Happy Birthday Card

For today's card I started by using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #90 and the color duo from Dynamic Duos DD #56.
 
 
Here is my card for today.
 
 
The paper that was used for this card came from the Simon Says Stamp! May Card Kit. The embossed sentiment comes from the Simon Says Stamp! stamp set Happy Every Day. To finish off the card I added a sheer white bow.
 
 
This card will be entered in the following challenges.
 
 
I hope that you like the card and thank you for stopping by.
 
 


You Are My Sunshine Card

 
Today I wanted to make a card for CASology Challenge Week 48. Their theme for this week is yellow. This just worked out perfectly because there is a stamp that the I have been wanting to use.
 
Here is how my card turned out.
 
 
I used a white card base and then used Distressed Ink in Mustard Seed to make the rays. I then wanted to give it a little sparkle so I sprayed it with Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in Gold. It got a little splotchy but oh well it shimmers even though you can't really tell it in the picture. I then added the sentiment from Stampin' Up and one rhinestone to finish the card off.
 
 
 
I hope that you like the card. Thank you for stopping by!!

Golden Congratulations

Today I made this golden congratulations card. I thought that this would be a perfect wedding card.
Here is the card that I came up with.
 
 
 
I used a large round stamp with this pretty design.  I think that it turned out really pretty.
 
I am going to be entering this card in the following challenge.
 
  
 
I hope that you like the card. Please let me know what you think and leave a comment.

One Post Two Cards

After strolling my favorite blogs today I came across a post on Kristina Werner's blog. This is one of the blogs that I check everyday to see what wonderful things that she comes up with.
 
Kristina did a post last week called Copic Vellum Gradient. Where she used copics on vellum to get a gradient effect. I loved the idea and decided to try it myself.
 
Here are the two cards that I came up with.
 
 
The first one I did was with blue and yellow which combined in the middle to make a pretty green.  I stamped some flowers on the front. I then added the sentiment on some pretty yellow card stock.
 
I am putting this card in the CASE Study Challenge #144 and Fusion Card Challenge #10.
 
 
 
 
 Now here is the second card that I did today. I did the same color scheme that Kristina used on her card. I just love how the pink and blue come together and make a pretty purple. Then I embossed the wings from a Tim Holtz set in silver .  I embossed the background of the card in clear embossing powder just to give the card some more interest.
 
 
 
 
 I hope that you like both cards. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
 
Thank You!!!

Another Card for Today!

Wow it has been a while since I have posted to cards in one day. I guess my summer break will be productive on my blog!
 
Here is the card that I designed for the challenges over at The Play Date Cafe and CAS-ual Fridays. I love doing Clean and Simple cards and then I saw the color challenge so I combined them for this card.
 
Here is the card that I came up with.
 
 
The background paper is for the Bo Bunny  Bold & Bright Double Dot 6x6 pad. I used the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Loving Thoughts stamp set. Then I finished the card off with some grey polka dot washi tape and a silver heart.
 
Below are the challenges that I am entering this card into.
