Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash Group on Splitcoaststampers.  Suzy is our hostess this month and she chose the theme of "Spring Flowers".   She had a little extra challenge to choose a flower that grows in our yard/garden.  Since I live in a maintenance provided neighborhood, I have very little planting space.  We did plant a lilac bush last year because that is my favorite flower.  The scent is just amazing.  This is called Korean Spice which is not as fragrant as the old fashioned that I loved as a child but size wise works well in our space.

So of course I had to make a lilac card.  I used Newton Nook Lilac stamp.  I stamped it and colored it with my copic markers.  I used some purple cardstock and ran the top part of the card through a basket weave embossing folder.  I then added a piece of Simple Vintage Lavender Fields paper.  The sentiment is from Newton Nook Peony Blooms.  I then added a couple pinkfresh purple gems.

Thanks Suzy for a great challenge this month.

PIP Challenge #2617

 This weeks challenge #2617 at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Creative Worship Stamps.  

This is a new company to me and I had a hard time deciding which digital image to use.  So I used two.  The first image is from a set called Crazy About Cocoa.  I started off by printing the whole sheet of images and started coloring different images with my copic markers.  I then used my scan n cut to cut them out.

I decided on using the mug with the mouse for my card today along with the sentiment You Warm my heart.  

My second card I used Spring Flower Blocks Line Art Print.  I loved the smaller squares and colored them with my copic markers.  I then decided on the 2 flowers I wanted to use for my card today.  I still have 2 more images to make another card.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I hope you check out Creative Worship Stamps because they have wonderful products.

Creative Crew

  The 15th of the month sure seems to roll around quickly.  This means it is time for our creative crew group on Splitcoaststampers post their card for the challenge for the month.  Barb is our hostess this month and her challenge is using a floral Pinkfresh Studio image called "Never Give Up".  I always love floral stamps because they are so much fun to color.

I used the stamped image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then used a corner rounder on all edges of the white cardstock.  The pink background is paper from Carta Bella Flora No 3.  I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Dotted Scallop Rectangle Die to cut out the scalloped edges.   I added a few gems from Honey Bee Simply Spring gems and placed them on the center of the yellow flowers.  The sentiment is from the same Pinkfresh stamp set.  Such a great image to work with.

PIP Challenge #2615

 Today's Challenge #2615 over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn this week.  

                                                     

I am such a big fan of Lawn Fawn Stamps because you can create the most adorable scenes with their stamps.  I couldn't decide which stamp set to use so I pulled out one I haven't used in a while.

The stamp set I used is called Flamingo Together.  I stamped out the images and used the matching dies to cut them out.  I then cut them out with my copic markers.  I used a wave die that I had and circle die for the background of the flamingos.  The blue background paper is from Echo Park Wish Upon A Star.  Doesn't this card just remind you of the beach?

I noticed that this stamp set will be retiring soon on the Lawn Fawn website so if you want to purchase, you might want to grab it soon.
