Mojo Monday Sketch 275

I  know it's actually Wednesday but I have entered a challenge over at Mojo Monday.

A new sketch is posted every Monday and the ideas people come up with are amazing.  Here is the sketch.

 

And here is my card:

 

 

 

• I managed five different colours on the same stamp by using my Stamp n Write markers applied directly to the stamp.
• Don't you love how the DSP reflects the pattern of the cupcake base?
• The Polka Dot Embossing Folder echoes the spots on the top of the cupcake.

 

 It's great fun to challenge yourself once in awhile!  Make sure you check out the other entries over at Mojo Monday.

JAI Challenge 106 (but only my third!)

Over at Just Add Ink they have a sketch challenge this week.  Here is the sketch...

And here is my card.  I kept it pretty simple and did not add a sentiment.  I am happy with the white embossing behind the flower.

I hope you like my interpretation.  Pop on over to Just Add Ink to see what others have done. 

I'll have to leave off the recipe as I've got a big card order to fill and have to get on with it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just Add Ink Challenge 102

If you are stuck for ideas for creating cards, there are plenty of challenge blogs on the net.  It's fun to try a challenge once in awhile to take you outside your comfort zone!  One site I like to visit is Just Add Ink.  This year, I hope to enter a few more of their challenges!  (I entered only one last year!)

This week's challenge is Just Add Kathy Tanner.  Challenge participants visit Kathy's blog, choose a card and CASE it.  This is the card created by Kathy that I chose.

I loved the one little brad in the corner and the tiny tags on the bow.  The red butterfly in the centre also caught my eye.  Here is my version.

Kathy used some Smooch Spritz on the swirly underneath panel.  I used Shimmer Paint Spray.  You can juuuust see it in the picture below....or maybe not.

JAI Challenge

Over at Just Add Ink this week's challenge is Just Add a Die Cut.  I often have a look at the entries but thought I would try to enter my own this week. 

This is my first use of the gorgeous Petal Cone Die, from the new catalogue.  And Wisteria Wonder is my favourite colour at the moment.

Here's another photo to give you a better idea of its shape.  I wrapped some choccies in co-ordinating DSP to go inside.

And a close up of the flower - using the Fun Flowers die and an Antique Brad in the middle.

Card:  Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Whisper White
Tools:  Big Shot!!, Fun Flowers. Petal Cone Die
Accessories:   Antique Brad, Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon
