Runway Inspired CTS #73

Thanks for stopping by! Today I am sharing my take on the fun challenge over at CAS(e) this Sketch.  The challenge, if you choose to except it, is to get inspired by the runway challenge and mix it with the sketch challenge.  I did choose to except the challenge, and I'm ready to share what I came up with...

The challenge..

 
So WOW!  You know when you have a plan in your head, but then when you sit down to create that plan, how it never comes out the way you planned?!?  Well throw that thought out the window, cause my hands actually listened to my head and it came out just right!  Well, as far as my opinion goes!  Wink!  Wink!  I started with deciding on what flower set I wanted to use.  Of course, it was stippled blossoms.  Just perfect for layering.  My flowers were stamped with a rolling rub off technique (as I like to call it!)  I stamped the whole flower in real red, rolled the edges to remove some of the ink, then rolled the edge in tangerine tango ink.  I then stamped the layered stamp on top in basic black.  When you stamp this flower, it leaves a little white space, well I didn't want that, I wanted to add in some blue.  So I took my tempting turquoise pen and colored it in.

 
I also didn't want start white to be the background.  I used my mosaic embossing folder, inked it up in black and then ran my white paper thru my big shot.  I then, stamped in black the stripped mosaic stamp from the full set, punched and layered, added a black candy dot (you can never have to much candy!!) to the center of three and I my background was complete.
 
I really hope you have enjoyed my take on the Runway challenged mixed with the CASE(e) This Sketch.  I really had fun creating it!

April Color Challenge!

 
Good morning!  Its Monday and you know what that means....its time for our April color challenge over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  I hope after seeing all the wonderful projects from our design team members, you will decide to play along with us!  We are always excited to see what others come up with.

 
April's colors are gumball green, very vanilla and wisteria wonder.  For me, these are great spring and Mother's Day colors.  I know I'm early, but I plan to give this card to my Mom for Mother's Day!

 
One of the things I like about this card, is the detail in the flowers.  Stippled Blossoms is a great two step stamping set.  With just two different colors you can see added detail in the layers.  I also like the details with the fancy fan embossing folder.  Using an embossing folder is so easy but adds such great detail to any card or project.
 
I hope you have once again, enjoyed my take of this months color challenge.  Don't forget to leave some "love" and head over to our main blog to see how you can enter in the fun.  I hope I have INKspired you to create with us!
 
Supplies Used
Cardstock ~ gumball green, very vanilla
Ink ~ wisteria wonder, elegant eggplant

Stippled Blossoms with HSS179 and PPA192

Well if you checked out my card in a box post from this morning, you read that yesterday was not a good day, but today has been much better!  I provide childcare in my home and well nap time can sometimes be good and sometimes not so good.  That was the root of yesterday's disaster.  Usually during nap time, I head to my craft room and play around with a card challenge or work on an upcoming project for my stamp club.  Well today went so well, that I was able to knock out not one but two card challenges, yep you heard that right...TWO cards!!!

This card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments! and Pals Paper Arts!  HHS has a great color challenge while PPA has a fun sketch challenge.  You should head over to both and check out the details.

I broke out Stippled Blossoms as my choice of stamp set.  Not sure why I don't use this set more.  It is a really lovely stamp set.  The colors worked perfect for how I wanted my card to look.

I even dressed up the inside with some layered blossoms too.
