Try Stampin' on Tuesday #327

I love playing along with sketch challenges and when I saw this week's sketch challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday; I just had to play along.

Here is the sketch:


Here is the card I made using the sketch as inspiration:


I started with a white card stock base and then added the green rectangle with the tulip design paper from Your Next Stamp.  I die cut the yellow rectangle with a stitched rectangle die also by Your Next Stamp and the cross stitch oval die from Cottage Cutz.  The sentiment is by Stamps of Life and I popped it up with 3D foam tape.  The tulip die cut was cut twice in green and Melon Mambo by SU.  I attached the Melon Mambo flowers on top of the green die cut.  The tulip die is by Penny Black.  I thought it was just the right size for the yellow rectangular piece.  I finished off the card with some matte sprinkles by Doodlebug Design.  I love how this card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

AHSC #217

Hi everyone!  I'm up on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog again this week.  I have to admit that this week's sketch had me thinking long and hard as to which of my many 6 x 6 paper pads to use.  Here is the sketch:


Here is the card I made using the sketch as inspiration:


I started off with a white card stock base and added a layer of ivory card stock.  The papers I used are by Dovecraft - Floral Muse.  I am almost ashamed to admit that I have had this in my stash for a very long time and today was the 1st day I used some of the papers.  I added a pale pink oval circle which was die cut and is by Cottage Cutz Cross stitch ovals.  The sentitment which was stamped using Versafine Crimson Red is by Stamps of Life.  I am quite pleased at how well this card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

AHSC #215

I am back with this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I love the sketch that Michelle created for this week.  Here is the sketch:


Here is the card I made for this sketch:


I started out with a white card stock base.  I die cut the banners with a stitched die and the ovals with a cross stitched die.  The design paper is from a 6 x 6 paper pad by Docrafts - Burleigh blue.  This particular paper pad has all sorts of light and darker blue designs in it and is perfect for card making.  The sentiment which was stamped with Versafine Majestic Blue ink is by Kaisercraft.  I added dark blue and light blue quilled flowers.  I recently learned how to do some quilling.  I also added a light blue and dark blue enamel dots from Your Next Stamp to the quilled flowers.  I added 3 more dark blue enamel dots to the top right corner of the card as I thought it looked a bit bare.  I love how this card turned out and I had fun making it.

I hope you like this sketch as much as I do and will be inspired to make a card.
