I did paper piece the table....talk about a small space, LOL!! I used more of the DSP on the base. The colors are Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip. All the ribbons are from SU, and the brads are from Making Memories(bought at a scrapbook store in Nashville, In.). I used my SU Circle punches for the sentiment and did a ton of paper piercing. Sorry for another short post, but it is late and I NEED to get to bed!! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!
For my sketch I chose to use one of my favorite Prettie stamps, Simply Special. The watering can was paper pieced with some Parisian Breeze DSP and the rest of the image was colored with my Copics. I used my SU scallop punch for the DP circles. The colors on this card are Chocolate Chip, Kraft, and Baja Breeze. The ribbon is from the retired Valet Ribbon Originals. I am in a huge hurry this morning, so be sure to check out this thread for all the details about the challenge and to play along!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Anywho, today the new My Favorite Challenges are announced, and I am LOVING them!! This week's sketch is another SUPERFAB one from Cindy. I started with the SUPER cute new Catch Some Rays set. I stamped my girl on an MFT Perfect Panel and colored her in with my Copics. I then paper pieced the umbrella using some Pink Flamingo DSP, and popped it up over her head. the colors I layered her with are Summer Sun, Tempting Turquoise and Regal Rose. I added some SU Regal Rose ribbon,and added my sentiment panel. It was punched out using my SU punches. I love that DSP in the background, makes me think of the sun shining down!!
My next card was made for this week's My Favorite Challenge. This week's theme is a Child Theme...and we were given two different Inspiration pieces! I chose THIS one from Pottery Barn Kids. Isn't that the cutest towel?? I love it, and I think my nieces would love it too!! I stamped my Isabelle Paper Doll on an MFT Perfect panel, along with the fish and her tail. The fish and tail were all colored with Copics and then cut out. I then colored her with my Copics and used my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties to cut her out. She is layered with Lavender Lace, Tempting Turquoise and Pink Passion. The white Satin ribbon is from SU, and the brads are from Spare Parts. I stamped the sentiment directly on my piece of DCVW Nana's Nursery DP. I glued the fish on separately, and her mermaid body, and then did some piercing around the edges.
I started by stamping my boxes on an MFT Perfect Panel and then I colored them with my Copics. They were then layered with Old Olive, Tangerine Tango and So Saffron. The layers and main image were cut out and embossed using my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties. The DP is from the SU Haiku pack that is now retired...so sad. I added some silver brads, lots of piercing, and some SU ribbon. the white panel, and sentiment are Gina K. White(80lb). The sentiment was punched out with my Word Window punch. Anyone need this card, let me know and it is YOURS!! I am not moving, no matter how much I WANT to, lol!! 
So, if you are like me, and can't resist a good sketch, please play along!! We would love to have you!! You can click on the picture to make it bigger, but it is pretty self explanatory!!
Dont' I wish!! Seriously though, I made this card for this past Friday's Weekend Sketch Challenge, hosted by my pal Charmaine!! As soon as I saw the cute little circles, I KNEW what I was going to put in them. I started by stamping my three drinks from Life's A Beach (I just saw that this set was out of stock, I am so sorry!! Jessica is usually pretty quick to get them back though, so no fear)on an MFT Perfect Panel with Memento tuxedo Black ink. I then colored them in with my Copics. They were punched out with my 1 1/4in circle punch, then layered with either Regal Rose or So Saffron, which was punched with the 1 3/8ths. The scalloped circles are Old Olive. All three punches are from SU. The DSP is from the Georgia Peach pack, and I used the previously mentioned colors for my layers. I then added some So Saffron polytwill ribbon, some Regal Rose wide grosgrain, Old Olive narrow grosgrain, and then some white grosgrain. The brads are from Spare Parts(Hobby Lobby). I added some crystal effects to the drinks to make them shiny...now if only my cabana boy would bring me one???!!!
Today's challenge was a sketch provided by Allison, and it is a GOOD one!! You KNOW how much I love a sketch right?! For today's sketch, I used the GORGEOUS new Garden Gate stamp set. I started by stamping my main image, which is all one image, on an MFT Perfect Panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored it in with my Copics. It was layered with Cameo Coral and Kiwi Kiss. The DSP is from the Walk in the Park pack from SU. All my ribbons are from SU, and the spiral clips are ones that I bought at Joann's over the weekend. They actually came with letter charms attached to them, but I just took them off. I used my scalloped edge punch to create the scallops and did a bunch of piercing. 
To start, I stamped my image, from the TSG set Bloom, on an MFT Perfect Panel. I then colored it with my Copics, and cut it out with my Circle Nesties. The colors on my card are Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi, and Chocolate Chip. The DSP is from the Afternoon Tea pack from SU(retired). I did a bunch of piercing, used my small oval punch for the sentiment, and the scalloped edge was done with my SU eyelet border punch. 
For my card today, I wanted to find a cake to be inspired by. Awhile back, Julie directed us all to this super awesome website, Pink Cake Box, for inspiration(at least I think it was her), and I have become OBSESSED with looking at their cakes...they are amazing!! I saw this cupcake cake, and I HAD to use it as my inspiration!! Since it was so close to this week's Prettie Challenge, I decided to go ahead and make my card for it as well. I also used Jen's Sketch from Saturday. My colors are Vintage Violet, Sage Shadow, and Close To Cocoa. The DSP is from the Close to Cocoa pack. I used the super cute Lovebug stamp set from Paper Pretties for my main image, and the sentiment is from the Bugs and Fishes set. Charmaine has a thing for ladybugs, so I wanted to use this image for her!! I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on an MFT Perfect Panel and colored her in with my Copics. The ribbons are from SU, as well as all the brads. I ran the small Violet panel through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.
