Birthday Basket ...

This was for the Mod Squad Challenge but I missed the cutoff date ... oh well. It was to use teal and purple.  

Stamps:  Holiday Basket, Basket Additions 2, Pretty Patterns, Beyond Baskets (GKD)

Paper:  White, Black, Purple

Ink:  Memento Black, Taken w/Teal (SU); Onyx Black (Versafine)

Accessories:  pearls; Copics; clear embossing powder; brads; embossing folder; Scan N Cut 

I had so much fun making this card.  I used my Scan N Cut to cut out the basket and goodies and also the black mat behind the basket.  The handles on the basket are moveable.  I used the Pretty Patterns stamp set to create my background.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Basket of roses ...

I've been in the coloring mood lately and wanted to practice my shading.  This basket and roses were the perfect images to play with.  I've got a long way to go but thought this card came out nice. 

 

Stamps:  Holiday Basket (GKD)

Paper:  White, Navy

DP:  Moments (MME)

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  Copics, ribbon, mini brads, dimensionals (SU), scallop and oval dies (Spellbinders)

• The handles on the basket are movable.
• The basket and roses were fussy cut.  I glued the flowers to the basket so that they would flow over the front and added a few extra leaves for more dimension.  The flower at the bottom was also cut out and attached with dimensionals. 

Thanks for stopping by and as always...

 

Have a great day,

Happy 4th of July ...

Today's card is for The Paper Players Summertime Theme Challenge.  Here is the inspiration photo ...

With the 4th of July right around the corner and that is the ultimate summertime fun for me, I knew I wanted something along those lines.  With my new stamps in hand, I started creating and ended up with this ...

Stamps:  Holiday Basket, Basket Additions 2 (GKD)

Paper:  White, Ballet Blue Real Red

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red

Accessories:  Cuttlebug stars embossing folder, Nestabilities lacy square and square dies, Prismacolor pencils, OMS, Real Red ribbon, Bitty Banner Framelits, button brad (non SU), pop dots, corner rounder

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

• The basket is not straight but after all the coloring I did, it was going to have to work.
• The handles on the basket are movable.
• Colored pencils were used since I wanted a different coloring method.
• Card size is 6 1/4 x 4 1/2 as the basket is a big image. especially after matting it.

Other quick news ...

My pink tree card (here), was actually a winner in the Pretty In Pink challenge over at StampTV.  I'm still doing the happy dance!
