Thursday Challenge Card

Today is Thursday.  That means it is time for another DOstamper STARS Challenge.  Today is a photo-inspired Home Sweet Home challenge.

I had a little trouble getting started with this one, so I used the sketch at Mojo Monday.

 

I love the color palette in the photo.  I chose the DSP from the Gingham Garden collection.  I paired that with three flowers – two from the Petite Petals stamp set and the large flower is from the Flower Shop stamp set.  These were punched with their coordinating punches.  The sentiment is from Thanks and Hello.

Thanks for visiting today. 

Visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.

Elegant Thank You

When I saw the photo challenge at Stampin' Royalty, I was so inspired.  The colors are so crisp, clean and modern.  Of course, I needed to find a fitting sketch to go along with the color.  The sketch was featured this week on Mojo Monday.

 

I had a lot of fun putting this card together.  I used one of the small stamps from the Mixed Bunch stamp set to add texture to the Smoky Slate vertical element.  The flower was stamped from the same stamp set in Daffodil Delight which coordinates with the ribbon.  The white was embossed with the Modern Wallpaper embossing folder from Provo Craft.

Pool Party Smiles

Here it is - the middle of the week already.  I can’t believe it is Wednesday.  I can remember when I was younger my grandmother told me that time goes faster as you get older.  I thought that seemed crazy, but I completely understand now.

When I saw the colors in this week’s challenge at the Paper Players I was intrigued.  There is no way I would have matched Pool Party with Rich Razzleberry.  It took a big of experimenting, but I found something that I thought looked nice.  Then I switched the Razzleberry and Pool Party around.  Not sure which one I like better.  Leave me a comment and let me know.  The layout is based on the sketch at MojoMonday.
