I finally have finished a card I can post to FMS challenge! I’ve tried for the past few challenges and always wind up with something too busy, but I kept it simple today. Eastern Beauty greeting meets Delightful Daisy DSP in Calypso Coral. This DSP is so versatile and fun to use. For the 3 square boxes I used the Stitched Shapes framelits, which are very quickly becoming my favorite go-to framelits.
Here’s my card:

Here’s the sketch for FMS # 292:

When I first saw this color combo, I was a little concerned about making the Lemon Lime Twist work with the Daffodil Delight and Pool Party, but this is a great trio of colors. I used the Eastern Beauty bundle for the stamps in the background. I always love making my own paper, and these stamps and colors were soft and subtle, and works (at least for me). Layering all the pieces from the framelits was fun!

My DH’s boss’ 7 year old son has been in and out of the hospital with pneumonia and stomach issues for more than a week. DH wanted to have a get well card for the son, so I did this. FMS # 291’s sketch is shown below, but I turned it on it’s side for this card, mainly because the hug monster fit better with this orientation. DSP is Cupcakes and Carousels. In making this card, I found out that I need to get some options for get well sentiments and also some Bermuda Bay paper (fingers crossed on that purchase).
Here’s my card:

Fab Friday’s challenge was to use all 5 of the new In-Colors for 2017 – 2019. It took a little bit of playing around, but I did it. All 5 colors, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Tranquil Tide, and Powder Pink, are individually gorgeous, but getting them all in one card was truly a challenge. The Crafting Together stamp set fit what I needed. I haven’t gotten any of the In Colors ribbon or bakers twine yet, so I used the Tranquil Tide marker and colored some black & white bakers twine. Here’s my card:

Brand new challenge, and I love the flexibility of a tic-tac-toe board! My choice was circle, free, and white. I knew I wanted Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black because I am in love with that color combo, and remembered I already had this background paper stamped, and the rest fell into place. Love the Eastern Palace stamp set and the Label Me Pretty bundle! #tttc001

Today’s Global Design Project challenge card is a fun one. My upline, Brian King, also has a challenge for our SU group to use brand new products from the 2017-2018 catalog. This card uses the new Daisy DSP, the daisy punch, and stamp set. Fun!

As you can see, I had my own spin on this sketch, but that just means that I get to do another card using the same inspiration!
Enjoy!
