Sweet Summer Silhouette

Happy Friday, Everyone.  Today I have a pretty clean and simple card I made for this week's Friday Mashup challenge #166 from Holly and I know exactly who I'm going to be sending this card too. :)  What does Holly have for us this week?

Create a project using "Sequins".

Create a "Hello or Hi" project.

Or Mash it Up! and create a "Hello project with Sequins".

I  have to say I loved the challenge this week, but I don't have any sequins....gasp!  Nope, I haven't bought any yet.  So I used the basic rhinestones from Stampin' Up! instead. :) 

Make sure you check out the other great cards this week HERE at the Friday Mashup.

I'm also a part of the Red Hot Stampers group and never seem to get a chance to play along with their great sketch challenges (Thanks, Rachel!), so this time I was determined I was going to do it!  I hope I get this done in time so I can post it before time runs out...I literally have minutes! lol

And the colors for my card come from this week's Color Throwdown challenge.  Love how these colors look together.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Get Well Wishes

Today's get well card is made using the Paper Craft Crew card sketch #64.  I was trying to use the colors from another challenge, and after I got the card done I realized I totally left one of the colors out.  Not sure how I did that since I had all the colors out, but I'm not going back and adding it in that's for sure! lol

Swaps from Australia

I thought I'd post a few more pics of swap cards today that I got at convention since I still have quite the pile of them sitting on my table.  These are three different cards that I received from ladies that came to convention from Australia and their cards are awesome! 

This first card or maybe I should say bookmark is from Michelle Z.  It is just beautiful.  I love the vintage look and of course the sparkles that have been added.  The whole layout is fantastic.

This second card from Russarna M. is just lovely.  The way she used this set on the card from stamping, to cutting out flowers to making layers in the corner just makes the card pop for me.  The few touches of washi tape and an added strip of an embossing folder just brings it all together beautifully.

My last card from Shannean M. is clean and simple, yet gorgeous.  I'm not sure if she sponged the color, dragged the ink pad across the paper or what, but I love it.  For those of you who know I love sponging this is something right up my alley. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Shimmery Summer Silhouettes

Today's card is another one of my May stamp a stack cards.  This is definitely another card that is not the norm for me.  Well the sponging is, but something about it is not my normal style.  Not sure if that makes any sense to anyone else, but it does to me. lol  I need to broaden my horizons and stretch myself anyway. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
