Thanks So Much

This is my entry for the Colourq challenge.

I started off with a Crumb Cake card base, which I embossed using the stripes textured impressions embossing folder die.  I used Old Olive for the as a base center mat followed by some pretty designer series paper ( i'm not sure of the name, but it's Stampin' Up!).  I stamped the image using a retired stamp from Stampin' Up! and matted it on More Mustard.  For the sentiment I used the Lots of Tags
 Sizzix die cut.  For the finishing touches I used the 3/16" corner punch, some Walnut stain to warm up the edges,  Red Cobbler colored flower button, and some rustic twine.

   Until next time! 
Alyson

Gold Star

This is my entry for the Mojo Monday challlenge.  This has been a very busy week, with working 2 jobs, weight training, and writing a final exam, I have had very little time to relax and craft.  I was unable to come up with my own idea and cased this card from Teresa Kline/Paperie Blooms .  Now that I am done my course I have a little more free time. Until next time.

Summer Smooches

Today I am entering my card in two different challenges.  I always like to pick a color challenge with a sketch challenge. I chose the color combo from  Colour Q #130 and the sketch from  Just-Add-Ink . I love this new stamp set Summer Smooches, that will be available April 01-30.  It's super cute a quite versatile. I began my creation a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock.  The first layer is Certainly Celery and measures 4" x 5 1/4".  The second layer is an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock and measures 3 3/4" x 5".  I stamped the tulips using Melon Mambo, and the other image using Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Daffodil delight. Here are the sketch and colors:
