It's All in the Numbers

This week's challenge at H2H blog is all about the numbers.  The goal is to use numbers in your project.  Here is the link to Heart 2 Heart.  I made this card:

I also used the Mojo Monday sketch for the design of today's card.  Click Here to go to their blog.  Here is the sketch:

  I used X7140B Roxie Paper Pack for my card.  I also used C1440 Take a Picture for the corner piece and the swirls.  I used the beautiful flower from D1470 Dreams Come True set.  I stamped it 3 times using the rock-n-roll method with Smoothie ink first then rolling the edges in Tulip ink before stamping onto the Colonial White paper.  I then cut it out into the three layers inked the edges using Desert Sand ink and stacked them back up using 3-d foam tape.  The sentiment "Happy Birthday!" and "you" came from D1475 Card Chatter-Birthday stamp set.  Finally the number 2 is from C1401 Friendship alpha small.

Have a great day!

It's a Sketch Challenge

Hi Friends
This week it has taken me all week to get the challenge up on my blog, so I apologize for the delay.  Here it is....
It is a sketch challenge!  Oh, how I love those.  I don't know why, but I usually can just whip out the card with ease when someone else tells me how it is suppose to look.  On to the challenge:

Here is my card:

I used the wonderful new Dreamin' paper pack X7142B. I just love those colors. The background piece is actually one full sheet then I put the blue leaf pattern over the top of that backing the two strips with some chocolate cardstock. Then for the horizontal line I used a piece of off-white twill ribbon and two Pacifica colored brads from the fanfare brads. For my center image I used a very old retired stamp set for the journaling frame which I stamped in a second generation Pacifica Blue so it would be a little bit lighter. Then I stamped the Birthday sentiment from D1475 Card Chatter - Birthday set. The flowers are from the D1306 Treasure Life stamp set. I really love that stamp set. I just matted that with chocolate cardstock and attached it using 3-D foam tape. Pretty simple, but a lovely card.  I made it for an upcoming birthday.  Is it yours?

Sketch Challenge at Heart 2 Heart

Hi Everyone - where has the month of March gone?  I can not believe that it is already the last week of the month.  Wow!
Today at Heart 2 Heart Challenges they are doing a sketch challenge.  I do love a good sketch challenge, so I was excited to make this card today.
Here are the two options for the sketch:

You can make it a circle shaped card like this.....

Or...You can put the circle on a standard card like this:

I decided to do the second version.  I used a standard card base made with White Daisy Cardstock.  Then I cut out a circle out of scratch paper to make a mask, and placed it on my cardbase.  I used sponges, Blush Ink and Hollyhock Ink to sponge around the circle.  Removed the mask and it left a perfect white circle on my card base.  Here is the card:

I used the beautiful Sophia paper pack (X7131B) from the new Spring/Summer Idea Book.  I just love those colors.  I added some black cardstock too.  The stamp sets are C1397 Smiles for the funky little flower and flourishes and D1475 Card Chatter - Birthday for the sentiment.  I added three black pearls from the Licorice Opaques embellishments (Z1335).  I cut out the flower and colored it in using Blush and Hollyhock Markers.  For the center of the flower I just stamped the flower again using Goldrush Ink and then added the pink dots with my Hollyhock Marker.  Then I cut it out and glued it right on top of the center.  I'm thinking about adding a little liquid glass to the center to make it shiney too.

Be sure to post your artwork, I just love to see what everyone comes up with.  If you want any or all of these products you can order them on my website http://debidavis.myctmh.com/.
