The Card Concept #138c

 Hi Friends! I made a couple of cards this weekend to play along with a few challenges.  The first card is for The Card Concept with an adorable inspiration photo:

I'm all about my puppies and I was completely inspired by the pup and his/her sunglasses!  I came up with the following card in a Clean and Layered style:

I fell in love with Tim Holtz's Crazy Dogs when they first came out and use that stamp set and dies often when I need a pup.  This pup is watercolored with Zig Clean Brush Markers and looks a lot like my mini Schnauzer, Sydney.  The background was stenciled with Distress Ink and MFT's Brick wall stencil.  I added some grass with Lawn Fawn's Grassy Border die and Honey Bee DSP.  The sentiment is from MFT's Canine Companions stamp set.  Sydney's cool sunglasses were die cut with a glasses die from Impression Obsession and coated with Glossy Accents.  A few enamel hearts from Illustrated Faith finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by ~ have a great week!

Woof,

The Card Concept #135 {Red, White & Blue}

Hi Friends! The latest challenge over at The Card Concept has a great photo for inspiration for a Red, White & Blue theme:

I was inspired to use the supplies I already had on my desk to create this card and just switched up the ink colors to red, white & blue and included silver for the galvanized pots.  My clean and simple one layer card for a patriotic celebration is below:

One thing about this stay at home adventure is that I have pulled things out of my stash that I haven't used in a long time or maybe never used (oops).  The Wreath Turnabout from Concord & 9th was one of the latter and I had fun playing with it.  I used Catherine Pooler's Rockin' Red and Suede Shoes ink, plus Hero Arts' Unicorn ink (white heat embossed), and very old PKGlitz glittery Silver EP Max (heat embossed) for the fourth color.  The sentiment is from Concord & 9th's Little Thoughts dies. I finished the card off with silver confetti sequins from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by ~ Have a great weekend!

The Card Concept #133 - Hello Spring

Hello friends! Lots of flowers happening on my craft desk in hopes of playing along with all the Spring-themed challenges going on right now.  The Card Concept has a beautiful photograph that just made me smile and I'm excited to join in the fun...it's been awhile since I've played over there:

Such a gorgeous picture! I was inspired by the dark pink roses and the white tray:

I used Stampin' Up's Beautiful Friendship stamp set for the rose blossoms and Catherine Pooler's Postage Stamp dies before layering on a Melon Mambo card base.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  A few Stampin' Up Glitter Enamel Dots finished the Clean and Layered card. 

Thanks for stopping by ~ Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
