Flourishes Timeless Tuesday!!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC22)!!! Have we got a lovely challenge for you this week!!!! It is the last Tuesday of the month, so it is time for another Guest Challenge Designer!!!! Today we welcome Linda Lucas(Lovely Linda) all the way from Australia! Welcome, Linda!!! Linda is challenging us to use our chalk!!! Now, there are so many techniques that you can do using chalk. Whether you want to color, sponge distress, create popping pastels, chalkboard technique, or choose another , the point is to dust of that chalk container and Chalk It!!! We would love to see what you create! Here's my take on using chalk. I ran a cotton ball over the cuttlebug embossing. I used the new set Life,Love and Lemons. I stamped the image and sentiment with Tuxedo Black ink. I used Copics to color the lemons and background. The Copic Collections used are Daffodil Collection, The Sky Collection, The Evergreen Collection. My ribbon was white, I used my Copics to add a bit of color:) The blog team have some beautiful samples for you today.

Timeless Tuesday Sketch!!

Hi there!It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC21). This week Silke Ledlow is hosting. Silke is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much explanation necessary. You can turn it and enlarge the sections to fit your card size. However, in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you create with it!!! Here's my card! The stamps are Waterlilies. I used the new Flourishes paper Classic White and Classic Ivory. To color I used the New Copic Collections I love how they are already grouped together. I may have used a random color in addition to the collections listed but for the most part I used the following. Tea Rose, Dusty Rose, Hollyhock, and Fields color collections. The blog team have some beautiful samples for you today.

FLLC Timeless Tuesday

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC20)! This week Betty Wright is our host. She is challenging us to get inspired from Kim Poloson's posters. Search through the many posters to find an inspiration piece. As with all inspiration pieces, there may be one or two things in the photo that inspires you whether it is an element, layout, or color scheme, or you may want to recreate the whole look. There are so many wonderful ones to choose from you will probably want to play several times. Make sure you include a link in your write up as to which one you chose and why. We would love to see what you create!!! Wow I love that site. I will be using it for many more cards and projects. I was inspired by this lovely work of art. Here's my card. I used the following Stamp Sets and Copics. All from Flourishes. Autumn Flourishes, Peony,Thank You. The Hollyhock Collection and The Fields Collections for coloring. The blog team have some beautiful samples for you today.

FLLC Timeless Tuesday!!

Hi there! I want to thank Kim Crawford for the stamped image used today. Kim sent me a package of images from Flourishes when I got home from the hospital! I colored this using Prisma Color Pencils and Baby Oil. The stamp is from the DIY Topiary set.

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC19)! This week Cindy Haffner is our host. She is challenging us to use designer papers. Now, I realize that designer pampers are about as necessary to card making as spellbinders die cuts, but there is a lot that you can do with designer papers. You can stamp on them, use border punches, color them, paper piece, die cut shapes, cut out images to use as a focal point, or just to enhance the look of your card. Whichever option you choose to do, we would love to see what you create

Here's my take on the challenge. See what the Blog Team made using designer paper,the cards are awesome!!

IHP New Home

Hi there! I was thrilled when a local store asked if they could carry some of my cards. They requested cards for all sorts of occassions including moving into a new home. I found this cute set at i{heart}papers. There are some really cool images as well as sentiments in this set. This is the clean and simple card I made for the store. The inside says If you've never been to i{heart}papers or it's been a while you should check it out Kate always has cool new things for eye candy!! Enjoy the day!
