Clean & Simple Challenge - Sentiment only

This is for the CAS #61 challenge over at SCS~ sentiment only, and Tina's color challenge over at STV ~  black, yellow & white, and the layout is from CPS.  3 challenges with this basic card~~go figure!  LOL.   I did sew with black thread just to add a little ump to it.  [It is such a REALLY clean and simple card]~~  I used nesties for the outside star and GKD Picture It for the inside stamped stars.  My "Thanks" is from GKD Pressed Flowers.  Easy peasy for this one!!  Thanks for stopping by...

STVBPSLS03 & Stamping Vacation

This card is for Denise's challenge over at Stamping Vacation - Build A Sketch.  It's is a fun challenge - Denise has a list of papers to cut and number- then, every month she gives you the numbered pieces that you use to build a sketch.  I had plans on using my sewing machine for Sharri's Blast From the Past challenge over at STV - sewing on your card.  However, I forgot and put the card together - shoot  --so I used faux stitching (you could do that too on the challenge)  I used GKD Pressed Flowers illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger on GKD paper; In The Navy and Ocean Mist, along with white.  [With my white paper, I don't like to waste my GKD Luxury white on background, or card bases - I save it strictly for coloring with copics.  I buy reams of 80# white paper from Kelly Paper company]  I put some glaze on the flowers but the photo doesn't show that very good.  That's it for me today - thanks for stopping by!  

 

Stampin B's #50

This week Ms. Nancy challenged us to make a green monochromatic card.  I do like monochromatic cards so it really wasn't to much of a challenge!  On my card I colored my white ribbon green with copics and also my flowers!  That is a great trick I picked up in blog land somewhere!  As you can see, I am still working on sewing a straight line ~ LOL.  My Happy Birthday is a $1 Mike's stamp and I used my new K&C designer paper.  I had fun with this challenge!  Feel free to come on over to the Stampin B's and play this week!  We would love to see your wonderful cards!  Thanks for stopping by!!

p.s.  I sure hope I didn't miss anyone last week when I commented!   If I missed you I apologize!  A special thanks to my cyber friends from STV who joined in!  That is so cool!!

Featured Stamper - Angela Crockett

I am drawn to stars this week so I chose this card out of Angela's amazing gallery!  WOW!  She has quite the selection for sure!  I love the vintage look   [I took my trusty big dauber and sponged really rust around the edges for the effect].  I hope you noticed that I attempted my sewing machine (which I FINALLY got threaded correctly so it works right now) - can you see my stitches are ALMOST straight! I am getting there... between coloring with copics and sewing a straight line my personal challenges are still there!  LOL.  I used my new star nesties!  [I so love nesties!]  I also used my new SU punch. This is also for Clearly I Stamp - a square card~ mine is 51/2.
