Welcome to another Sunday and a fun new sketch from The Paper Players! I would just like to share that your creations with last week’s color combination were wonderful to see, thank you so much for sharing your talent! This week, Jaydee has given us a fun clean and simple theme challenge:

When I first saw the challenge, I thought “Oh, how fun!” and then spent forever trying to work the card out. I can over think things at times so I took a step back, a deep breath, and cookies; and I was able to re-focus and get on track.

The cookies helped a lot! lol This beautiful flourish is from MFT Stamps and is dreamy! So soft and pretty! It would be so simple to make up gift sets with this die!

I die cut the flourish twice, adhered the layers together and then adhered the nice thick flourish to my water color pattern paper. Isn’t it lovely? And no effort needed, the best part!! I thought this stark label greeting from Altenew, stamped in black, would contrast well with all the softness, and I absolutely love the effect! A few sequins and done! Quick and easy!

Here’s one last close up of the details…

I hope you have a minute to peek at the inspiring designs from the rest of the design team! I can’t wait to see your creations over on the challenge blog!

Hello there, my stamping friends! Welcome to my second post of the day, this one is a card I designed for the Sunday Stamps design team, which I am very excited to announce that I am now a member of!!

I’m looking forward to this next year’s journey with the Sunday Stamps Challenge Blog, they have wonderful challenges so I hope you will check them out and play along!

Today’s challenge is a color challenge! And just look at these fun colors!!:

I know, you totally want to play along, right?? I know I did! Here’s what I came up with:

I was in a butterfly mood and thought that these colors would work really well for this new (to me) stamp set called Painted Butterflies by Altenew. Aren’t they gorgeous?? Each butterfly has three stamps to be layered together to create the final image…thank heavens for the MISTI!! I’m not sure I would attempt so much layering without it!

Wouldn’t it be fun to make a whole bunch of these cards in different colors for gift sets? Just change out the sentiment…easy peasy!

And if you’re wondering where the grey color is…it’s in the ink splatters in the background! I used Stampin’ Up!’s Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the ink splatters…it’s my go to stamp for that sort of thing. I also stamped off once before stamping onto my cardstock to create a soft splatter effect.

And there you have it! I used Mama Elephant’s Femme Frames to die cut the scallop layer as well as the interior rectangle, and then used the interior rectangle again to die cut my white cardstock and inlaid it to keep the layers minimal for mailing 🙂

I hope you will hop over and check out the inspiration from the rest of the Sunday Stamps design team and I hope to see you over there!!

Wishing you joy and blessings!
