#GDP093. I saw the color challenge this morning and my first thought was Pool Party with Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst?? The last two are part of the 2017-2019 In Colors so I knew they would definitely work together, but Pool Party as the third color made me think. I started flipping through paper and found the Pool Party DSP, then added the Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst cardstock. I cut out the swirl (from Swirly Bird die set), threaded some ribbon through it and added the sentiment. I once again had to use a (Berry Burst) marker to ink just the thanks and not the rest of the for joining us part of the stamp. Guess what ~~ the 3 colors worked!

Have to love when this happens! I has a mental image (kind of) for what I was going to do for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge 003 because I chose the top left to bottom right diagonal: blue, twine, rectangle. Then, a fellow InKing Royalty demonstrator posted her card for the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch 249, and my mental image and this challenge went hand-in-hand. One card, two challenges = winner!
Here’s my card:
#tictactoechallenge, #tttc003 diagonal was blue (check), rectangle (check for the Daisy Delight DSP, and when I decided to use the Brick embossing folder I added another check), and twine (check). Can’t find the twine? Look closely at the center of the flower and you will see the twine. I wanted to keep the card clean while meeting the challenge requirements and I can’t seem to get the hang of the random circles of twine behind card elements. Enter the twine on the center. I love the font on this “thanks” greeting, but didn’t want anything else from the stamp. To solve that problem, I used the Night of Navy marker and colored just the part I wanted. Worked like a charm!
Here’s the challenge board for the #tttc003:
Here’s the sketch for PCC249:
See what I mean about matching up perfectly?
Supplies used: Night of Navy, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight cardstock, Daisy Delight DSP, Daisy Punch, Brick embossing folder, SU Whisper White twine, Night of Navy ink pad and marker.
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a Peachy day!

This card for Fab Friday came together rather quickly. I knew I wanted to use the Pick a Pattern DSP, added the coordinating washi tape on the Whisper White base and added the cute little bird I punched from another piece of paper from the DSP. Basic Black mats, sentiment pieces from the Dare to Dream hostess set and ta-da, card is done!

While I made cards for 4 challenges today, I missed two of the deadlines between last night and this evening. That’s ok, I now have cards with which I am happy and can’t wait to share.
Freshly Made Sketches 293 was one of challenges I can still enter, and I’m pleased to say that I will be giving this card to my daughter, who will be leaving home on Tuesday for 6 weeks of working in Alaska. Heaven help me and I am praying for her safety, journeys, and adventures.
For this card, I had to make a mask to get the semi-circle, then use a dauber with Pool Party on a Whisper White base. I then used the edge of the mask to outline the semi-circle in Lost Lagoon. Sounds easy, right? I had to scrap my first go and start over on the backside of the WW base. That’s the reason cardstock has 2 sides though, right? This fabulous stamp set is a hostess set titled . Whisper White bakers twine finishes the card off.

Guess who and what arrived from the man in the brown truck today! This Little Piggy stamp set and the Pick a Pattern DSP. Love. Love. Love. I can finally make some of my own cards with this fabulous duo. Which is exactly what I did tonight!
GDP092 is Case the Designer this week. I think I got close, but definitely used the card as inspiration. I’ve got the ribbon, the enamel shapes, focal point is in the bottom right hand corner, and double layering mats on the focal point instead of the background. Either way, it was so much fun coloring this adorable pig and making this card. As always, the mats underneath the DSP are ugly with all my cutouts or punches, but no one sees them, so it’s all good.
This set is definitely a keeper and I am going to need some more of this fabulous DSP. It definitely grew on me!
Here’s my card:

I love paisleys, I mean really love paisleys! However, this bundle sat unused on my shelf since it first came out. I finally broke it out for the current #royalchallenge and am pretty pleased with the resulting background and little leaves from the die set.
The colors in this card make my heart happy; So Saffron and Fresh Fig. I used the Happy Birthday die in Fresh Fig. The little leaves were first stamped with Fresh Fig on the matching cardstock. The So Saffron dots are from the Subtles collection.
