Need to Venti?

Hello Delightful friends and family!
Here is a card I made this afternoon.  I saw the challenge at Inspired By #119 and knew I had to play along! I love the red gingham and the touch of gray in the inspiration picture. ( I was too late to play in the challenge, but loved the inspiration!)

I will also be playing along at CAS(E) this Sketch #86

Here is my card:

I'll be sharing this at Paper Smooches (Anything Goes)

 

Thanks for visiting!! Enjoy the weekend.

Ingredients: Designer Paper (scrap in stash!); Stamps: Paper Smooches - Hot Concoctions; Ink: Memento: Rich Cocoa, Espresso; Hero Arts Shadow Ink - Mid Tone Red Royal;

Techniques: I've used Copics to color the cup lid and added Glossy Accents to the hearts, the gingham check was used to paper piece the cup and add a small fish tail banner.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart.  Proverbs 3:3

Hello Delightful friends and family!

I have a quick post with a couple of challenges, then it's back to the craft table (and Duck Dynasty !)

The two challenges are:

1.  Inspired by... #63 (see photo)  - just under the deadline!!

2. Freshly Made (Sketch #75)

(Inspired by... #63)

  I was inspired by the "stackables" in the photo plus the color scheme and flowers for my card. I did take a little bit of liberty with the sketch.

Ingredients:  Designer paper: Basic Grey True Love Collection; Bazzill card stock; Stamps: Tea-riffic with coordinating Die (Taylored Expressions); buttons (American Crafts); Ink: Memento Tuxedo black; Copic R84; Lace (stash)

Thanks so much for visiting. Hope you'll visit often.

Inspired By...#62

Hello Delightful friends and family!

Just a quick post to share a card I did for the Inspired By... Challenge blog.

Isn't this a great color combo?  Definitely a challenge, too!  And I didn't use a stamp, I think that may be a first, well at least for this year... ;-)

Ingredients:  Designer Paper, Cosmo Cricket (Tea for Two collection); Bazzill card stock; I colored the "hi" with a Copic Marker W5; I'm pretty sure that the alpha's are white fabric Thickers (American Crafts).  Finished card is A2. 

For I am determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  1 Corinthians 2:2

Inspired by.... Challenge 61 (Valentine Card)

Hello Delightful friends and family,
I'm back! Can you believe I've posted cards two days in a row.  Me either (ha!)
We are having a very beautiful day here in northern California, it's was icy this morning but the sun is out and it's been a gorgeous day although chilly.  Spent the afternoon helping my grandson age five  five and a half make valentine cards for his classmates (his mom and I ending up making most of them!)
Here is my card for the challenge at Inspired By.  This is my first time to play along and I only found this blog a week ago and I was inspired by the picture so I thought I'd join in on the fun. I kept it pretty simple but I was happy how it turned out. 
I'm also entering this into the Ribbon Carousel Blog Challenge  RCC77... Love is in the Air

My hearts are the Tim Holtz Movers & Shapers Mini Hearts set and I sprayed them with Ranger Dylusions Ink Spray (Postman Red). The faux stitching was made with a fine tipped Sharpie.  I've added a strip of red gingham Fabric Tape and added a natural button (stash) and the bow is Sew Easy Fancy Floss Baker's Twine (primary colors).
The stamps: Inkadinkadoo (sentiment) and the little heart is from Taylored Expressions (Buddy Bear set). Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black;  Paper:  Card Stock (Bazzill red, black) and Neenah Bright White.  Embossing folder: ProvoCraft Cuttlebug (Polka Dots)

Well that's it for me!  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening, I'm heading to the night service at our church, the keyboard is calling my name :-)
Thanks for visiting!
