Guitar Pickin' Invitation

 

 

What perfect timing the Colour Challenge from

Just us Girls was for me to practice

making a quick and easy Invitation for my hubby's 70th birthday.

I had made him a birthday card with this stamp set last year

and in the same colours - which got me thinking....

 

 

Not much in making this which is good for mass production.

 

I used White and Orange card stock

The guitar and grunge is from Inspired by Stamping - Guitars

The background is stamped with Kaisercraft Grunge

and Stampin' Up Beyond the Basics

The sentiment is from my stash

Inks are Memento Broken China & Peanut Brittle

Guitar is heat embossed with Blue Pearl Powder

 

I would like to enter this in the current Designer's Choice Challenge

Here for their For the Guys Challenge.

 

Thanks for poppin' in

 

 



Inspired by Stamping Challenge #81

 

I was over at Inspired by Stamping

checking out their latest Blog Challenge

Here and was impressed with the colour choice so decided to

find some pretty paper and stamp and see what I could make.

 

 

from this

 

 

I found this fabulous paper at our local office supplier

Officeworks called Crazed.

 I love the look of it as it is an iridescent paper.

I adhered it to white card base after I inked the

Graceful Hydrangea stamp from Inspired by Stamping.

AND

Sentiment is also IBS - Big Wishes II

The DP is from Gina K 's Victoria Garden

Ribbon is Stampin' Up

Kaisercraft Pearls finished it off.

 

That's it for this posting so till next time

It's a 'House' Sketch Challenge #A1614

 

 

It's been a long time since I got to enter one of the great challenges over at

The House that Stamps Built

and when I saw their latest sketch challenge

and the great inspiration

from the Rock Stars I knew I had to

get in my craft room and create.

 

Here is what I made

 

 

 

from this sketch

 

 

I saw Cheri's embossed background Here 

and knew I had the same folder.

I have been going to use it for ages and it fitted perfectly

for the background of my Daffodils. Thanks SS

 

I used the following items on my card -

Basic white yellow and black card stock

Spellbinders ovals/scalloped ovals

Sizzix butterfly die

Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping -

 Trendy Circle Sentiments

and that beautiful Daffodil is

904W from Repeat Impressions.

Daffodil and Sentiment are popped.

Added a touch of dimensional magic to the centre of the Tulips.

Tulips coloured with Faber-Castell water colour pencils.

 

I had a hard time picking which flower stamp to use

as there are so many gorgeous ones (don't have them all)

 and wanted to use one that the Rock Stars hadn't.

 

I would also like to enter this card in the following challenges -
