Sweet Sunday Birthday

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC207

Surprise, surprise…I created yet another birthday card. This one is already in the mail to my Mom. Her birthstone is an amethyst so I went with a purple flower.

I just love all the white space on this card, but I added a sprinkling of sequins for a little sparkle. The sentiment is from Just My Type.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's Blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Happy Birthday

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC206.

I love the main circle on this sketch. Well frankly, I love just about any circle on a sketch, and I used this week's sketch to create a birthday card for a sweet friend who celebrated yesterday. Happy Birthday Lisa!!!

Pure Innocence Birthday Princess was a perfect choice and I paper pieced her dress and crown with patterns from the Fancy Pants Wonderful Day collection. I added sparkle to the heart and the candle flames with my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen. I mounted her on foam tape for a little dimension.

For the flag accent I used the Mix and Match Banner Die-namics but I trimmed the sides because it was a little wider than I wanted. The dots in the background were stamped using Natural ink on Kraft card stock and I love the subtle look.

On the inside I added a sentiment from Birthday Greetings and another strip of patterned paper.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Love

Happy Ground Hog Day and Happy Superbowl!!! I'm hoping for no shadow and go Broncos!! (that's for you Karen G.).

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC205.

I couldn't resist creating another Valentine. Or maybe this could be a wedding card? Or even an anniversary card?

I was stumped with the sketch at first. I couldn't figure out which image to use so I flipped through my collection of dies and landed on the word "LOVE" from Accent It - Celebrate Die-namics, and the rest of the card then fell into place.

For the heart I knew I wanted to give it a generous coating of glossy accents so I die cut the heart three times and adhered the layers together to prevent any warping from the glossy accents. The sparkle under the glossy accents is thanks to my clear Wink of Stella pen…love it!!! I pressed the key right down into the wet glossy accents to secure it in place. Isn't it pretty with all the sparkle and shine!!!

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.
