Happy Father's Day

One more card for this week's ColourQ challenge.  I missed the last two weeks, so I figure can enter a second card ~ my first one is here.   I like how the SU Summer Smooches DSP has both the Island Indigo and Tempting Turquoise in one design.  I also used the sketch at Card Patterns and focused on polka dots, which is the current challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.

Thinking of You!

Another masculine get well card for three challenges at Freshly Made Sketches, a clean and simple challenge at Simon Says Stamp!, and the 52 Card Pickup at the Old Back Porch.  The other masculine get well card I made earlier this week is posted here.  There are two of the new Stampin Up! in colors on this card ~ Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit. Also the DSP is from the new 2012-2013 catalog ~ it is called "Comfort Cafe."

Butterfly Jewels & The BEST Easter Card

A simple but very labor intensive card for the Jeweled Color Trends Challenge at Embellish Magazine.

 

Create a card, layout, or altered item with jewels (including sequins, beads, rhinestones, gemstones, and pearls) and using the color palette showcased in the inspirational graphic above.

Jewels are a perfect way to dress up any project. You can add them to an embellishment or to the actual layout to create a design. It’s all up to you and we can’t wait to see what you create!

I stamped the butterfly trail from Baby Button Bits, and then cut another piece of paper and placed it under the stamped one, and poked tiny holes to use as a template for my stitching. Then I back stitched each bead along the "trail."  At the end I stitched along the entire trail to make sure the beads were all aligned.

Supplies ~ 

Stamps: PTI Baby Button Bits, Pretty Peonies

Paper:  PTI Soft Stone & White, SU Baja Breeze

Ink:  SU Baja Breeze & Wisteria Wonder

Additional Supplies: 15/0 Seed Beads Sea Foam Lined Crystal (#263) & Gilt Lined White Opal 

     (#15-551), Sulky invisible thread

When I came home from work on Easter, I had the best card waiting for me ~

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  Hero Arts Easter Greetings, PTI Heart Prints, SU The Gifts of Spring

Paper:  SU Marina Mist

Ink: SU Marina Mist & Rich Razzleberry

Additional Supplies:  Lots of Love
