CCMC344-Work of Art

Today's post is a card to participate in a color challenge.  What fun it was to work with Work of Art and Gorgeous Grunge together.  Here are the colors.

 

Below is my take on this color challenge!  Love these stamp sets.

Also added a butterfly from papillon poutpourri stamped in rose red and sponged with blushing bride.  I added three pearls to it's body.  The baker's twine is some twine that was included in the January Paper Pumpkin kit.  It is blushing bride with gold in it.

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Lotus Blossom--Asian style

Here is a couple samples with the SAB  pick, Lotus Blossom.  This is such a pretty 3 step stamping set that you can get with a qualifying purchase for FREE!

 

 

It has a great Asian look to it using the colors of strawberry slush, rose red and black for the flower blossom.  I also added a little white satin ribbon and some of the SAB pick of paper called Irresistibly

Yours!  If you wanted that paper to pop more you could sponge it with some crumb cake ink.  Look below.

 

A little black taffeta ribbon at the base of the blossom helps to pull your eye to the focal point!

I'm off to check on calving heifers!

Thanks for stopping by...have a great day~!   

 

Butterfly Basics

Today's post is a card made with Butterfly Basics.  I cased the idea from Artfelt Impressions and added a few touches to it.  I am a layer girl so it got a layer of smoky slate behind the focal point piece.  Then instead of plain pearls, I took my smoky slate blendies and colored them in with the medium marker.

Colors are pear pizzazz, smoky slate, and lost lagoon.  Oh and white of course.  :-)  Have a great day and stop in again soon!



Painted Petals Birthday~!

 

Today's post uses the stamp set Painted Petals!  Perfect plum and old olive, such a pretty combo.  The bottom portion was embossed with the spring flowers TIEF and did direct to paper technique with the perfect plum ink pad. 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by--enjoy your weekend!

Today I used the Painted Blooms designer series paper that coordinates with the Painted Petals stamp set on my card to participate in the challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary.  It is a sketch challenge this time and here it is:

 

Here is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy it.  I used three if the something borrowed embellishments from the occasions catty.  They are so pretty and I am not going to continue to be a paper hoarder so...using up some of that pretty paper too!

Sunny Day with swaps!

Yesterday,  we started moving our cows home for calving season which is still a ways off but with the weather being so nice, we decided to get it done. 

 

It's a big ole hill to climb!  The cows are scattered for a long line.

A peek to the north from the top of the hill coming home.

Cows getting a drink at the Big Well.

A look to the east--love Montana--you can see forever and then some!  Now some swap cards from leadership 2015!
