CS40S

It's Thursday! and its time for another ceative Challenge over @ Creative Sketches.  This week, we have a sketch challenge.  So, stop by the challenge blog and see what the rest of the design team have created, take a peak at the sketch and join us!

Here is my card:

I turned the sketch 90 degrees.  I also only used 3 stripes, instead of 4.  I used the returning 1/8" taffeta ribbon in Daffodil Delight.  My card base is Tangerine Tango cardstock.  The pattern paper is Beyond the Garden.  I used 2 different stamp sets:  Full of Life and Friends Never Fade .  I used my markers to color my stamp; Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, and Old Olive.  The floral and sentiment stamp were stamped on a already made tag.  I added a bow to the paper hole.  I wanted my card to have some sparkle, so I used vanilla smooch first, and then gold smooch.  The smooch actually watermarked the stamped image, giving it a distress look.  I'm happy with it!

Now it's your turn!  Create something and join our challenge!  Can't wait to see what you create!

Saturday's Open House

These are the cards you will make at my Open House on Saturday, May 8th. Please arrive between 12 noon and 3p, so you will have plenty of time to finish, and visit. I have two different cards, both with different techniques on purpose.

The first card, uses 4 different techniques, with a host of different products. I wanted a card that used alot of product and many different techniques.

The second card is a minimalist card - quick and easy. One layer, uses one stamp set & markers.

There is a supply fee of $5 to attend. Come out, make some cards, and see the new Stampin' Up! products in the Summer Mini catalog. You will use both clear mount and wood mount stamps, a stencil, some Smooch sprays, meet some wonderful ladies who like to paper craft, and be eligible to win a door prize!
