Black and White #FM215

Good Friday morning!  Its time for another awesome challenge this week over with the creative designers at The Friday Mashup!  Amy has really come up with a fun challenge this week for us.  I hope you decide to play along!

 

 

This weeks Mashup Challenge is:

• Create a project with "the Sketch"
• Create a project with " 3 Elements on it"
• or Mash it Up! and create a project with " the Sketch and 3 elements on it"

 

I was so excited about this weeks challenge. I knew right away I wanted to play with black and white colors and the Flower Patch stamp set.  I created a card for the display boards at convention last year for Stampin' Up and these flowers are very similar.  I added for my background stripes, some cut up typeset DSP in different widths.  Added some lace trim and black satin ribbon and I was done.

 

Supplies Used

Ink ~ basic black

Cardstock ~ basic black, very vanilla

DSP ~ typeset

Stamp set ~ Flower Patch

Misc. ~ lace trim, black satin ribbon, basic pearls, flower patch framelit set

 

I hope you have enjoyed my design team project.  Now go check out what the others have created, leave some love and come play along!

Celebrating the 4th of July!!

 

Good morning and thanks for taking a few minutes to stop by my blog.  Today I am over creating and stampin' for Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  We are sharing projects to celebrate the 4th of July. 

 

I don't create to many cards for this special day, but try to keep in mind that somewhere there is someone who celebrates and shares this special day for the USA with their Birthday.  This card is for all of you who do.  I used colors of cherry cobbler, whisper white and night of navy.  I love how the gold twine adds such a lovely detail to the stripes and makes them pop.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ cherry cobbler, whisper white, night of navy

Ink ~ night of navy, crumb cake for some distressing

Stamp set ~ Be a Star

Misc. ~ star framelit set, mini star punch, star embossing folder, gold bakers twine, night of navy blendabilities, basic rhinestones

 

I hope you have enjoyed my 4th of July celebration card.  Leave some "love" and go visit our other design team members to get inkspired.

With all this rain this week I've been craving the sun and it made me think of the wonderful ombre of yellows we have with Stampin' Up!  I highlighted the colors with simple cardstock down the side and cut a portion out with my butterfly framelit in vellum.  I wanted it simple and light.
