Sweet Roses

Monday, January 26, 2009

I wanted to use my new Curly Label punch so I went searching in the gallery at Splitcoast stampers - my number one resource for inspiration! I saw a stunning card by AmberDawn - one of the Unity/Verve girls - I just love everything she does! So I CASED her card to create this one. The roses are a CTMH set called Cherish - not sure what I think of it yet ~perhaps with the stem added. As you can see I am just loving my sewing machine!!!! The background is a cuttlebug folder. Added some ribbon and dewdrops and there you go!

Tools:
CS: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Pure Pom
Stamps: Cherish by CTMH
Ink: Pure Pom, Pretty in Pink
Other: Curly Lable punch, Textile Texture CB embossing folder, Sewing machine, dew drops, Choc Chip ribbon

Limelight Challenge Sweet Unity Tree

Saturday, January 10, 2009

I decided to take on the Limelight Challenge this week. There was a fab sketch and a focus on texture. My new favorite way to add texture is sewing! I got happy with my sewing machine on this card. The image is from Unity Stamp Co which can also be bought at Limelight - one of the reasons I love them! They also have in the incredibly yummy Basic Grey Bittersweet which I can't wait to get my hands on! Mandy is a total sweetie to work with! I asked question with my most recent order and she emailed me super fast and let me know she will even do special orders if you need her to! How awesome is that! And she's holding a DT call right now! I am really thinking about entering! I mean she has the latest and greatest stuff AND Unity what could be better?!?!? Check out the details of the call HERE. I love this Unity tree when I first saw it, it screamed GIVE ME BUTTONS! LOL! I love buttons! I added some CTMH and Bazzill floss to these for even more texture! I added a little sentiment taping over part of the image and word so that it just reads SWEET. Super cute! TFL! And check out Limelight and the challenge HERE!
Tools:
CS: Dark Chocolate by PTI

Girly Blingy Butterflies

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

How cool is this sentiment by Unity?!?!?! I just love it! I am not an overly girly person but I wanted to girly up this card! It is my first card with sitching - simple but adds a little extra sumthin sumthin! I added the punched out butterflies and blinged them up as well! In the corner I layered an acrylic butterfly which I stamped on first with a punched out blinged butterfly! Decided the top needed something so I added just a touch of ribbon! I really like my girly blingy butterfly card! What do you think?

Tools:
Stamps: Butterfly sentiment by Unity Stamp Co, Priceless SU
Ink: Dark Chocolate from PTI
CS: Pretty in Pink, Dark Chocolate
Accessories: Pretty in Pink Ribbon, Acrylic Butterflies by Heidi Swapp, MS Butterfly Punch, Pink Rhinestones from HL, Brown Thread
