Upsy Daisy Challenge

Hi everyone,

 

Just a quick post to share with you a card I have created for the Diva Coffee Break Design Sketch Challenge # 225 & the colour challenge # 39 from ColorLab.

 

Here are the challenges below and you can view the sites if you click on these images.

 

 

The base card is Pumpkin Pie and I have used Very Vanilla as the neutral card stock.

 

I have also rotated the sketch and my card and use the Upsy Daisy stamp set.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Upsy Daisy

Card: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry

Accessories:  3/8” (1 cm) Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Mat Pack for Paper-Piercing, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

Unfortunately I did not have enough room for the sentiment on the front of the card but I will add that on the insert inside the card.

 

A quick card, I like it – if you want to let me know what you think, please leave me a comment.

 

Until next time….. Meg x

I think the Hydrangea in this stamp set is lovely.

Supplies:

Miss You

The inspiration for the layout of my card for this post has been taken from the Diva Coffee Break Design Sketch Challenge # 221.

 

The Diva Coffee Break Design Sketch is below for your reference:

 

 

I have used Early Espresso for the base of my card and I some of the lovely Elegant Soiree DSP.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Punch Potpourri, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Card: Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

Accessories:  Full Heart Extra-Large Punch, Word Window Large Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, 5/8” (1.6 cm) Very Vanilla, Satin Ribbon, Elegant Soiree DSP, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

Even though the Early Espresso is very dark, the card is softened when you had the DSP and some Pink Pirouette cardstock.

 

What do you think?  I am very happy with the end result. 

 

All the best…. Meg x

My Friend Sketch

Morning everyone – hope your Monday is a good one to start the week. 

 

Not like mine last Monday, I left my wallet at home so I had no money for lunch or a Driver’s Licence, it was not good but that was last week – we are on to a new week and new challenges :)

 

Below is a copy of the sketch from The Diva Coffee Break Designs Challenge # 219 and you can visit the site if you click on the image.

 

 

 

 

For my card I have taken the colour inspiration from the Elegant Soiree DSP and I have used Basic Gray as the base card stock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Perfect Punches, Punch Potpourri, Vintage Vogue, Bliss

Card: Basic Grey, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla

I have added a little bling and accessories - this was a great challenge so quick to make the card!

 

It looks good but the card is a little large then normal but I don’t mind.

 

What do you think, give this challenge a go too - it is a winner.

 

Keep creating….. Meg x
