Flower Birthday for CAS-ual Friday Challenge

I did a quick and simple card for CAS-ual Friday challenge #62. I bought this Hero Arts - Sizzix stamp set called Garden Flowers during my recent trip to Archivers in Kansas City. I just love these flowers.

I die cut the flowers using GKD white card stock and stamped the flower image in Black Memento Ink. I colored them using Copic Markers and then added them to the black card base using pop dots. The sentiment is from PTI's Delightful Dahlia stamp set. In retrospect, a more funky or bold font might have better suited this card than this delicate swirly font. But I am happy how the purple color shows so nicely on black.


Thanks for stopping by,.

Inspired Crafters Sketch Challenge #10

Hello friends,

It is the First Friday of the Month - Which means it is time for Inspired Crafters Sketch Challenge for the Month of October. We also have Sankari Wegman as our featured Guest Designer for this sketch. So, please do stop by there to check out her inspiring card.

I used the PTI Delightful Dahlia for my card. I cut out the Dahlia image using the Biscotti Patterned paper and PTI Die. I stamped the image on it using Memento Black ink. I did the same for the Leaves as well. I wanted to carry the polka dot pattern on to the focal image area as well. So I stamped the Polka dots from PTI Polka Dots Basics II on white CS, cut it out using Nestabilities and added some additional detail using the Vintage labels.

Sorry for the quality of my picture, this is what happens when I wait till late night to take the pictures of my projects. Some pearl embellishment and the sentiment from Delightful Dahlia completed the card :)

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you can stop over at IC blog and participate in this sketch challenge to win some exciting prizes.

One-Layer Wednesday 14: Square Outlines

One-Layer Wednesday Challenge #14 - Is to create a square card and use an outline image. Both of these are bit out of norm for me, so this was a true challenge for me. I do not do much of square cards and there are always copics :) To color the outline images. But this time I did not color them :)

Here is my card using PTI Delightful Dahlia stamp set. I left the outline image as is. I inked the edges of the card with PTI Chai inking cube and sentiment completed the card.



I am quite happy how this card turned out. I might make a few more with different colors.

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Delightful Dahlia
Paper - PTI White CS
Ink - PTI Berry Sorbet, PTI New Leaf, PTI Inking cube, Memento Black
Other - None
