It's Your Time To Fly Inspired By Challenge #114

March 5, 2020

It's Thursday and it is time for a new challenge at Inspired By! 

How fun is all this green?  I love all these old kitchen gadgets!  Such a cozy feeling when you look at this photo!  Doesn't it remind you of a cottage/cabin kitchen?

How does this photo inspire you?  Is it the kitchen items, the shades of green, the shelf, etc???

I needed an inspirational card for a friend, so I decided to use the color green in my card.  (I know it looks more yellow, but it is really green paper.  LOL!)  I cut a scalloped panel of green and added a plaid (with green) on top.  This little MFT Pure Innocence girl made me think of Spring.  This stamp set is called Butterfly Kisses.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I paper pieced her dress and colored her with Copic Markers.  I added green in her butterfly wings. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Check out all the inspiration from the Design Team.  We sure hope you will play along with us this week!  

  HUGS!

Paper Players PP480

March 1, 2020

Can you believe it is March already???  This year is flying by!

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Player!

The Amazing Anne Marie is our hostess this week and she has a fun theme challenge for all of us!  Who doesn't love embossing?  It is like magic to me.  I think that is truly one of the reasons that I started making cards.  I was so intrigued with it! 

My card is created on a white card base.  I used a blue plaid patterned paper for my background and cut it with a fun die.  I used an Easter Egg die to cut the center panel.  I used a cloud stencil and distress ink to create all the clouds.  Then I used a grass die from Lawn Fawn to cut out the grass on green plaid paper.  I trimmed the grass with the egg die, too.  I heat embossed the little bunny in his carrot card with gray embossing powder.  I colored it with Copic Markers.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set from Your Next Stamp.  I stamped it in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  Wink of Stella was added for shine!

A Book Is A Gift Inspired By Challenge #113

Feb. 27, 2020

It's Thursday and time for and new challenge at 

Inspired By! 

How cozy is this inspiration photo?  Doesn't it make you want to jump on the sofa and read a book!

How does this photo inspire you?  Is it the colors, the books, the flowers, the textures, the patterns, the sofa?  We can't wait to see what you create. 

I was inspired by the books on the coffee table. 
My grand daughter's birthday is coming soon and she loves to read.  She loves yellow and pink so I selected this Stamping Bella Book Worm Squidgy stamp to create her card.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and added lots of Wink of Stella for shine.  I cut the panel and added a flowered background to help the image pop.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I added a few yellow enamel dots for fun. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Check out all the inspiration from the Design Team.  We sure hope you will play along with us this week!
