Mixed Media and a Sympathy Card



Today's card was made using this week's Card Concept 
and Less is More challenges.  I decided to use the Clean & Simple approach for the Card Concept style.

To create my card I began by spreading water around on a few areas of the paper.  I then took some Lime Green and Aqua ink and let it spread about.  Once dry I used my new stamp set from Ranger and a sympathy sentiment. Paint spatter was then used to finish it off.

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:

Happy Sunday! Alyson
