Happy Saturday, everyone!!  This week's Inspiration Challenge is all about designer paper.  I chose a turquoise polka dot pattern from the ODBD Boho Bolds Paper Collection, cut it to 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 (same size as my card base), then centered and nested two dies from the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.  The outside (leftover) rectangle was adhered to the inside of my card (you can see it peeking out). The silhouette and scripture verse from 'Bon Voyage' were stamped in Stazon Jet Black, the sky was sponged with blue, magenta, and tangerine. The polka dot frame was popped up with foam tape; the flower cut from the ODBD Custom Hibiscus Dies and ODBD Custom Ferns Dies was popped up in the corner. Two blue gems were added for a simple embellishment.  I will also be submitting this to the Sunrise/Sunset Fan Club Theme Challenge.

Thanks again for visiting!

Have a very blessed weekend!!!

Happily Ever After

Hi, everyone! This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Kelly Acheson aka Technique_Freak....congrats, Kelly!  I chose this gorgeous wedding card (the one on the left) to case today due to the clean layout and cool heart cut-out design.  For the top layer of my card, I chose a subtle pattern from the ODBD 'Wedding Wishes' Paper Collection, cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies and ODBD Custom Tulip Heart Die. The tiny heart was cut out with the ODBD Custom Layering Hearts Dies and the sentiment is from 'Long Lasting Love'.  The satin bow was tied using a Bow Easy. This was a very quick card to make....yay! I will also be submitting this card for this month's Fan Club theme of Sunrise/Sunset, for the 'new beginnings' angle.

Thanks for visiting!

Thankful Daisies!

Hello there!  Today I would like to share a birthday card which I made for a dear friend.....this "Daisy" stamp from Our Daily Bread designs is my go-to stamp for so many cards....I love it!!  After stamping the daisy image, I covered it with a mask (which I cut out from scratch paper), then sponged a soft purple around the outside edges to give it a bit of a glow. The rest was colored with markers.  The sentiment is from "God Loves You" (retired set).  Another fave of mine is the "ODBD Fence Die"  ....I use it every chance I get!  I will be submitting this card to the Central Theme "Gratitude" Challenge...a Fan Club Members Only challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
