CTMH-- Sketch Challenge Cards

I'm back with THREE cards created for more challenges!!!

I came across Deconstructed Sketch over the weekend and decided to make a card for the challenge! 

Gnarly Birthday!


While creating my layout for the Later Sk8r workshop, I thought the skater image would make a cool card!  I used the Later Sk8r papers, Later Sk8r assortment & stamp set.  The sentiments are stamped with Card Word Puzzle.

Here's the Deconstructed Sketch # 89



I also found "The Sweetest Thing" card sketch site this weekend and got to work on their Sunday Sketch. 

My first card:



I used CTMH's new Chantilly paper pack and Chantilly workshop stamp set and Chantilly Assortment for this card.  I was unsure what to do with the pie shaped stamps, but they worked perfect with this sketch :)  For the sentiment, I used the March Stamp of the Month- Floral Happiness.  I stamped on the inside as well "having you as a friend".


Second Card:



This sketch seemed to work so well that I gave it another shot!  I had just a little bit of Stella paper leftover and paired it with Hollyhock cardstock and ribbons.  Don't you just love the zipper lace ribbon at the bottom!  I cut the scalloped circle with Art Philosophy.  I stamped some flowers and leaves, using the 2 step stamping technique from the March Stamp of the Month- Floral Happiness. I left it blank inside so I could use it for any occasion!

Here's the Sweet Sunday Sketch 178



Thanks for stopping by!  Check back for more challenge cards...... I'm addicted!

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
