Tiled Coneflowers

Morning all! Hope you have a great weekend on tap! Ours started great last night with a come from behind win for the Crete High School football team! They are headed to the State Finals!! Great job boys! Neither of my boys play, but they are both in the Cardinal Band which does a great job of supporting the team and fans!

Anyway, on to the stamping! Here is a card I created several of the week, some get well, some Sympathy. I used the Simply Scored again to do the "tile" look.

The colors are Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade and Chocolate Chip. I started this time with a Naturals White piece of card stock, 4" x 5". Score it every inch in both directions. I inked the flowers by using a Sponge Dauber with each color and dabbing it onto the desired area and stamped over the recessed side of the scored  lines. Love this look!! I knotted a Calypso Coral ribbon around the bottom of the card stock and added the saying over that with dimensionals. The flower panel was layered onto Chocolate Chip, then attached to the Calypso Coral base. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you can work some stamping into your weekend. I really hope to here!!

Club Doily Card 3

Back with the last card from Club last weekend. Meant to get here earlier today, but got distracted cleaning. Ick, I know, but it had to be done and there's lots more I need to do. The good news, the basement is taking shape!

This one is very simple, but isn't it striking? The card base is Elegant Eggplant. We embossed the Doily on another piece of Elegant Eggplant, sized just smaller than the base. Stamp the Doily with Versamark, Heat Emboss with White Embossing Powder, knot a Whisper White Satin ribbon around, put a Pearl in the center, and add your saying of choice. Attach the layer to the base and you're done!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to find some stamping time later today. This is the last of my created cards so gotta get busy stamping!! That box of Holiday Mini stuff is starting to call my name ;)

Club Doily Card 2

Welcome back for card 2 from the weekend of Doily cards!! This one is an emboss resist, very similar to the Soft Suede one on the SUDSOL Blog Tour. My deciding factor of color on this one was coordinating ribbon :)

This is a new ribbon, by the way, Riding Hood 3/8" Taffeta. I'm loving the more choices in ribbon this year!! Card base is Riding Hood Red. The Doily was stamped in Versamark on Naturals White Card Stock and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. We then used the sponge daubers to put Riding Hood Red ink on. Remember to dab first, then twist and rub to get the color in good. Then when all done, rub over the embossing with either a tissue or paper towel to remove any excess ink. A large Pear in the center, a knotted ribbon, and saying from Sincere Salutations on scallop ovals. I let them chose from the entire set for their greeting.

Thanks for stopping by again today!!

ColorLab52

Happy Thursday all! Long week here after a week on vacation last week! Can't seem to get back in the groove!! Oh well! You know Thursday means another great color challenge over at the ColorLab! Here are the colors:

Pool Party, So Saffron & Not Quite Navy

And, here is what I came up with.

I mounted my new Sweet Floral stamp and did the emboss resist technique. I used the First Edition DSP again. The card base is Not Quite Navy with a Pool Party & So Saffron layer behind the DSP. On the DSP, I stamped the Sweet Floral image with Versamark and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Then I sponged color over: So Saffron for the flowers, Not Quite Navy for the stem & leaves, and Pool Party in any bare spots. The flower didn't pop quite as much as I would like so I'm guessing a darker color would be better. A Pool Party ribbon is attached around the bottom with a "Thanks So Much" from Sincere Salutations attached over on the Large & Scallop Oval punches.

Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure to stop over by the ColorLab and see what the other Chemists came up with! And, play along!! We love to see your creations!!
