Retro Sketches #5

Morning everybody,

I am free today. My client just cancelled her therapy session. Since I did all my cooking in the morning before the children left to school, I have all day to craft except I need to vaccum the house. My doggie Charlie has started his biting phase again and been chewing up his blanket and fabric fibre is all over the house :( Before I start vaccuming, I made this card for Retro Sketches #5

Supplies: 

Cardstock: Stampers Select White from PTI, Melon Mambo and Bashful Blue from SU

Stamps: YOF mini, Birthday Basics and Retro Background stamps from PTI, Hip to be Square and Geo Graphic from Paper Smooches

Inks: Hero Arts Pool ink, Colour Box Frost White, Archival Jet Back Ink

Accessories: White embossing powder, heat gun and scissors

There is some fuzzy cutting of flowers and leaves but other than that lots of stamping. I love the fresh look of the card. Hope you do too.

Here is the sketch for you.

If you like to play along the sketch challenge then here is the link to the challenge blog :)

Edited: I am also entering this card for Lily Pad Cards Flower Challenge .

Have fun crafting :)

Gilded Lily Award

I am going to brag today because I am given the rights to unlimited bragging (giggle). I saw a few comments congratulating me on my win at Lily Pads Blog. So I went over to the blog and scrolled down. I saw my card and I don't know what came upon me that I closed the page. I think I didn't expect it as a winner and also it has been sometime since I made this card. After a few minutes, I went back to the blog and re read it again. I am honoured and humbled that this card of mine is picked as a winner :) 

Thank you so much.

I also get a $25 gift certificate fro Purple Onions Designs. This will be my first buy from them. I have seen a few fantastic projects made using their stamps. Very excited. Cannot wait to choose some of their stamps :)

I did promise to blog about my opinion on The Hunger Games Movie today. It has been a busy and long day. I am hoping after dinner I will get sometime with my laptop to blog. So hopefully another blog post coming soon :)

See you soon!

Thank You!

So glad to be back on my weekday routine after a looong weekend. Work was good and rest of the day was busy with running errands, cooking and driving my daughter down to the pool for swimming lessons. All done and dusted for today. So it is sharing time. I made this card for Kathy's Lily Pad Palette challenge.

Well, I will never even think of putting these three colours together. Thats because I am a bright colour girl. I cannot do soft and neutral colours. So this was a challenge for me. I want to use these colours to see how they look on a finished card. 

Here is the card.

I am amazed with how well these colours go together and the result is fantastic! I should not be bragging about my own card but I love it. Gosh! I will use this combination more often. Thanks for the colour palette, Kathy!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Sweet Blush from PTI, Close to Cocoa and River Rock (I think! It is an old SU colour! Sorry don't remember off my head now )

Stamp set: Delicate Blossoms and Dictionary Greetings from Hero Arts. Sentiment from PTI

Accessories: scrap paper from stash, Pinking edge die from PTI, Liquid Applique Pearl.

Thanks for visiting and see you soon :)

Kissing Challenge lol!

Not that type of kissing challenge but I do like the way you think :) This is kissing technique challenge using stamps. Simon Says Stamp store has this challenge on Lily Pad Cards blog. I remember seeing it some where, tried the technique on a card and totally forgot about it. Yesterday I when I was browsing, I came across this challenge on Lily Pad Cards blog. Aha!
