Try Stampin on Tuesday #149

Happy New Years Eve everyone.

Today I am sharing a card for Try Stampin on Tuesday.

Ringing in the New Year later and my resolution for this

year is to participate in my challenges outside of my

design teams. So, this is an early start to that.. Here is 

the sketch that they have proivided for us to use..

I must say I really love this..

Along with using this sketch they added a twist and

that was to use some bling..

My card is 5 1/2 X 6. I dug into my scrap bend and

found these two piece of paper that went very well

together. My flower is made with a Spellbinders Shapeablities

Die D-Lite called Blooms Three, and the bling is from Jolene's.

 The Sentiment is a stamp

that I purchased at my local craft store for a $1.00. Don't you

just love deals like that. And finally, my center border is

cut from a Martha Stewart punch.

As I started before I am entering this card over at.

Anything Goes

Hi everyone, Today I am sharing a card that I

am entering into a few challenges. which I don'T

normaly do, due to  time.  Working full time makes it

really hard to spend allot of time on that.. But I really

love working with Moncromatic cards.. And today

Sentimental Sundays  is having a Birthday Bash..

So here the card I am sharing..

Here you can see that I have used to beautiful colors.. White and

a color by Stazon that is called Acure.. I think the colors match

perfectly.. I also used 3 dies. The flowerett that is from Sizzix,

my Cheveron tag by Sizzix and the tattered edge die also from Sizzix.

Behind the flower I have added a dolly and then I embossed a 

large retangle with my snowflake embossing folder also from Sizzix.

So do you think I like Sizzix.. Oh Yeah!

I popped up my flower with a pop dot and added my ribbon.

I hope that you enjoy my card:

 back ground texture. This is a sketch card. I have cute 3~2"

circles from stash paper that cordinated with my card colors.. I then cute

a strip of striped paper to make a chevron banner. Layered my card image

on some white and then black for a little pop.. The swirls are some left overs

that a friend of mine gave me. Sorry I don't know the name of it.. Then I

placed a clump of paper flowers from  Crafty City.

I really enjoyed using this sketch..
