Inkredible Color Challenge

So this must be the week of playing with neutral colors.    This week's Inkredible color challenge is:  Baja Breeze,  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, River Rock.

I was inspired by florals from a few weeks ago and decided to add them to this weeks project.  As the card started to take shape, it ended up being a great mother's day card.   It's never too early to start making cards for the amazing moms in your life.

Here are the steps to make the florals again:   The flower was just so easy to make I used the Triple Blossom punch and punched out 5 flowers.   Then I used my paper piercer and put a hole through the center of all of them.  Next, I used my bone folder to break up the fibers in the flowers so they would be easy to work with.   Next, I put a silver brad through the center.  I then scrunched up the flowers towards the middle.  Once all five layers were scrunched than I played with them and made them more life like.

Stamp Sets: You're Amazing , Family Reunion and stamp set from a local craft store

Stamping Royalty Sketch Challenge

This week's Stamping Royalty brings us a sketch challenge.  As soon as I saw this sketch I knew that I wanted to use the doilies from the retired Flirtatious designer series paper and the new heart framelit and stamp set from the Hearts a Flutter.  I love this punch art owl.   I found it on Pinterest a while ago and I have to say he is super easy to make and he just makes me smile.    The greeting was printed on card stock and then cut out and attached to the card.   Did you know you can match your font color to exact SU colors.   Check out this great chart.    All you need to do is go into custom tab when you go into change your font colors.  How great is that!
