I added some stitches and rhinestones to decorate.

Purple, Black + 2 colors!!

Happy Friday my friends. I hope you are having a great day. Now, it's time for another Mother's & Daughters Creations Challenge "Purple, Black + 2 more colors" I created a cute and easy card and my 2 other colors are: White and Green. I started with a piece of White CS as my card base. I cut a piece of Bridgeport Garden Tour Paper (SEI) and sponged the border with Plum Ink. I cut a piece of Black CS (Core'Dinations), this CS is a double side color, I put his piece in my Cuttlebug and then sanded it. Super cool!! Then I stamped the bird using the other side of the PP, then cut it out. The branch is also part of the PP, just cut it out and positioned it there. Finally I stamped the sentiment on the left bottom corner and added the ribbon.
Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White, Black (Core'Dinations).
Paper: Bridgeport Garden Tour (SEI)
Stamps: Bird (Imaginisce), Enjoy (Daisy Bucket)
Ink: Plum (Color Box), Stazon Black, Purple.

Hello my friends, it's time to reveal our creations for smARTworks Tea Party Challenge. Donelda challenged us to do the "Salted Background Technique", fun and unique technique, but not my best. I tried several times and the results were not good for me. I think this BG is the best of all the ones I tried. For this technique I followed the directions and the colors I used are Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Riding Hood Red. I stamped the big Saying in Basic Brown and the flower in Riding Hood Red. I added some stitches and MS Ribbon.

Next Tea Party Challenge: Salted Background

Congrats.

Hello my friends. I hope you all are having a great day. It has been a long while since I stamped. I have been sick last week and also had a very busy weekend. DH schedule has changed so now we get up at 3:30 am, I make his breakfast and pack his lunch and go back to bed, :). Of course DD is up around 6:30 am, so I feel like I am always tired.
Anyway, last Saturday DD was a flower girl. She was very excited and she practiced with everything she could throw on the floor. It was a very short notice, less than 24 hours. The funny thing was I thought DD's BFF Birthday Party was the same day, so we tried to make plans, so to the wedding and then go to the party, then I called my friend and let her know we will be a bit late and she said " The party is not today" I couldn't stop laughing, it was a lot of relieve for me, I was already tired, just thinking about all the run around I had to do. Maybe because I wasn't feeling good, my brain stopped thinking, LOL

Anyway, after so many days without touching my inks and stamps, today I have a Wedding card for you. I will give it to the couple just got married. I used the 2 Sketches 4 You this week sketch. For my card I used an image form PSX stamps. I stamped the image onto White CS and heat embossed it using Gold ep. The back panel is a piece of my favorite paper Out & About, I added a piece of White CS , sponged the borders and then added zig zag stitches. I added some White ribbon. The sentiment are Stickers from Pink Paislee.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Whisper White.

Paper: Out & About (My Mind's Eye)

Stamps:F-384 PSX.

Ink: White Craft, Gold craft (for sponging)

Embellishments: White Satin Ribbon (Offray), Alphabet stickers (Pink Paislee)

Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, sponges, Gold ep, embossing gun, Mini glue dots, SU Dimensionals, 3D-foam (EK Success), Cricut machine (Circle), scallop scissors.

Hope you like it.

Have a great day!!
