Bunches of Love

TODAY IT'S FRIENDS WITH FLAIR

FRIDAY OVER AT UNITY STAMPS!

 

I'M SHARING A CARD MADE WITH

A RECENTLY ORDERED STAMP.

THE SET IS CALLED

BUNCHES OF LOVE.

 

 

 

HERE IS ANOTHER VARIATION

OF THE CARD,USING A STENCIL

FOR A FADED BACKGROUND.

 

 

SO WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE?

THE CRISP ONE WITH GLITTER,

OR THE FUNKY DOT ONE?

 

 

 



Curtain Call - Sweet Pea

Check out this color scheme for the Curtain Call Challenge:

 

 

I made two cards for this challenge.

They both use Unity's Dutch Mustard Soup stamps.

 

You can barely see the lavender flowers

 stamped over the chevrons. 

This second on uses a watercolor technique.

 

I used some distress inks, burlap stencil & water spritz for

the background.  I added some Stickles and used an

edge punch. 

 

 

 

 



Yellow Cards

Unity Stamps has a color challenge

that looks like summer.

 

 

 

I did two cards using these spunky tones.

The first card is busy & wild.

 

 

It features a watercolor style pattern background,

two washi tapes & the Cuppy Cake  (UNITY) stamp.

                                             I used Stickles on the image for some glitz.

 

The second card is crisp & quaint.

 

You can hardly go wrong with this cupcake stamp...

and more glitter.

 



Bold Contrast

I love a dull gray card, with a shocking vibrant color contrast!

 

 

The stamp is Unity August 2011 KOM set.

It's a long narrow strip of flowers,

repeated across the card base.

 

Those delightful flowers are Petaloo mulberry

mini delphinium.  I added the fun rhinestone

flower gems (Kaiser) to the centers

& punched the leaves with my Martha Stewart tool.

Curtain Call

As you know, I just love challenges.

 

I'm trying a new one called Curtain Call.

 

Here is the example:

 

 

I can handle that! 

My style is pretty simple &

I love a good crisp card.

 

These stamps are Unity.

That strawberry is called Sweetest Day.

The flourish is learn.discover. grow.

 

I had to stamp the strawberry twice, on two different papers.

Then I cut them up & pieced it together.

 

I've got fresh strawberries on my mind

and can't wait to go berry pickin'!

Yay summer!

 

 



MOJO 348

It's contest time over at MOJO MONDAY.

The first week of the month offers not only just a card sketch,

 but a contest for bloggers to play along & maybe win!

 

 

So here is the Father's Day theme card

that I made following this design example...

 

 

I think the funky design looks cool

with an unusual color combo.

The deer head and gear

are from Unity Stamp Company.

On this rainy day,
I'm sharing another entry for the

Unity BE INSPIRED Challenge.

Sympathy Bird

Hello crafters,

it's Friday

so I'm playing along

over at Unity's

Friends With Flair.

 

I followed the suggested color scheme for

the BE INSPIRED contest at Unity.

 

 

 

 

The stamp I used is

Encompassed Grace.

 

 

I love the bird & floral pattern paper

and cut the flower from a paper scrap.

The leaves were made with a punch.

I cut the ovals on my

Creative Memories cutter.
