Paper Pieced Owl Card

I hope everyone is having a lovely day! Here is my last card for this month. This Paper Pieced Owl Card is full of rich earth tones. The patterned paper is from the Edamame collection from K & Company. This paper has been in my stash for awhile. When I like something a lot, sometimes I don't use it. I hoard it away for "something special".  However, this paper was perfect for the card design. The patchwork design is based off a quilt. I wanted something different, something that you don't see everyday. It's still simple with no fussy details and the paper pieced owl deserves all the attention.  Thanks for stopping by!

My Paper Pieced Owl Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Paper Piecing
• Cute Card Thursday: Something Old
• Charisma Cardz: 5 Patterned Papers
• DL.ART: Birds... Anything to do with Birds

 

 

Betsy's Blossoms Hello Card

This morning I had no intentions of making a card today, but then I found a color challenge that changed my mind. The challenge comes from Sunday Stamps and the colors are: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, and Basic Black. When I paused to think about this challenge, I realized I'd never made a card with just these colors before. The design for this Betsy's Blossoms Hello Card is fairly basic, it's the details that add interest. Twine, rhinestones, and the cute little bird help to liven things up on this card. Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by!

Monochromatic Teal Blue Card

To find inspiration for a card creation, I frequently search other blogs and Feline Playful for current challenges. There are numerous challenges on a daily basis to find the perfect creative inspiration. Tonight my inspiration comes from the Dynamic Duos Challenge to use Island Indigo and Pool Party which makes it a monochromatic teal blue colour scheme. I really enjoyed working with both these colours and couldn't wait to share my Monochromatic Teal Blue Card on my blog. I'd like to thank Vicki Burdick for inspiring me to use a new sentiment stamp from the Vintage Verses stamp set available during Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration.  The stamp looks great with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder that I inked up with Island Indigo. To finish off the card I heat embossed the bitty butterfly with Pool Party embossing powder and added a few basic jewels for a little sparkle. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I hope you like it too. Well, I hope you have a wonderful night/day and thanks for stopping by!!!
