YNS Fun Friday - Thank you!

Hi all!  YAY for Friday!  That also means it's time for a new sketch and inspiration challenge over on the YNS Blog!  I used the sketch for my card. I colored this cutie from the Soaring By... set and used the matching die to pop him up over the plaid DP.  I used my stitched rectangle dies (currently out of stock) for all of the DP layers and the smooth white layer.  The little tab sticking out was cut out using the file tab die. I decided to jazz it up a bit and added 3 green apple glittered gumdrops.

Bold thanks

Hi all!  Here's a card I made using the FREE when you spend $40 TAWS set for this month called Unique Peek.  I embossed the flowers on watercolor paper in a random pattern, then used my Zig pens to colors them in with bold colors.  I knew I wanted to layer vellum over the top, so the bolder, the better for this one! The sentiment is from Jibber Jabber (so many fun sentiments in lots of COOL fonts!).  I embossed it with white embossing powder.  I also added thin black strips of card stock to the long sides of the main image to help ground it a bit and break up all the bright pink.

What's moo?

Hi all!  Here's a clean and simple card I made using the new TAWS Penguins on Parade set.  There are so many options with this set (and the two new coordinating sets!) - I love it!  I decide to make my penguin a cow and added once of the sentiments from set.  I colored him with Copics then fussy cut him.  I layered him over the Reverse Confetti woodgrain confetti cuts to add to the 'rustic' feel of the card.  The sketch is from the SSSC280.

May all your birthday wishes come true

Hi all!  Here's a card I made for the MTWSC239 sketch challenge and also for Lydia's Dare to Get Dirty challenge.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, head over to SplitCoastStampers and check it out!  I sponged two distress inks - peacock feathers and ripe persimmon - onto smooth white card stock.  I then took the MFT Garden Flourish background stamp and spritzed it with water.  I then took the sponged card stock and layer it on top of the dampened background stamp and pressed down all over the card stock so it would soak up as much water as possible.  The layer you see is the finished (dried!) result!  Love the subtle flourish images that came through!  I then stamped the white circle layer with the same image using Blu Raspberry ink that I had stamped off once.  The sentiment is from the BB Birthday Bears set, as well as the little present that I colored with Copics then fussy cut. I love that MFT's Tropical Teal card stock coordinated so well with the peacock feathers distress ink AND that their persimmon card stock matched the ripe persimmon distress ink!  I also had some enamel dots that matched as well - score!
