Compose a Card Challenge #5

I was finally able to play with Becky Oehlers Compose a Card Challenge. It is kind of fun as she gives the sizes, color and all and you have to create the card :)

I did not have the Red Polka Dot Paper that she was using in her card. So, I made some of my own. I stamped the polka dots from Polka Dot Basics in Fresh Snow Ink on Pure Poppy CS and used a smaller polka dot background from the same set and stamped it in Pure Poppy on white. I loved how this turned out and plan do more of these. I just had to leave the Fresh Snow ink to dry for a while :)

I punched out a flower from the White Polka dot Patterned paper that I had created for this card.

Here is my card,

SCA3C21 Misty Shadow Leaf

Sara's Perfect Match Color Combination for this week was,

Aqua Mist, Spring Moss, New Leaf and Smokey Shadow.

It was fun that I had gotten my last PTI order just yesterday which has the Smokey Shadow CS, so it was fun creating this card,



I used the Tags for Spring set stamped in Melon Berry to create the main element. The sentiment was from the Anniversary Set - Everyday Classics.

Ink - Dark Chocolate, Smokey Shadow, Melon Berry

Color Inspiration

I love all these catalogs that has these beautiful colored house decor items and this particular comforter set in this catalog just called out to me. The colors were just beautiful and I had to do a card for that.

Here is the my card. I did not have the exact shades of those color, but I kind of liked this card. I used PTI polka dot basics and colored them with copics.



Supplies: PTI Polka Dot Basics, PTI Circle Corner and Borders, PTI Shapes by Design, PTI Dark chocolate Ribbon, PTI White and Craft CS, Circle punches.

And the catalog that inspired it,

Around and About Sentiments

Around and About sentiments - January release from PTI is really a versatile set. Lot of possibilities. Wanted to share the two cards that I did with this set. Of course I have already used it on other cards as well including PTI Blog Hop.

PTI January Blog Hop

My very first blog hop with PTI and it is very exciting. The challenge this time was to make Birthday cards. There are so many choices with my PTI Stamp collection that it was a hard choice. Here is my Birthday card,



I used PTI Birds of feather, polka dot basics (to create the background) and Around & About Sentiments to kind of prop the sentiment. The sentiment itself is from Women of life.

Aqua mist and chocolate CS go together so well and is very pleasing to the eye.

Clean and Simple Designs

I was searching SCS Gallery for some clean and simple designs and found this blog titled "Clean and Simple Stamping". Awesome blog and suiting my design mojo as of now. So, I have started working on some of their sketches. They are very simple and elegant and have a WOW factor.

Sorry this might be a long post, but wanted to post all my CAS cards at one shot.
