Card: A Sketch Inspiration

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! Today's card was inspired by a sketch challenge and features the lovely Heart and Home suite from Stampin' Up! Last week I featured this set with a beautiful CASE and I couldn't resist using this set one more time.  

And here is today's project...

Once again the colors are just the perfect combination to pull this card together.  The pop of Peach Papaya and Highland Heather are great in the centerpiece.  I pulled out an oldie for the sentiment in the Springtime Joy set - stayed tuned for more great works from that set! Check out some closeups below!

Card: Case it Up Wednesday

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! I am glad you stopped by to check out this surprise Wednesday post! Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day and last weekend had us running from one event to the next! It took a few days to get into my she shed, so for today's card I pulled out the Mini Catalog for some inspiration.  I CASE'd today's card featuring the Heart & Home Suite from Stampin' Up!.  

Check out today's project...

I am loving the color combinations in this suite! I think my favorite combination is the Misty Moonlight with Fresh Freesia for a soft and lovely look.  Today's card starts with a base of Crumb Cake and then layers on the beautiful DSP one layer at a time.  I chose to stamp today's sentiment in Tuxedo Black, but you could easily stamp in one of the coordinating colors for an extra pop.  

I changed up my ribbon embellishments and decided to use some tied up pieces of linen twine and Fan Baker's Twine in Night of Navy.  How would you color the die-cut centerpiece? There are so many possibilities.  I wanted to try different styles so chose to use the Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils on the first card and the Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes on the second.  Both came out so pretty, but I do love the soft, subtle color that you can get with the Blending Brushes.
