Birthday Sketch Challenge

In this DOstamper Stars sketch challenge I took a little different approach to it.  Instead of layering it up, I layered it down.  How I did this is by making a Shaker Card.  I am just loving all the different Shaker cards that I have seen lately.  They are so much fun!! And who wouldn't enjoy getting one!

I love how this card turned out!!

What I like most about this card is all the GREAT embellishments!!  And besides it is a shaker card!  When I first seen the Pom - Pom trim I wasn't that excited about it....but then it just grew on me and now I am loving it!  I also love the Sequin trim that came out about a year ago in Gold.  But with the Occasion Catalog that came out, they now have it in Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim.   These trims just give it that extra little touch!

Inside the shaker part of the card I took the Sequin Assortment with some punched out Silver Glitter Paper.  To punch out the little circles I used the 1/8 Hole punch.  I added these to give that sparkle!  The saying on the card from a new set that also came out in the Occasions Catalog.  This set is a great birthday set.  It is called "Balloon Bash", below is a picture of the set.

Loving this set!

Flowering Color Challenge

This week is a color challenge for the DOstamper Stars.  LOVE - LOVE this color combo!!  You too can join in on the fun with all the starts.  We would love to see what your creation looks like as well.  You can email me at jntcrlsn@yahoo.com and I will post your creation right here for everyone to see.  How great is that!

Two of the colors are In Colors.  Do you know which ones they are?  If you said Blackberry Bliss (My all time favorite) and Hello Honey, you are right.  Rich Razzleberry is also a very rich looking color.

As you can see in the flowers they are 2 toned, I inked up the stamp in Rich Razzleberry and then rolled the outside edges in Blackberry Bliss.  This is called Rock -n- Roll technique.  I did take a sponge and soften the color contrast a little.  I really like how these to colors offset each other.  Wondering about the flower itself...it is a new set that Stampin' Up! came out with in the Occasion Catalog.  It is called "Petal Potpourri".  What is even better - is that you can buy the stamp set and the punch as a bundle and SAVE 15%!

How great is this!!

I really like that Stampin' Up! has come out with bundles that saves us 15%!

The Hello Honey striped Designer Series Paper that is on the card comes from the "Moonlight DSP Stack".

Gotta love the stacks!

For the saying "Sending Wishes Your Way" comes from a new set that has come out in the Occasions Catalog, it is called "Butterfly Basics".  Again Stampin' Up! has bundled this stamp set with Butterfly Thinlits so that you can SAVE 15%
