Birthday Balloons


This card entry is for 2 challenges.  The color challenge is from Color Throw Down & the sketch challenge is from retro sketches.



I began my creation on a piece of Basic Grey cardstock.  The first layer is Regal Rose and the second layer is an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The stamped images are from the Up, Up & Away stamp set, and are matted onto Kiwi Kiss.  I used Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss & Basic Black stamp pads.  The 'birthday wishes' sentiment is from the So Happy for You stamp set, that has been matted onto some Regal Rose patterened paper.
 
Here is the sketch and color combo:
 

 
Thank you for stopping by!

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:

For this weeks CASE study challenge, I used a variety of papers and embellishments.  Michaels was having a 30% off sale on many of their stickers, so a bought a pile and used some in this card.   I used many layers of paper with a variety of patterns along with die cuts & embellishments from Martha Stewart to Stampin' Up! and Creative Memories. Happy Sunday! Alyson
