IA122- Better late than never!

Ok, so I have been absent for a alittle longer than I thought.. but what is that saying.. "When it rain it pours?".. I am not yet back 100% but please bear with me, I will get there. The sun is shining and spring is in the air.

Here was my card for Gretchen Barron's Inspiration in Action Challenge 122 , which I missed posting for.

I used marker on the Upsy Daisy stamp and then a light mist of water before applying it to the paper, to give the water painting look.

Ingredients: Stamp - Upsy Daisy, Whimsical Words; CS- Pomegranate, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Whisper White, Shades of Spring DSP; So Saffron Ribbon; scalloped edge punch, circle punches; dimensionals

Hop To It!

Many times people ask where you get your inspirations from.. and the list is honestly endless.

So when I got this Popcorn Factory magazine in the mail, and saw this, I immediately knew I had to try this out! I haven't gone back to make the sidekick, but maybe I will.

With all being said, here is my card:

Here is the close ups of the little chick- a -dee.

Ingredients: Stamp Set: Just so sayings; CS:Orchid, YoYo Yellow, Only Orange, Passon Pink, Pink pirouette, Shades of Spring DSP; Inked the edges of the Shades of Spring eggs. Wide oval, Large oval, small oval, snowflake punches;Black gel pen for eye, and Hemp for the tie on.

Inside is a non SU! Sentiment:

So where do you get your inspiration?

Clean Simple Man

Did you think this was going to be blank?

Were you expected a hot steamy babe here?

Or are you under the impression there is no such thing as a

"Clean Simple Man"?

Now that I have your attention, here is todays card:

Ingredients: Stamp: Starring You (which is on the SAB list & in Big Catty); CS: Shades of Spring, Garden Green, Black, Vanilla; Ribbon- Celery; Ink: Garden Green; Others: Scallop Edge punch, Circle punches (1 1/2 & 1 3/4), Dimensionals

Here is a closer look at the ribbon that I just overlaped (sneaking some glue dots in the ribbon layers) and then used Sticky Tape to hold the ribbon down all together.

Thanks for stopping by! ...

***AS FOR A "CLEAN SIMPLE MAN"

... LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SUCH A THING, WOULD YOU PLEASE? ***

Never more than a thought away..

This Shades of Spring DSP is becoming a quick favorite of mine! I love all the colors even thought I have only used one sheet! I mixed it with Melon and Celery- added some brads, ribbon and then punched the edges of the layered paper.

I call this my Carole'Anne card !!! I hope you like it!


Ingredients:
Stamps: Whimsical Words
CS: Shades of Spring, Melon textured, Celery
Oval scalloped punch, Wide oval punch, Melon ribbon, Dimensionals, eyelet edge punch, silver brads

Its your birthday!

So make a wish and here's to all of them coming true!

And a milk carton with goodies to help your day get even better!

So the Shades of Spring DSP is used on both these items. I used a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers for the Milk carton (you can get two from 8 1/2 x 11 CS). The "Today is your birthday" comes from FYI stamp set. I used the coordinating CS colors - Certainly Celery, So Saffron, & Pixie Pink on both projects.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO ALL OTHER FELLOW PISCEANS!!!!
