Facebook.  I have admired Angie's creativity for years and I was so happy to be part of her first sketch challenge.  This challenge was clean and simple, just the way I like them. 

 

I stayed true to the sketch as did many others that posted their creations on Facebook.   It is a great way to use up bits of DSP and ribbon that are hanging around.  Instead of ribbon you could add a coordinating paper border and create a bow with the Bow Builder Punch.  You could even add a matching envelope made with the Envelope Punch Board.  I used the Perfect Pairings stamp set for my sentiments, but any sentiment would work on this card. 

I had so much fun making one card that I ended up making six.  I am working on a little box for them as I plan to gift this set to a dear friend and school teacher.  You can check out the other Paper and Ink Sketches cards here on FB.
