Wags 'N Whiskers: Lots of Layers

Today over at Wags 'N Whiskers, the challenge is Lots of Layers. I love layers and had a lot of fun with this challenge. Can I just say that I love being on this Design Team? I love being on this Design Team. k. I said it.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I used the stamp "He Loves Me" for this project.  I really like card sketches, too, because they give me a jumping off point when I'm "card stuck".  This one is from Retro Sketches (#164).  I decided to enter this card in their challenge since, well, I already had it done!

Here is a list of the supplies I used:
Stamps:  He Loves Me (Wags 'N Whiskers); Thanks So Much (Rhododendron/The Garden Society)
Ribbon and Dot Accents: Recollections (Michael's)
Paper: Fall Matstack (DCWV)
Other Supplies:  Punch (EK Success); Washi Tape; Cardstock

Hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to play along!

Til next time, keepin' it crafty!

Unscripted Sketches #196

Love This Sketch!

Today's card was created with inspiration from Unscripted Sketches Challenge #196.  After a couple of tries with different stamps and techniques, I settled on a very simple, but very striking combination.  And who doesn't need extra Thank You Cards on hand?  

The Challenge:

The Result:

Unscripted Sketch #196

I used some flecked paper for the top layer and heat embossed the design and sentiment.  The border stamp is from Autumn Leaves Stampology and the sentiment is from Kolette Hall.  I used a steel blue embossing powder and colored in the sentiment background with a blender pen and Not Quite Navy ink from Stampin Up.

Well, there ya have it!  Hope you find some inspiration too.  Happy crafting!

CAS-ual Friday Challenge

Clean and Simple Thank You!

I am happy to be participating in the CAS-ual Fridays weekly challenge (CFC84).  This week's challenge was to create a clean and simple Thank You Card.  And I'm happy to do just that!  You can never have too many Thank You cards in your stash!

Here is my entry:

CFC84 - Ro Donner

The cardstock and bling I used was from Recollections.  I cut out a heart by hand and used the negative stamp on my cardstock.  The stamps were from Stamps By Judith (Open Heart and Dots) and Hero Arts (Tiny Backgrounds).  The two different inks were from Stampin' Up! (Pretty In Pink and Pink Passion), and the sentiment stamp was from My Creative Time (This & That).

I hope you enjoy my card and I hope you'll play along!  

Happy Crafting!
