Sending Wishes Your Way...

Hi Everyone!

It's time for another lovely sketch over at Atiantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I'm not sure about the rest of the Design Team, but this sketch really pushed me outside my comfort zone but I love the result!  Make sure you swing by the challenge blog on a Wednesday to check out the rest of the creations by the amazing Design Team,  while you are there, why don't you play along with us??

 

My card this week was made especially for my 80-something year old neighbour who fell last week and broke her hip.  So very sad.  But she is one feisty lady and I hope this little card helped to brighten her day just a little.

I decided that I would also play along in this week's colour challenge over at Colour Me...!  Such a gorgeous combination - Elegant Eggplabt, Old Olive and Coastal Cabana.  I, unfortunately, had to do some swaps so the colour combination that I actually used was Perfect Plum, Mossy Meadow and Lost Lagoon.  I know the girls won't mind...

Here is my creation:

Hi Everyone,

I have another card to share with you today - I think I may be on a roll with this crafting thing lately!  I don't think I have posted this much in a long, long time!  Love it!

As always, I drew inspiration from a few challenges:

1. The Challenge

I haven't had a chance to play along with this challenge before but I had a lot of fun doing so this week.

2. The Paper Players

This was a tough challenge for me this week - to have the sentiment as the focal point.  I'm not really sure I pulled it off but I had fun trying!

Here is my card:

I used the new Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration catalogue.  This is such a fun paper, it is an emboss resist paper.  So I sponged a few different colours around and then wiped off any excess so that the stars looked bright and white.  I'm sure I will have a lot of fun with this awesome paper.

I don't know about anyone else out there, but when I was done with this card and looked at the sponged strip, it reminded me of Rainbow Brite...Lol!

Card Recipe (all products are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise indicated):
