Razzleberry Hello

Happy Friday!

Today's creation is for a girlfriend of mine that I don't get to see that often.  Her favorite color is purple so right away I knew it would find a happy home.

The layout is inspired by this week's SCS Sketch Challenge #430, 

the color-combo is from the Color Throwdown #236 to use  

Always Artichoke, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry & Orchid Opulence.  

(I substituted and used SU! Certainly Celery, and Orchid from TPS).

 

I also decided to play along again this week at the

 Timeless Tuesday Challenge #214 to Wrap It With Ribbon (2 ribbons).

For some reason, these colors proved to definitely be a challenge for me.  It really took me a while to decide what colors the mats would be...and decided to add black in there to make it all pop.

Card Deets:

Cardstock:  SU! Certainly Celery, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, and Orchid by TPS.

DP:  SU! Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper

Stamps:  Image by Inkadinkado, Sentiment by Heidi Grace

Inks:  SU! Old Olive, Memento Tuxedo Black, Dew Drops & Prisma

Ribbons:  SU! So Saffron Grosgrain, SU! Rich Razzleberry Polka-Dot Grosgrain.

Other:  Pearls by Want2Scrap, button, white craft-string and foam adhesives.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a great weekend!

Thinking of You

Hi everyone!

Today's card is a very special one.  

It's for a neighbor/friend of ours that lost her 21 year old son 

(my son's best friend) last year on Aug. 9th due to a car accident.

I wanted to create something special for her to let her know that I'm thinking about her...hoping this small gesture might brighten her day.

The layout was inspired by this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #181, and the color combo is for this week's Color Q Challenge #183 to use Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride. 

(I substituted using SU! Pink Pirouette and TPS Coral).

This pretty flower image is from Verve "Because of You" set, and I popped it up using foam-adhesives.

Card Deets:

Cardstock:  SU! Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette and Coral from TPS.

DP:  SU! "Thoroughly Modern", and Colorbok "Splendor".

Stamps:  Flower by Verve "Because of You", Sentiment from Heidi Grace.

Inks:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Dew Drops, Rubber Stampede and Prisma Watercolor Pencils.

IN LOVING MEMORY:

Midshipman U.S. Naval Academy

Spread Your Wings

Happy Wednesday!

Today's card was a fun one!  I was able to submit it for 3 challenges:

1) SCS Color Challenge #420

to use Real Red, So Saffron & Pool Party. 

I substituted and used Rose Red & Baja Breeze.

2) The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #204

3) Clearly Inspired Challenge #71 Anything Goes

This sweet little image and sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps "Playful Pixies" set.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black, then colored her in with Prisma Watercolor Pencils.  I should've used liquid-glass on her wings, but opted for some Icicle Stickles with white glitter.

Card Deets:

Cardstock:  SU! Rose Red, So Saffron, Baja Breeze, white

DP:  Colorbok "Rhapsody"

Stamp:  Clear Dollar Stamps "Playful Pixies"

Inks:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Prisma Watercolor Pencils

Mojo Birthday Blues

 
Happy Tuesday!

The layout is inspired by this week's Mojo Monday #287.

I ended up creating this one for my sis-in-law's upcoming birthday.  She is a no-frills, no pink, no lace, no bling kinda girl.

I did however, decide to use a Bazzill Flower tucking it underneath so it peeks out.  With these colors and the no-frills, am pretty sure this is her type of card.

Card Deets:

Cardstock:  SU! Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, kraft

DP:  Colorbok "Rhapsody"

Stamp:  SU! Best of Birthdays

Inks:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Prisma Watercolor Pencils

Other:  Bazzill Whirlpool Blossoms, Pearls by Want2Scrap, Spellbinder Rose Creations, button, twine and foam adhesives.

Clean & Simple Cupcake

Hey there!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Today's card is for the CAS(E) This Sketch #21 (Clean and Simple).

Believe it or not, it's not as "simple" as I thought it would be, as I love to junk-it-up LOL!  I really had to hold myself back from adding too many embellishments or colorful papers.

I recently received my SU! goodies, and couldn't wait to use my new stamp set: SU! Best of Birthdays.

This lil' stamp is just adorable and I inked it with Memento Tuxedo Black, then colored it in using my SU! Blending Pen along with SU! Old Olive, and other chalks by Studio G.

 

If you're looking for some inspiration for a Clean And Simple creation, here's the sketch: 

 

 

Card Deets:

Cardstock:  SU Whisper White, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip & So Saffron

DP:  Colorbok: Splendor

Stamp:  SU Best of Birthdays

Inks:  SU Old Olive, Memento Tuxedo Black, other

Other:  Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, brown satin-ribbon, button and foam-adhesives.
