I’ve spent so much time over the holiday weekend playing with paper and it’s no exception this morning I put the finishing touches on my card for the challenge over at The Paper Players.
For my card today I went with the Congratulations theme. I stamped the SSS Floral Bliss floral image with Versamark ink and heat embossed with SSS Ultra Fine Gold EP on a sheet of pink 6×6 pattern paper from the Echo Park Wedding Bliss paper collection that was included in the June 2017 SSS Card kit. I really love this kit the papers and stamp set are perfect for wedding cards
I picked the black floral pattern paper and added a strip of gold foil paper to draw your eyes too the stamped image on the muted pink paper.
I heat embossed the congratulations sentiment on a strip of black cardstock with the same SSS Ultra Fine Gold EP and adhered it on the card with foam tape to give it dimension. I added a few embellishments with the Nuvo Glitter Drops in Honey Gold to finish off the card and adhered it to a top-fold Neenah Solor white card base.
Thank you for stopping bye to check out my design for this weeks theme challenge over at The Paper Players!

Happy Sunday eve……. I’ve been playing like crazy this weekend in the haven. It started on Friday evening I sat down to work on a card for the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.
For my card, I started by stamping and coloring several of the flower and leaves from the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet stamp with various copic markers. After coloring I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the flowers and leaves.
I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out I arranged the flowers and leaves on a square stitched panel and die-cut a rectangle piece of black patterned paper from an old Authentique Collection called Foundation.
I cut a thin strip of SU Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to just make the image pop and wowzer!!! I love this new In-Color form SU it brings out the color in the leaves. I added some Clear Wink of Stella and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ivory Seashell to the center of the flower for shimmer and a little accent . The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink from the same stamp set. I finished it off by adding a few of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink to add a little interest around the flower.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), Authentique: Foundation Collection, SU Lemon Lime Twist
Stamp: Avery Elle Floral Bouquet
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaFine Onyx Black, Copic Markers (RV21,23,25,29 YG21,23,25,17).

I hope you enjoy my take on the sketch.

Hello, Hello, Happy Thursday my crafty friends I had a chance to play in the haven a little over the weekend and of course you know I had too enter a few challenges. I’m playing over on the CAS(E) this Sketch blog this week. It’s been along time since I’ve been able to play on their site.
I went deep into the crafty closet and pulled out my Taylored Expression Wildflower Bouquet stamp set. I stamped several of the Wildflower Bouquet images onto Neenah Solar White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the images with various copic markers.
I then used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the image. I wanted the flowers to really stand out on my card. I die cut a piece of the patterned papers from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes 6×6 Petite Paper pack with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink from the same Wildflower Bouquet stamp.
I added some Clear Wink of Stella on he flowers but thank goodness you can’t see it I had a major oops! You how that is right and there was no turning back. This card was pretty easy to pull together…….. Hope you like my take on the sketch.

I stamped the flower from the Mama Elephant Butterfly Kisses set on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored the flowers with various Copic markers and cut it out with my Mama Elephant Butterfly Kisses Creative Cuts. I found some strips of old patterned papers from my stash and wow did it make a difference to my design.
I used my Sharpie Extra Fine Point water-based pen to add a few white dots on the flowers to give them some definition along with Clear Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle.
I added a few embellishments with my Nuvo Glitter Drops in Silver MoonDust along with silver twine that was adhered to the back of the flowers. Thank you for stopping by hope you like my take on this weeks Tic Tac Toe board.
