I made this card for the Less is More challenge: one layer and blooms/petals. Ans the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: anything goes, showcasing Concord &9th. For my card I used two Concord & 9th sets (you are enough and butterfly beauty for the sentiment). I stamped the outline and sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink,directly on the cardbase for the ONE Layer challenge and then used the petals for color, I used pink and magenta inks. Added three pink enamel dots to finish the card. I positioned the flower in the bottom corner to leave as much white space as possible, there's is actually more stem to
that flower, but it has no fill in stamp so it stays white, unless you go in with pencils or markers and my cardstock doesn't like them, the markers will bleed through and it's too slick for pencils.

This fortnight our challenge is a Sketch plus the optional twist of a shaker. Our sponsor for this game is Winnie and Walter. I only have one set of W&W and so for my frist card I used the Marianne Design Collectables Col1386. It's actually a "build your own giraffe" but I used the negative. I think you can tell what it is... Not all of them work, but the dino set does also. I diecut the body and head from a panel and then stamped the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink. It's from a Marianne design set EC0171 I then traced the opening onto the cardbase and onto a sheet of white craft foam, the same size as my panel.
Using the traced line I knew where to apply Distress Oxides Cracked pistachio. Added double sided tape to the craft foam sheet and acetate and adhered it to the panel. I've filled my shaker with green toned sequins and fun colored stars. I did start out picking out only the green ones, then I though Oh that blue is pretty too, so is the purple..and in they all went ;-). Closed my shaker by adhereing the cardbase on top. The second card is done pretty much the same way, I just changed the shape of the shaker window into a heart to match with the Winnie & Walter sentiment from Big Hugs. See the video on how I made it in about 15 minutes!.

I made this card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Going round in circles; and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: anything goes. And the Male Room Challenge: anything goes. At first I wanted the Art Impressions Lawn Ranger (Born to ride set) to go around in circles, but that would have taken a really big card, so I kept putting it off. Now I decided to inkblend a circle on the cardbase with Distress Oxides ( Cracked Pistachio and Peacock feathers). I stamped the sentiments from the same Art Impressions set with Versafine Onyx black ink. Then I stamped the Image with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink, cut it out and colored it with my alcohol markers,mounted
it with foamtape and placed it in the circle. I didn't have anything Concord & 9th(that I thought fitting), so I chose Art Impressions as it's the SSS flavor of the month.

The Male room challenge is Anything goes with the option of one layer. So I printed this cute little Beagle baby from Tiddly inks on Ecoline watercolor paper. Added the sentiment whilst I was in Photoshop. I colored the image with Faber- Castell Polychromos pencils, then added some Nuvo Shimmer pen for a wet nose.

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: Beautiful blooms. The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: a Srping Moodboard, and Showcasing Simon Says Stamp exclusives. For my card I used the SSS Tri Square die to cut out three windows. I wanted it to be a landscape card at first, but I changes it because of the sentiment from Friendships blooms, also SSS. It looks better to me, if it's anchored in a corner, because of the alignment...don't mind me..hehe I traced the windows on the cardbase, so I knew where to apply Distress Oxides (Squeezed lemonade, Cracked Pistachio and Spun sugar), taken from the mood board. If I have more openings Shaded Lilac
would probably have made it into the mix too. I mounted the cardpanel with foamtape and to fill my windows I diecut Paper Smooches Dainty Flowers and Memory Box Sketch Bunny. The Sketch Bunny also had a thin outline, but I went with the solid as I liked the contrast with the dainty flowers. Tucked them in and under the panel, making sure bits would stick out on the front.
