Simple Pleasures

I made this card for the current Be Inspired Challenge #54. I love the soft and pretty colors of the inspiration photo. Based on the colors I used a green and white polka dot paper for the background layer. Then I made a yellow and pink watercolor for the smaller background of the die cut. I used watercolor crayons to color the background and the topiary. I used Versamark Black Archival ink. I used two different stamp sets from The Alley Way Stamps. The topiary is from the Tweet Spots stamp set and the sentiment is from Tiny Treasures. The dies are Spellbinders Nestabilities. Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Christmas Tags

I got my first order of stamps from The Alley Way Stamps yesterday and I decided to enter into their current challenge - Be Inspired #18. I used a stamp set called No Peeking to make this set of CAS gift tags. The tag is a Stampin' Up die and the ribbon is also from Stampin' Up. I stamped the images and did a little masking on some using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then I colored them in with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol to get more vibrant colors. I was mainly inspired by the reds and greens in the photo. Thanks for taking a look and Happy Holidays!

I'm entering this card into the Moxie Fab World Card Design Handbook Challenge for Movement. I feel like it looks like all these appliances are falling so I thought it might fit. Click HERE to join in all the fun.

It's time for out next color story at The Play Date Cafe. This week our colors are Flamingo, Honey, & Coffee. Our sponsor is The Alley Way Stamps. They graciously provided all of the design team with stamps. I used a fun set called Kitchen Gadgets. My card base is Early Espresso from Stampin' Up and the die is Top Note by Stampin' Up. I colored the Kitchen Gadgets with Copics and adhered them to the card with foam tape. I love the Roll With It sentiment and it just fit on the cute rolling pin.
