Navy..Pink..Cream

Today has been hectic.  We are trying to sell our home and the constant cleaning and tidying for showings can be such a hassle.  I'm sure we have all experienced that.  I think in the end it's worth it!

Today's card was made using the color challenge over at Our Creative Corner.


 I began on some Navy cardstock.  I machine stitched 2 pieces of Belle Bleu.  To that I added a glassine bag, a stamped mat, and all kinds of embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by!

    Hello Alyson
    Hose selling is soooo stressful, hope it sells soon for you.
    As your sentiment states...Beautiful.. and this card is very much so. Your Blue is not quite Navy but I guess it is in the same colour family. I love the effect of the two tones, it is happy and has such movement within the design.
    Thank you so very much for joining us at Our Creative Corner this week, we are so pleased to see your work.
    Smiles:)

    Hi Alyson! I really love all the layers you have created on your card, and the little glassine bag in the background works really well adding depth and interest. All those beautiful embellishments clustered together are lovely.

    Thanks for joining in this week at OCC. Glad you got some time out to create something while you are selling your home :)

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
