Timeless Talk Thank You

Well, I missed out on last Thursday's DOstamper STARS Challenge.  Why you may ask?  Because my husband was out of town for work and took our camera.  What's a blogging girl to do?  Well I did prepare a card because the sketch was great and I had to try a new stamp set that I just received - Timeless Talk.

Actually, I prepared three cards.  I loved how the images stamped in black paired with the Modern Medley DSP.  For a pop of color, I added some ribbon from the Sycamore Street ribbon pack (currently on Clearance).

 

Hope you enjoy these cards.  Thanks for stopping by.

STARS Color My World

Here it is - Thursday again.  Time for another Color My World challenge. 

I thought about these colors for awhile before I came up with this card.  Actually, I ended by using Basic Gray instead of Smoky Slate.  I think it is still in the spirit of the challenge.  I love the Dahlia stamp and feel like it can be used in so many ways.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Check out my fellow STARS.

I love using online color challenges as inspiration for cards.  They push me to combine colors that I wouldn't normally use together.  Here is this week's challenge at Dynamic Duos:

 

This card is very simple and yet interesting.  Normally I try to create my own texture on a card with stamping, dry or wet embossing, etc.  I have been pushing myself more to use designer series paper on my cards.  I love the colors in the various paper sets that Stampin' Up creates and I always order WAY more than I will ever use.  No more.  Similar to my card earlier this week, this card also uses Modern Medley DSP. 

 

 

Hope you enjoy this card.  Feel free to leave a comment below.  Thanks for visiting.

Modern Floral Medley

I was looking online for a little card inspiration and I found the following two sketches.  The first is from Tuesday Morning Sketches and the second is from Inkspirational:

 

 

I didn't really follow either sketch exactly.  I turned the card vertically.  The strips on my card are various sizes (on purpose - although I do have those days where nothing seems to cut right) in a black and vanilla palette.  The image is stamped on an oval and then colored with Stampin' Up Blender Pens.  Someday I will own the markers, but I love the blender pens because you can use them to create any color.

 

 

Hope you like my card.  Thanks for visiting.

Today's card is based on this week's sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches:

I really like the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up.  The Basic Black and Very Vanilla colors work great together or allow you to add a pop of color.  For this card I chose Cherry Cobbler.

Hexagons to the Challenge

Today’s card was inspired by two online challenges.  For the layout, I used the sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping.

For the colors, I used the Dynamic Duos combination.  Pool Party and Basic Black aren't colors I would normally pair together, but they were a lot of fun to work with.  I added some Very Vanilla as a neutral background color.

 

Hope you enjoy my card.
