Poppies in Paris- Two Challenges in One Card!

 

Hi Stampers!
I created this card using the colors from this week’s Pals Paper Arts PPA92 Challenge (see http://www.palspaperarts.com) and the CCMC149 sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary (see http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com).  You will need to check out their sites to see all of the amazing creations that both Design Teams have created along with all of the other fabulous entries!   

I must admit that I have not used Poppy Parade as often as the other In-Colors but I do love the drama that it creates when paired with the other colors in this challenge:-)

To create this card:

Heat emboss the images and sentiment using the Embossing Buddy to de-static the cardstock and Black EP.

Use the Big Shot to cut the tag from the Two Tags Die and emboss the Poppy Parade panel using the Framed Tulips EF.

Color the flowers using SU! Markers in Peach Parfait and Poppy Parade.  

Assemble the panels and finish off with pearls and satin ribbon.

Stamp Sets: Artistic Etchings, Fabulous Florets, Fresh Cuts

Ink:  Versamark

Cardstock:  Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Basic Black, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz DSP, Peach Parfait DSP

Accessories: Big Shot, Two Tags Die, Framed Tulips EF, Embossing Buddy, Heat Gun, Black EP, Pearls, Small and Medium Oval Punch, 5/8” Black Satin Ribbon

Thanks again for visiting- I hope all of you have a terrific week!

With Sympathy- CCMC130 and CQC64 Challenge

Hi Stampers!   I created this card using the CCMC130 sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary (www.createwithconnieandmary.com)  along with the colors from this week’s ColourQ Challenge #CQC64 (www.colourq.blogspot.com).  One thing I love about sketch challenges is that you can generally flip the sketch, re-position the ribbon, etc. to create a card that is uniquely yours.  I decided to change the position of the ribbon on this card so you could see more of the focal image.

To create this card:

Using Real Red Classic Ink stamp the focal image from Fresh Cuts and color using SU! Markers in Pear Pizzazz, Regal Rose and Real Red.  Using a Sponge Dauber, sponge the edges in Real Red and layer onto Regal Rose. Using the Pinking Hearts Border Punch along the lower edge, adhere the focal image and spray the entire piece with Frost White Shimmer Paint spray.

Emboss a piece of Pear Pizzazz using the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper EF and spray with Frost White Shimmer Paint.  Emboss a piece of Pink Pirouette with the Square Lattice EF, adhere the layers and attach the 5/8” Real Red Satin Ribbon.

Layer onto Real Red, add the pearls and finish with the sentiment.

Stamp Sets:  Fresh Cuts, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, Real Red

Ink: Real Red

Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice and Vintage Wallpaper EF, Pinking Hearts Border, Small Oval and Medium Oval Punches, 5/8” Real Red Satin Ribbon, Pearls, SU! Pear Pizzazz, Real Red and Regal Rose Markers, Frost White Shimmer Paint
