Challenge #11 inspiration with Shannon

Hello!

Shannon with you here today to share some inspiration for the current challenge.

For my card today I used the third row across, Inlaid design, Monochromatic, Scalloped border. I LOVE purple so I chose purple as my main color.

I started my ink blending some Lavender ink on white card stock. I then stamped my flowers and branches with various colors of purple using the Wild Peonies stamp set from The Ton. I lightly flickered some Dusty Concord Distress ink on my background and then moved on to my inlaid sentiment. 

I die cut my sentiment onto my main panel using the Hello Beautiful die from MFT, I die cut it again with lavender cardstock then adhering it into the negative space I created with my first cut.

I stamped my hello part of the sentiment from the Scripty Sayings stamp set from Lawn fawn. I adhered my panel on to a scallop card base which I created using the Sweet Scallops dies from Avery Elle.

To give my card the finishing touch I added Sparkling Clear sequins and Clear Droplets from PPP.

That's it for my card today!!

Hope I inspired you to play along with us!!

Can't wait to see all your pretty creations!!

Challenge #9 inspiration with Shannon

Hello friends!

Shannon here with you today to share some inspiration for the current challenge board.

For my card today I chose the third row down, being things that fly, white space and scene.

I kept my card fairly clean and simple, so there's not to much to say about it.

As much as I love shaker cards and layers, I just love clean and simple cards sometimes.

I used the Woodland Wonders stamp set from Avery Elle for all of the images on my card. I stamped on a white card base and colored in using Copic markers. That's about it!

Oh and I added some bakers twine on the top to give it a finishing look.

That's it for my card today! 

I hope I inspired you and can't wait for you to play along with us!

Thanks so much for dropping by!!

Challenge #7 inspiration with Shannon

Hello crafty friends!

Shannon here today to share some inspiration with the challenge Tic-Tac-Toe board.

 For my card today I used the third row down, tag, kraft and potted plants.

I kept my card fairly simple using a white card base. I cut my tag out of kraft paper using my Cricut. I sponged a little bit of blue ink in the background so it didn't look too plain.  I stamped my sentiment from the Better Together stamp set from Neat and Tangled in Versa-mark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Now I didn't have a potted plant stamp, it's on my wish list but in the mean time I created my own. I used the flowers from the Delightful Days stamp set from Clearly Besotted and the flower pot is from the Our Friendship Grows stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I stamped my pot first and masked it off before i stamped my bouquet of flowers. I colored in with Copic markers, fussy cut out and adhered onto my tag.  I added some bakers twine on top of my card and some clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh to finish of my card.

That's it for my card today! Hope you got inspired to play along and enjoyed my CAS card:)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
