TGIFC48 - Remix with Sprinkles on Top!

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you are excited about this month's remix challenge with TGIF Challenges.  I always thought the idea was so fun and clever - so much to challenge you with :)  Want to play along??

Pick 2 or all 3 of the challenges below.  Make sure to mention us in your post and you're all set!

Can you believe March has almost come and gone??  I cannot believe how fast this month has gone by.  And actually, I can't believe how fast this week went!  I realized yesterday afternoon that my card for this month's remix was due last night and I was running out of daylight! I literally took over 90 pictures of this card.  

I know. I'm crazy.

I took pictures outdoors, indoors, under my Ott light... 

I really wanted you to be able to see all the details.  

I used the no-line watercoloring technique on the cones and ice cream and added some Pink Pirouette splatter on the card too.  But my favorite part of the card are the mini ice cream cones and the Dazzling Diamonds circles around the bigger cone.  Both of these stamps come from the Project Life set in the Occasions catalog called Memories in the Making.  

I hope this subtle sweet tooth card inspires you to mix it up with us!  Make sure you head on over to TGIF Challenges and see what the other team has come up with too!

Happy Easter! HE IS RISEN!

TGIF43 - The Newest Member of...

 

This past week I received a message from Mercedes asking if I would be interested in joining the Design Team for TGIF Challenges!  I have been a fan of the challenge site since day one and I am certainly honored (and pretty dang excited) to be on board!  (Thanks ladies for having faith in me!)

I hope that you enjoy my style and play along each week! 

 

 

So this first challenge I tried to keep true to "me".  I like subtle colors & lots of white space.

I am really going to miss Lost Lagoon!

 

 

 

I hope you can get an idea on how much shimmer is on this card :)  I used Wink of Stella on the base of the rose and the lines of the yellow flower and I splatter some glue on the card base to give it a little more shine with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

 

I also thought it'd be fitting that I incorporated a metal rimmed pearl.  I won a pack of these when I won the first TGIF Throwdown (many moons ago). =)

 

 

There are 3 roses and flowers stacked on top of each other.  I glued them together and on top of a piece of matching cardstock.  I then fussy cut it (very carefully) to get the solid look underneath.   I saw Teneale Williams do something similar with this card and couldn't wait to try it myself.  Love the dimension it gives!

 

 

I carried the stenciled look on over to the inside of the card and finished it with another sentiment from Rose Wonder. 

 

 

Don't forget the envelope! 

 

So there you have it!  I hope that you join us all over at TGIF Challenges.  I'm excited to bring you some inspiration! 

 

Looking forward to seeing your submission!  Have a great weekend!
