FTL #104

My poor craft room has been so neglected! It's hard for me to spend time in there in the summer (it's so hot with no a/c), but don't feel sorry for it, it gets plenty of love in the winter:) I did manage to whip out this quick card last night though. I have seen other people make cute DSP with their Fox and Friends' critters and I thought this sketch was perfect for it:) I also used this colour challenge:


For some reason, I'm drawn to making these baby cards that have multiple colours in them. I think in my mind they are meant to be gender-neutral, but A LOT of pink always finds its way in.....not so gender-neutral afterall:)


Supplies:
-rose red and whisper white cardstock
-rose red DSP
-pretty in pink satin ribbon
-"Fox and Friends" stamp set
-rose red, old olive, so saffron, and pretty in pink ink

Embellish with Birds

I love me an Embellish challenge and this one is no exception:) Plus I hadn't inked up my "Happy Together" stamp set so what a perfect challenge to use it for:) I didn't come up with this card all by myself, I did get the inspiration for it from elsewhere, bt I didn't jot down the person's name....so if you recognize it, it was probably you:) I changed it up a bit, chaning the colours, ribbon and adding some texture. The colours to use were pink, brown and green and here's what I came up with:


Supplies:
-whisper white and old olive cardstock
-melon mambo and chocolate chip ink
-perfect polka dot embossing folder
-chocolate chip satin ribbon
-brown button from stash
-"Happy Together" stamp set

Clean and Simple #100 & #101

For Sketch #100, I had a pretty good idea as to what I wanted to do but I needed some help choosing the colour, so I went to my new colour coach (which I LOVE) and found this combo: old olive, pumpkin pie, and rich razzleberry. Here's what I came up with:

Supplies:
-crumb cake and whisper white cardstock
-pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon
-paper piercing tool
-old olive, rich razzleberry, and basic black ink
-scalloped edge punch
-razzleberry lemonade DSP
-"Garden Silhouettes" and "Garden Greetings" stamp sets
-Congratulations stamp from stash


For Sketch #101 I didn't need my colour coach. Instead I used one my tried and true favourite combos: pumpkin pie and chocolate chip:) It even sounds delicious!



Supplies:
-pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, crumb cake, and whisper white cardstock
-Sweet Pea DSP
-scallop trim border punch
-chocolate chip satin ribbon
-pumpkin pie and chocolate chip ink
