Butterflies for Dynamics Duos

Good morning,

Back to work today after a very lovely long weekend. But before I do, I wanted to share a card I made for the current Dynamic Duos challenge

*See the list of supplies at the end of this post*

Their colur combination this week was Primrose Petals + Our Choice! I find the "my choice" ones to be really hard! It's a big committment, trying to find only one other colour to complete your project ;) I finally decided on Perfect Plum.



Although it's hard to tell from the photo, the vellum butterfly is stamped with Illuminate ink, so it has a nice little sparkly to it.
Thanks for stopping by!

White on White at The Friday Mashup!

Happy Friday!

This week at The Friday Mashup Erica has a fun sketch for us!

 

I wanted to stay (very!) neutral on this one, so opted with Vanilla on White ;) I added a bit of shimmer paint to the Crumb Cake butterfly and the edges of the strips of DSP. The background was embossed with the Argyle embossing folder, which I love, and then spritz witht he Colour Spritzer.

Check out this week's challenge:

1. Make a project using the "Sketch".
2. Or Make a project with some "Bling".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "project with the Sketch showing some Bling".

Look forward to seeing you play along with us this week!

Hosting Sunday Stamps!

Hello and happy Sunday!

It's my turn this week to host at Sunday Stamps - and this week we've got a colour challenge! Let me start by saying that I love Sahara Sand. It's one of my very favourite 'colours', and definitely my favourite Neutral - though Crumb Cake runs a very close second ;)

So, that being said, here's my card for this week:

**See the end of this post for a list of supplies used to make this card**

And the challenge colours... Sahara Sand, Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade!

 

I recently discovered, through the awesomeness that is blogland, that you can use just the top of the cupcake from the cupcake punch to create virtually perfect clouds! Colour me excited. And, what are 'storm clouds' without a bit of rain? That's right... not storm clouds ;) I added 'rain' on the Wisteria Wonder panel by spritzing Wister Wonder ink with the Colour Spritzer Tool.

That fabulous DSP is actually Christmas paper from Candlelight Christmas specialty DSP - Available in the Holiday Catalogue. I thought the patterns looked like little suns, which fit the sentiment perfectly.

The boot was coloured with Blender Pens... never leave home without them.

I've used the fab sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as a jumping off point this week. I was totally having 'sketch'-block, so I headed over to my safety net of FMS. Never disappointed by their sketches!

That's it for me today. Please check out what the other fabulous ladies on the Sunday Stamps design team have come up with this week and then link up your own creation. Can't wait to see it!
