SQSC 37


Good morning, friends!  I'm still fighting off this ridiculous cold.  I'm leaving for Europe soon, so, I guess it's better now than while I'm away.  Today the weather is gloomy, so off to the craft room I go!





Today's card is inspired by the layout over at the Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge blog.  I have so many scraps of paper laying around and this was the perfect opportunity to use some of it.  I began with a Very Vanilla cardstock base.  The first layer is a piece of really pretty patterned paper, the second layer is also Very Vanilla.  For this layer I ran it through my Big Shot using a large polka dot embossing plate, then used my round scallop punch.  I inked the edges on this layer to give it a softer touch.  To finish this pretty card off, I added a paper butterfly with rhinestone, Pink buttons, a 'Thank You' sentiment and twine.

Thank You for stopping by!

    Alyson, I hope that you feel better before your journey to Europe.
    And your card is wonderful! I'm a big fan of using what you have, and scraps are wonderful! and so is your card! I just love how you punched the card stock to reveal both the pattern paper and give your butterfly a spot to sit.
    thank you for playing along with us SQSC

Today's card is inspired by two challenges, Create with Connie & Mary & Hand Stamped Sentiments .  I began on a piece of 3 x 6 Pool Party cardstock.  I really love this tone of blue.  The first layer is Pink Pirouette that has been run through my big shot, using the polka dot embossing folder.  I cut a banner using a piece of Regal Rose patterned paper then stamped it.  I also used some pretty designer paper, cut it into a banner, then added two clear rhinestones.  The center banner was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Grey ink.  I finished this card off with some gorgeous ruffled Pool Party ribbon (gotta get more of this, its amazing), a punched flower with a Rose colored button. Thank you for stopping by!  Alyson

Two Challenges and an Art Journal Page

Today's project post was made using the Mixed Media Monthly challenge ~ Spray Inks and Mists ~ along with this week's Colour Me challenge. These were the sprays I used to create the background on my canvas paper.   I just sprayed and swirled with my fingers until I was happy. Next, I did some stenciling and stamping in various spots. Once I was happy with that I used molding paste to create the heart and circles.  These were coloured in with the same sprays.  When I was happy with that I did some doodling and shading.  Finally, I added some brown spray around the edges, stamped the sentiment and added some rub-ons. Thank you for stopping by!  Please feel free to leave a comment :)

This is a set that we will be making at my 'It's Time for Spring' card class.  I chose two challenges for my creation.  The color combo from CR84FN Color Challenge and the sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge . I began my creation on some Whisper White cardstock, then stamped these butterflies using my markers in Only Orange, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue.  You can hardly see in the photo, but I scorded 10 lines at the bottom and added some glitter. Here are the challenges: Please stop by again soon. Alyson
