TMITA Challenge - Crocus Thank You

For today's Challenge card, we need to follow a sketch that Olga has chosen. I widened mine, and used ribbons for the horizontal pieces. I used Natural White for the base, and my colors are Orchid Opulence and Elegant Eggplant. The EF is from SU. I am very pleased with the result ~ this card is for my son's kindy class aide, who is switching schools. Tomorrow is her last day. She has been amazing and will be truly missed.

TMITA Challenge -More Tulips!

This week's TMITA Challenge was a 1-2-3 challenge:

1 - Paper Cupcakes image
2 - Ribbons
3 - Buttons

We can use more than just that, but we had to use at least those items.  Here is my final result!


Even though I won the 2 images last week, I chose to use an image I purchased, because I've been eagerly anticipating our trip to the Tulip Gardens in Holland next month! 

I also chose to use the "SCS Sketch 268" layout because of a WRAK monthly challenge. The other image and the sentiment were given to me by fellow wishRAK members. It was a hard sketch, and I hope I interpreted it well! 

For the TMITA challenge, I found using the buttons difficult.  I don't use buttons often, so they seem very out of place.  Brads, I can handle those. Buttons, not so much! The ribbons are combined at the bottom; one is a white striped sheer, and the other is cranberry colored. 

Did I mention that I also put fresh flowers on my dining room table this week? (Only cost 8 Euro! LOVE the flowers here!) Perhaps that has also inspired my color choice this week. Nah, they're just my fave colors. Even my wedding colors, 12.5 years ago :)

  
 Hope you're having a great weekend!

Another Blog Challenge!

This time it was for There's Magic In The Air - Paper Cupcake stamps.  (TMITA-PCC)  This free digi download of the bunny cupcake is adorable.  I'm having issues with my printer ink smearing, even with heat setting.  Not sure why - unless it's just one that does!

The challenge was to make anything besides a traditional card, and I chose a CrissCross card, which was new to me.  Found it at Splitcoast, in the the Resources.
















I Love his little ear peeking out! That was my goal.. I think I succeeded.




















I really enjoyed this card; the actual crisscross part was easy, and the hardest part was having to keep redoing the bunny because of smearing!
