Didn't get much crafting done this weekend but I did get one card and two wreaths done. The wreaths I'll show you on Tuesday but here's the card I made.
I fit this one in for the the Dynamic Duos color challenge of Basic Black and Daffodil Delight with a dessert of dry embossing. The Paper Players polka dot awesomeness and sketch from Mojo Monday.
Ingredients: {Paper} Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Brights DSP {Ink} Basic Black {Stamp} So Happy For You (retired SAB) {Extras} Daisy #2 die, Basic Black scalloped polka dot ribbon, Perfect Polka dots embossing folder, mat pack, paper piercer, distresser tool
I love last years new In Color Pool Party. It is very versatile and a very clean subtle color. I used Pool Party and So Saffron as they were the Dynamic Duo colors for challenge #2 this week. I also used the sketch at Clean & Simple.
Part of Dynamic Duo is that you use the 2 colors plus any neutral colors. To add more depth to this card, I embossed it using the Petals a Plenty embossing folder with Whisper White cardstock. Then, I took a sponge and gently went over the raised embossing with So Saffron ink. This is such an easy technique to give a lot of depth to a normal pieced of embossed paper. To give it some "oomph" I also spritzed Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on it. (I love this stuff)
Ingredients: {Paper} Pool Party, So Saffron, Whisper White {Ink} So Saffron, Versamark {Stamp} Happiest Birthday Wishes, Mixed Bunch {Extras} Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Blossom punch, sponges
First, Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies out there! I got woken up to my annual breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast with jelly. The kids love it and so do I. Then I got to see the gifts they made at school that they've been wanting to tell me about for a week =)
So onto the card. I've found a couple new challenge blogs and so that's the inspiration for todays card. There is a new Dynamic Duos color challenge blog in which you only use 2 colors and can add only neutral colors to it. Very "up my alley". I was late this week but I'm ready challenge #2 already! Freshly Made Sketches has been around awhile but this is the first time I've played along because the sketches I usually play with didn't hit me with inspiration this week. You know, gotta spice it up every once in a while!
Here's the card.....
If your a mom I hope you have a very enjoyable day! And even if your not....still have an enjoyable day!
