Free Style

Hello bloggers!  This week for the Technique Lover's Challenge at Splitcoaststampers we are to do a little Freestyle Design.  A process of adding elements, layers, stamped images, die cuts...anything that strikes our fancy. I have loads of things  previously die cut, stamped and etc. Some elements were gifts and some are scraps from other projects.

Soft Colors of Spring!

 May Flowers 

For the Ways to Use it Challenge at SCS the challenge hostess ask for cards with flowers. I almost don’t know how to make a card without flowers.

My heart easel congrats card can be used for a variety of occasions. I may use it as a graduation card, or perhaps I'll change the sentiment to Happy Birthday. I can never have enough Birthday cards.

Card Ingredients: Heart shapes die cut with Sizzix Bigz Die "Heart Bag",
The Rose is Sizzix/Tim Holtz Tattered Pinecone, a dollar doily stamped on vellum and fussy cut, 

For the Sketch Challenge and Color Challenge at SCS

Certainly Celery, Bermuda Bay, Regal Rose, Neutral of Choice Dessert Option: Words of Wisdom, Encouragement or Best Wishes

I started by stamping a Penny Black Letter Background on white card stock, embossing in white embossing powder, daubing with Tim Holtz' Distress Stains in tattered rose and shabby shutters and mounting rectangles. The Verve sentiment was stamped onto vellum in white ep and backed with white card stock. 

Thinking Green ...

For the Clean and Simple challenge over at Splitcoaststampers CAS206 
it's a Limited Supplies Challenge 
Monochromatic card PLUS ONE neutral (optional)

This is less “white space” than I usually have for a CAS card. I stamped the Penny Black damask background in Distress ink peeled paint and loaded my brayer with shabby shutters to cover the damask. I than stamped the Magenta flower image in Distress ink forest moss and the popped up flowers in shabby shutters.
