Inspiration Skeem

The inspiration challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers this week is the website Skeem. Such lovely products! For my card inspiration, I picked this perfume bottle. This card also used the SCS sketch from today's challenge.

I started by using an Anna Griffin background stamp inked in Stampin Up's blue bayou ink on baja breeze cardstock. I then embossed French Flair and Upsy Daisy in white over the top of those panels. The sentiment is from Sense of Time (love the sentiments that come in that set!!)

Have a great day!

Grandin Road Inspiration

My card today is a *late* participation in the Grandin Road Inspiration Challenge over at SCS. I was so inspired by the collaged postcard images at Grandin Road - what a fun card project! The hydrangea is colored with Prismacolor pencils. My laundry list of stamps used (so fun!): PSX (hydrangea), Martha Stewart (butterflies), Stampington, Hero Arts, Stampin' Up, Limited Edition.

I'll leave you with a few pictures I took at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham, North Carolina. We visited for Easter sunrise service, and the gardens were in their full glory. Have a beautiful day!

Created by Hand Spring Challenge

I made this card for the Spring challenge at Created byHand, using the sketch challenge over at SCS. I have been hoarding my Basic Grey Periphery paper and diecuts (LOVE THEM!), but decided to take the plunge and finally use it LOL! I also used stamps from PSX, the Angel Company, and Stampington, along with some SU Kiwi Kiss ink and paper, Colorbox pigment ink, and some K and Co. paper. Thanks for looking!

Mojo Monday

A little French flavor for the Mojo Monday Challenge this week. The Eiffel tower and flourish images are from Stampington, and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up. I used Parisian Breeze DP, along with part of a page from an old (1920s) French reader (the pale blue stamp on the text is from the $1 bin). This was a really fun sketch to work with - I tweaked it just a little bit, but hopefully kept the flavor!
