Recap of the Week



Hello and happy Sunday.  I'm posting a few cards I made this week.  First up is another card using The Greetery Sitting Pretty.  I was inspired by the challenge at Just Add Ink #564: Just Choose Two (sky & trees) and the colors at Color Throwdown #652.  Perhaps the rug and seat cushion look familar?  

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (old: dog die and cloud stencil.  new:  porch, chair and trees), and Addicted to Stamps and More #410.  This is such a peaceful scene, and I had to add Sherlock to enjoy the day.





Next up...it is birthday time.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut a bunch of tiny cupcakes out of Hero Arts You're Top Tier, and was inspired to do this by the challenge at CAS on Friday #210: Tiny Images.  I used a Mosaic embossing folder which gives this really fun geometric dimensional texture to my card front, so I am also linking up at Addicted to CAS #202 and AAA Birthday #27:  Embossing Folder.  And, I am finally snarky!!  I'll be linking this card up at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #190:  C is for Colorful.  Last of all, this card is going over at A Blog Named Hero:  Repeat Yourself.







While I had my Copic markers out and was in a birthday mode, I am entering this card at many of the same challenges as the card above.











Last up are a couple of wedding cards--must replenish the stash.  This first one was inspired by the challenge at Ink to Paper: What Do I Do with This to create a card with a little sparkle.  My elegant wedding sentiment is heat embossed in Black Sparkle embossing powder, which gives a whole lot of sparkle in person, and the sequins are pretty sparkly, too.  I am also entering this card at WWC230: Occasions (wedding).






My 2nd wedding card is my last card for the day.  I combined a stamped and die cut image from a My Monthly Hero kit with a stamped and gold heat embossed image from PTI Gatsby Glamour and a sentiment from Avery Elle So Happy.  Now, that's a mixed marriage.  I am entering this card at WWC230: Occasions (wedding).




Thanks for Visiting
