Thank You Sew Much!

I had a chance to craft this weekend and came up with the following card.

Supplies used (all CTMH):
Stamp sets: (C1442) Tailor-Made, (C1494) Card Word Puzzle - new
Stamp pads: (Z2105) Black, ( 1467) Baby Pink,
Papers: (X7148B) Pemberley -- yellow piece for dressmaker form, White Daisy Cardstock, yellow and pink patterned papers (retired)
Embellishments: (Z1384) Pink Ribbon Collection, (Z1702) Baker's Twine - Paradise Assortment - new, (Z1104) Sparkles, (Z1151) Foam Tape, Yellow and pink flowers (retired), Sorbet ribbon (retired)

I was inspired by Heart 2 Heart's challenge from last week to use a CTMH stamp set you haven't used yet (the THANK YOU is from a new set but the rest is from an older set). I raided my scraps drawers and used some much older paper...yay me!
I was also inspired by the CR84FN46 Color challenge to use Light Pink, Yellow and Neutral. I am typically drawn to high contrast so it was tough for me to use these beautiful soft colors (I had to throw in a couple of medium pink accents!).


Finally I was also inspired by Challenge #18 over at Freshly Made Sketches.


In other news, I received my very own Copic markers as part of my birthday present last week from my wonderful husband! I am now the proud owner of three markers in the red family (I specifically asked for a small grouping so I could try them out without going overboard). I experimented today with an open flower stamp from the new Card Word Puzzle set and am loving them (even though I don't really know what I'm doing!). If I'm brave enough, I'll post some of my experiments! If anyone has any Copic advice for beginners, please send it my way!Pin It

Wonderland Wishing You Well

My poor sister-in-law suffers from terrible migraines and actually had to be hospitalized this week so I wanted to send some get well wishes to her. When I saw the colors at CR84FN, they struck me as being very soothing and I thought they would work nicely for my card. I actually like them for any type of card and I think I will try to use this design with a different sentiment for a couple of birthday cards I need to make. I also used the sketch at Mojo Monday for my card's layout.

Here are the colors for CR84FN:

This is my first easel card and I used Beate's video to help me along. I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the flowers, the circles, and the ovals. I was in the mood to roll flowers today!
