SC181

Woohoo! I'm on a roll. This is my 6th post this week!! I think my mojo is definitely back =)...now if only I wasn't bored with most of my stamps, lol. My stamp room hasn't seen new rubber in so long. I did just place a small order yesterday though =). I got From the Kitchen and some other stuff to make a recipe box. I'm really looking forward to starting on that. Oh, and Erin Bailey sent my a GORGEOUS card yesterday with some Bloomin' Beautiful images =). I didn't even like that set till I saw her card, but now I LOVE it! You can see the card HERE. but it's even prettier in person.

I did both of these cards for SC181 on SCS. I love this sketch! And I'm so proud of myself. I haven't touched looks like spring in forever...probably at least a year. =) BTW, I got the piercing idea from Becky Carafa. I just loved the way she pierced around the main panel. I got the color combo from the verve visual blog.
-Stamps-Looks Like Spring and Embrace Life
-Paper-So Saffron, Kraft, Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock; So Saffron and Real Red prints paper
-Ink-So Saffron and Real Red
-Accessories-Mat Pack, Paper Piercer and Build a Brad

The main panel on this card was done by masking and sponging.
-Stamps-Embrace Life, One of a Kind, and Ginormous Flowers (for the leaves).
-Paper-Certainly Celery, Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate chip and Whisper White cardstock; Rose Red and Pretty in Pink prints.
-Ink-Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery.
-Accessories-Mat Pack, Paper piercer, Pink Taffeta and clear rhinestone brad.

I made these a few days ago, I just forgot to post them. I'm a bad blogger. I don't update enough =).

I made this card for my husbands grandma (still haven't mailed it).
-Stamps-Doodle This and Polka Dots & Paisley.
-Ink-Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Whisper White Craft ink.
-Paper-Rose Red, So Saffron and Chocolate Chip cardstock. So Saffron prints designer series paper.
-Accessories-Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain(retired), white Signo gel pen and Watercolor Wonder Crayons.

This one I'm not too crazy about, but I was trying to make myself use Looks Like Spring, which I rarely pick up anymore. I don't think the So Saffron or the Regal Rose fit in with the Rose Red and Old Olive. The layout of this card was a CASE from page 41 in the new catalog. The ideas in there are soooo much better this year!
-Stamps-Looks Like Spring and Artfully Asian

The scalloped circle on this card was made using the corner rounder punch. You can see a tutorial for that HERE. The layout was a CASE from Jeanne S on SCS. You can see her card HERE.
