#SSINKCS32: Card Sketch Challenge

Hello! Bree provided us with a fun sketch for this month's challenge at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.

I took a little creative liberty with the challenge, because I didn't want my flowers to overshadow my greeting.

This was the first time that I inked up Crazy About You, which I stamped the flower in Daffodil Delight classic ink on Daffodil Delight card stock. I then used the coordinating Flower Medallion punch to cut it out. I was going to add some vellum butterflies, but I liked the simplicity of just a single flower image. I did feel like it needed an extra pop so I added the Perfect Plum Regals Candy Dot.

The base is Watermelon Wonder. I really didn't like this color when it was released, but it has really grown on me. The green patterned layer, as well as the banner that I stamped the Happy Birthday on are both from Going Places Designer Series Paper stack. The larger banner is Pear Pizzaz card stock. The banners were created using the Banner Triple punch. The happy birthday is from That Thing You Did and is stamped in Watermelon Wonder classic ink.

#SSINKCC31: March Color Challenge

I might be biased, but I think this is a pretty awesome color challenge. If you think so too, you should play along with us at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration! If you don't blog, you can also post to Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, etc using #SSINKCC31.

I may or may not be a little behind on mailing out birthday cards, so I'm trying to get caught up. I love the font of the Happy Birthday in the new set, That Thing You Did. I also pulled out an old favorite that I haven't inked up in awhile, Blended Bloom. I embossed the flower with Winter White embossing powder using Versamark and my Heat Tool. 

Of these three colors, Lost Lagoon is my favorite. To make the layer stand out a bit more, I used the Boho Chic textured impressions embossing folder. In addition to stamping the greeting in Rich Razzleberry classic ink on the Pink Pirouette card base, I also added three Rich Razzleberry Brights candy dots. 

#SSINKCC30: Color Challenge

Greetings! As I type this it is nice and sunny outside, but I have a feeling that by the time you are reading this, the weather will have changed back to winter. Welcome to Kansas!

Today at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration we are featuring our monthly color challenge. These colors could be used for Valentine's, Spring, or anything your heart desires! I used them to create a Thinking of You card.
