Good morning, Friends! It's Thursday and the Create with Connie and Mary team has a great challenge for you all to try!! This week we are being challenged with a sketch. Take a look!
A very clean and simple sketch that is just right up my alley!! I was so super excited for this one that I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do! So many ideas and they were all getting muddled together. So I sat down and used the color challenge (Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Lucky Limeade) at Splitcoast to help me focus. And here is what I came up with!
I kept my card pretty clean and simple - just like the sketch. I adhered a strip of the Sycamore Street designer paper to a card base of Whisper White. Then I embossed a panel of Whisper White with the Honeycomb embossing folder and popped it up onto the card base. A strip of Tangerine Tango is adhered to this. Then I stamped the leaf from Just Believe in Lucky Limeade onto a Whisper White circle that was cut using the Circles #2 die. This is adhered to a scallop circle of Lucky Limeade that was punched with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and then it is popped up onto the card. Then I stamped the greeting in Tangerine Tango onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged the end. This is then adhered to the card. Finally, I took a flower button from the Brights collection and tied some white baker's twine through it and adhered it to the card.
Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see more inspiration from the very talented design team! I hope you will play along with us this week! We always are inspired by your creations!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! My husband made it home safe and sound yesterday! Sounds like the flights were uneventful which makes for safe and easy traveling! So thankful for that! And Nick was glad to have his dad home, too! A quiet evening at home watching some basketball was really nice! Today I really need to get back to doing the laundry and getting some stamping done. I have a workshop coming up next week and need to start thinking about that. And I haven't stitched in quite a while. We do have another quiet evening around here so I should be able to get some of that done tonight!
Today's card was inspired by two challenges! I recently got By the Tide stamp set with my birthday discount! I thought it would make some nice masculine cards. I used the sketch at CCMC-002 (Create with Connie and Mary Spring Edition Challenge) and the color challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. These colors are right up my alley - Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Very Vanilla! And I thought these colors were perfect for masculine cards! So I took a piece of Crumb Cake designer paper and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake. This is layered onto a piece of Basic Black. Then I added three metallic brads and layered this panel onto a card base of Crumb Cake. I used the 3" circle die to cut a circle from Very Vanilla and stamped the image from By the Tide in Crumb Cake. I also sponged the edges of the circle with Crumb Cake and then popped it up onto the card. I stamped the fish in black StazOn onto Very Vanilla and cut it out. It, too, is popped up onto the circle. Then I stamped the greeting from Sweet Essentials in black StazOn onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged one end. I tucked this under the fish. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!
