Set the wayback machine to January 26, 2012. The Splitcoaststampers weekly sketch challenge featured this sketch:
Which inspired me to make this card for my sister's birthday:
A gloomy rainy week made me really want some bright happy colors in my cards. This card uses Flair Design patterned paper (stripes and argyle) and a Dollar Tree chipboard flower sticker. It's hard to see but the orange layer is lightly stamped with a Stampin' Up leaf stamp from the Petal Pizzazz set. As always, brads from Making Memories, and I'm not sure where the fiber originated, but I love the way it matched the card.
Continuing on the same color palette, I made another birthday card for the next day:
For this card I used more of the same patterned paper and chipboard stickers, and the same circle punch I had used to make the window in the first card. The text stamp is from A Muse and I used black Staz-on ink on the glossy surface of the sticker.
Card for January 28, 2012:
This was for the weekly Inspiration challenge. This week the site was Everything Turquoise, a blog that features all sorts of design ideas that include shades of turquoise. I love that color range, so I found LOTS of inspiration on that site and saved a bunch of pictures for later cards. The photo I picked for my challenge was this one:
Now this photo is meant to show both sides of a reversible duvet cover, but I loved the divided look and was excited to use that in my card. I started with a kraft brown card and stamped leaves and flowers from an Inkadinkado clear stamp set, and added color with pencils. On the other side of the card I used some s.e.i. patterned paper that echoes the pattern on the blue side of the comforter picture. The word stamp is from the Michael's dollar bin. I finished off the card with a felt flower and button from the Chatterbox Artsylicious embellishment assortment in peacock blue.
Thanks for looking, and enjoy the weekend!
