Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #29

I'm really diggin' this fairy stamp! I can't seem to put it down! And Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #29 had such bright, vibrant colors that I could just see all over that stamp!


The colors this week are Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Taken With Teal and Pacific Point. What a fabulous color combination!!!


I toned down the Taken With Teal for the leaf and dress of the fairy. I didn't realize how close the Pacific Point and Teal were, and at first, I couldn't tell which one was which, lol. And the Pumpkin Pie was the perfect accent color!


And since it's fairies, I continued with my stickles...I love that stuff! The pictures are a little dark, but I was trying to get them posted before I went to bed.

I hope I haven't bored you with the fairies. I promise (hopefully) that I won't use them for a while, lol! Thanks for looking!

Color Throwdown #18/CCEE Stampers Challenges!

Quiet house, lots of cards...and boy-o-boy did I have fun!

I found yet another challenge, a sketch challenge, at CCEE Stampers and I combined it with another of my favorite challenges at Color Throwdown.


I have to admit I didn't see the part about using eyelets. I did read the part about changing the square on the card to another shape, so why didn't I see the addition of eyelets? Hmmmm...


The Color Throwdown colors are Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Pale Plum. I had to use a little Perfect Plum ink. I needed to do a little more work on the fairy and I couldn't keep adding more and more of the Pale Plum. I think it looks great!


I'm really loving this stamp from Inkadinkado Stamps. This is the sweetest fairy and the stamp is so versatile.


I hand wrote the sentiment. It's not my best handwriting, but when I give cards to friends and family, I usually do all the sentiments by hand. I should have practised a little before I wrote it.

Dream card details:
Stamps: Beautiful Fairies (Inkadinkado)
Paper: Old Olive DSP (SU!)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Pale Plum (SU!)
Ink: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum (SU!)
Accessories: Ribbon (PTI), Cuttlebug, Nestabilities Scallop Circles, blender pen, stickles

I hope you enjoyed my card, and I really hope you like that fairy! It's quickly becoming my favorite stamp! Thanks for looking!

Another Day, Another Sketch

I found a great sketch and a fabulous color combination yesterday, and this is the first chance I've had to work on either of them. The sketch is from i{heart}2stamp and the color combo is from Splitcoast Stampers.

I'm learning how to translate a sketch to where it doesn't totally intimidate me, and how to use the stamps I already own. I honestly can't afford to buy everything I want, and I absolutely don't have the room to store them all, lol!


I have taught myself to find the main stamp I want to use and go from there...is that right? So, I picked a new stamp set I just got from Inkadinkado and went from there.


I also used my blender pen, and I kept true to the color palette. I'm much more used to a paint brush, and as I've said before, I'm learning. It's a little harder than I expected but I hope that I'll get used to the pens. I liked how it came out!




What do ya'll think?? I admit I didn't like the wings of my fairy, but add a little stickles and I loved them! Stickles fixes everything!!!

Sweetest card details:
Stamps: Beautiful Fairies (Inkadinkado Stamps), Crazy For Cupcakes (SU!)
Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, SU! dsp (SU!)
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red (SU!), StazOn Jet Black

Thanks for looking! I hope ya'll enjoy my card!
