SIP 20 Color Challenge

While I was waiting for Butter to get his school work finished for the day, I decided to check out SIP's challenge for the week... My fellow crafty friend Andrea is on their design team.

Don't forget to check out her blog and the others out too

Okay... so here's my card

I started with my Gold Wink of Stella in the background, then got out my stitched circle dies from Simon Says Stamp and Clearly Besotted set Scribbled Flowers. Which I did in dark browns and pinks.  I added some Pretty Pink Posh Clear sequins and Doodlebug sequins too!

My cardbase is from Simon Says Stamp, 120lbs white.

Until next time

Watercolor Wish

This week Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes...
with Clearly Besotted products. 

I got started with my card by taking out a piece of watercolor paper and adding some light blue ink to it... and while my image doesn't show the blue very well.... its incredible!

For my Clearly Besotted product I used their stamp set Believe

I used lots of Wink of Stella in Clear (splattered) Black (splattered) and I used Gold on the little circles on the stamp, and again by hand to fill in the spots missed!

I matted my card with a layer of gray and black, along with a white cardbase in Simon's 120lbs cardstock.
I added a simple quad knot to the stem to finish it off...

Have a great day

Until next time

CYCI#78

Okay.. this challenge was challenging... but I did it!

Welcome back to another week with CYCI!!!

Of course the theme is black and white, and for the color I used Perfect Plum!

My Simon Says Stamp stitched circle dies, and my Clearly Besotted happy die.

I added some cardstock and dsp from Stampin' Up!  I used the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set!

I also added some Doodlebug sequins.

I took a chance with this design, but in the end, I couldn't be happier!

Thanks for stoppin' by
