Happy Sunday my crafty friends….. I’ve had tons of time this weekend playing in the haven and boy does it feel good to create. I’m joining a few challenges this week. So come along for the ride and enjoy!
I love the sketch that Kim created over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog this week… I knew I wanted a dramatic look and this Washi tape I had in my stash has a geometric sort of dramatic look about it…..
I used a Neenah black top-fold A2 card base and adhered the strips of Washi onto the card base. I knew the exact image I needed to draw your eye to the background. I stamped a few images from my recent purchase MFT Delicate Pretty Poppies stamp and colored the flower and leaves image with various copic markers and cut out with my Brother Scan-N-Cut.
To finish my card I adhered the flower and leaves images on top of the Washi strips. I used the SSS Painted Hello Die for my sentiment and gave it an ombre look by using my copic markers. I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the center of the flower and a few Nuvo Crystal Drops and it’s a rap for this card.

For this card I stamped my image and copic colored it on Neenah Solar White cardstock and cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I wanted my background to look like a funny bar scene so I chose some pattern papers from the Echo Park Party Time 12×12 paper collection.

I finished this card off by adhering it onto an A2 Top-Fold card base.

Happy Sunday my crafty friends…. I’ve been playing a lot this weekend in the haven. I’m entering a few challenges this week. I decided to play along over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog and first time over at The Color Throwdown. The colors on my flowers played right into the colors this week over at Color Throwdown (Dark Pink, Pale Pink, Green, White). This weeks sketch made it so easy for my creation. I knew I wanted to make another card with the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet. I’ve fallen in love with that stamp set.
I stamped and colored the florals in the stamp set with various copic markers on a stitched square Neenah Solar White cardstock.
I found a piece of scrap Neenah cardstock on my desk and took the broad tip of my copic markers and made a few diagonal stripes the same colors as my image and separated the colors with my EK Success journal pen to give the strip a dramatic effect.
I mounted the panel on a 5×5 square base of Neenah Solar White 110 (lb) cardstock. I added a few embellishments with my Nuvo Crystal drops and Clear Wink of Stella to the florals to finish off my card.

I have that song in my head by Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Summer Time …. I just love that song it reminds me of summer days growing up as a kid when life was simple. What time is it! It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday.
For this weeks board I chose the middle row down: Summer, Die-Cut, Pattern Paper. I have a pretty easy card for you this week thanks to the SSS July card kit. I chose one of the pattern papers from the Echo Park Summer Dreams collection and adhered it to an A2 top-fold Neenah Solar White card base.
I die-cut a white stitched rectangle out of Neenah and adhered it on top of the pattern paper. I die cut another rectangle out of the SSS lemon chiffon yellow cardstock that was part of the kit and adhered it on stop of the white panel. I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx black ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it dimension. I wanted a fun pattern for the bikini and the blue pattern paper was a hit against the yellow cardstock. I added a few of the moonstone sequins to finish the card.
Thank you for stopping by this week to see my card for this weeks Tic Tac Toe challenge……. Hope to see you in the gallery.

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!
