Fine Art Floral with Ink Blended Background
Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card I made over the weekend showcasing the Fine Art Floral Stamp Set and the new Blending Brushes from Stampin' Up!. This weekend just felt like a time to create a floral card. The weather had been just nasty out and was turning colder, so as you can imagine I am craving some warm weather. Florals just make me feel warm and cozy on the inside. Here's a look at the card that I created.

Warm Wishes - Poinsettia Petals The Spot Challenge #134
Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my card for this week's challenge over at The Spot. This week's challenge is a very fun card sketch. I picked the Poinsettia Petals Stamp set from the August - December Mini Catalog along with the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper to create my card with today.
I wanted to do something fun and festive with the sketch for this week's challenge, but wasn't quite sure what I wanted to use until I sat down and actually was reorganizing my designer series paper and putting the scraps into sleeves. I as was doing this I was actually on this pack of designer series paper and it hit me that the scraps on my table was perfect. Isn't it funny how things just fall into place sometimes. Here's a look at the card that I created for this week's challenge.

The Spot Creative Challenge #131 - CASE the Designer Challenge
Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my card for this week's Creative Challenge over at the Spot. This weeks challenge is a CASE the Designer Challenge and we are CASEing the work of Sara Levin the Artful Inker. To play along with this challenge you just have to pick one of her projects and CASE it. Case means to copy and share everything or Copy and selectively edit. I picked a beautiful Fall themed card that Sara had design to CASE today. I will share the card that was my inspiration and the challenge image just a little later in this post. But first here is the card that I cam up with.
I matted the card front onto a Pretty Peacock mat cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" to my Crumb Cake card base.. I then heat embossed my hello sentiment in Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder onto a strip of Pretty Peacock Cardstock the same as Sara. I also added the Metallic Ribbon from the Basket Weave and Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack under the heat embossed sentiment. I hope that you will play along with us this week over at the Spot. I love Sara's card and I think you will have fun CASEing her this week as well.
