You Made My Day--#tgifc429

Back today with my entry in this week's TGIF sketch challenge.  Two weeks in a row--this is when I know I am getting back to my old self again!  

I am featuring the Cheerful Daisies Bundle (#161297) again this week.  The background is a set of three strips of designer series paper from the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper pack (#161289) arranged on a piece of Lemon Lolly card stock.  The focal arrangement of three daisies was die cut using a single die from the die set and cutting it out using Basic White card stock for the base and Garden Green, Soft Sea Foam and Crushed Curry for the accent pieces which were trimmed and glued over the corresponding Basic White pieces.  The Crushed Curry flower centers were glued over a piece of Lemon Lolly card stock before fussy cutting them to fit over the the center of the flowers. The greeting was stamped in Pebbled Path on Basic White card stock then trimmed.  A bow of Linen Thread (#104199), three Pebbled Path 2023-2025 In Color Dots (#161620) and a card base of Pebbled Path complete the card.

Have you ever completed a sketch challenge?  It's a great way to help you grow as a stamper and have fun creating.

Have a great week!

Cheerful Daisies Birthday--#tgifc428

This week the TGIF Challenges team has a color challenge for us:  Lemon Lolly, Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black.  It's been a while since I've participated in a challenge, so it took a couple of false starts before my design idea turned into a card I liked!

This card was created using the Cheerful Daisies bundle (#161297, includes stamp set and coordinating dies).  I used Sweet Sorbet Classic and Tuxedo Black Memento inks for the daisies with die cuts out of Sweet Sorbet, Basic Black and Lemon Lolly.  The greeting was stamped in memento ink and die cut using the label die in the Cheerful Daisy die set.  The Lemon Lolly designer series paper used as the background is from the Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" designer series paper pack.  The frame was die cut using two nested dies from the now retired Stitched Rectangles die set to coordinate with the stitched label die used for the greeting.  Five Sweet Sorbet retired 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots complete the card.

Have a great week!
