Discover Your Wings - Inspiration Challenge

Good Evening!
Well today has been CRAZY! With snow that is! I can't believe the snow we have gotten in the past day...it's unreal! It looks like we have had winter for months and not 24 hours...lol
Other than digging out today I didn't go anywhere. So I stamped this evening after getting our Christmas tree up!!! Chloe did a fabulous job. Usually I am picky with what goes on the tree and where but this year I thought I'd let her take control.
Saturdays mean an Inspiration Challenge on SCS and I chose to use this piece here.
I gave brayering a shot....as you can see I need to practice a bit more...
This is a new set from Taylored Expressions called Discover Your Wings.

Stamps: Discover Your Wings; Cardstock: Black, Kiwi Kiss, White; Inks: Black, Kiwi, Soft Sky, Baja Breeze; Accessories: Brayer, Stickles, Dimensionals

Challenge Cards

Good Morning!

We have received a large dump of snow this weekend and that means I don't go out! LOL!

It also means that I can stay home and STAMP!

Yesterday I found Julee had posted a cool Verve Release Sketch Challenge on the Verve blog and I REALLY wanted to play along! So I used the same basic supplies to create these next two cards.

Cool Caribbean, Pumpkin Pie, WW and MME Bloom & Grow DP

Floral Whimsy Stamp Set.

This card was made using the Weekend Sketch Challenge 71 that I found on Beate's Blog. It was also made for the Inspiration Challenge 170 on SCS. I chose the second picture that was posted.

Earlier this week I'd received the newest H & M Stamps and really wanted to play with this set called Eggstra Special that was designed by Debbie Corbari.

Stamps: Eggstra Special; Card Stock: White, Saffron, Choc chip, Pumpkin pie and Summer Picnic dp; Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Celery; Accessories: Copics, Wavy Border punch, Circle punches, Choc satin ribbon, Designer label punch, dimensionals

Just Peachy...

Good Sunday Morning!

It's Georgia Peach DP day! LOL! All three cards use it ;)

I started out working on the Inspiration Challenge(card at the bottom) and then figured I'd just keep working with the Georgia Peach dp. It's such an awesome designer paper.

My first card uses Jen's sketch. I recently received the new MFT stamps and really wanted to use one of them! I altered the sketch a little to fit my image. Don't you think this DP works well with this snowmen stamp?? Cute eh?!

Stamps: A Scarf for Three; Cardstock: Old Olive, So Saffron, Regal Rose, Shimmery White and Georgia Peach DP; Inks: Adirondack Black; Accessories: Copics, Circle Punches, Heidi Swapp Snowflakes, Dimensionals

Have you been to Taylor's Blog lately? She released some new stamps the other day. I ordered them and can't wait to get them but in the meantime I wanted to play with her sketch. I used some of my favourite cupcake stamps by Inkadinkado.

Stamps: Inkadinkado Birthday Cupcakes; Cardstock: Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Old Olive, Shimmery White and Georgia Peach DP; Inks: Adirondack Black; Accessories: Copics, Circle Punches, Misc Buttons, Linen Thread, White Brads, Dimensionals

Saturday's there is an Inspiration Challenge on SCS. Normally I shy away from these ones but figured why not give it a go~! THIS is the piece I chose to use. I WOULD have used my Flight of the Butterfly IF I had found it but it's still missing :(

Stamps: Garden Whimsy; Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Regal Rose, Shimmery White and Georgia Peach DP; Inks: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose; Accessories: SU! scalloped edge punch, Mat pack and paper piercer, 5/8" Regal rose ribbon, Dimensionals
