Clean & Simple Flowers

Ahhh Wednesday already! This week is so far so good, but I won't count my chickens yet because the week isn't over....always a skeptic huh?!

I used the following as inspirations for my clean card: Clean & Simple 152 & Color Cue #15

I made the melon mambo flower the main image and lightly stamped the image in baja breeze and so saffron flowers on the side, that way the main image didn't look so lonely. I cut a decorative label punch in half and put one at the top and one on the bottom (that punch is so versatile!). The dots are done with a Stampin' Write Marker (another I don't regret it purchase). I shoulda only done every 1/8" instead of 1/16" but eh it looks ok.

Happy Wednesday!

I have a ton of admiration for anyone on a design team. Don't get me wrong it's fun but very stressful trying to make a card knowing a whole bunch of people will be looking at it. I must have made 10 cards before I settled on the one I did. =)

Jumbled Birthday

Happy Sunday! Are Sunday's really happy? Hmmm...once you get to Sunday there's nothing but Monday to look forward to. I think Sunday's are only good when followed by a Monday holiday =)

Anywho, here's my card for the Color Lab challenge and A La Card Monkey challenge.....




I just kept adding until it looked ok. It started with plain pennants, no layers on the sentiment and no embossing. Then I remembered my very first SU! demonstrator Mary say, "Add layers, layers make a card." That was the best advice I could hear, I try to add layers on every card.....thanks Mary!

Here's my inspiration:

Ingredients:
{Paper} SU! Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight.
{Ink} SU! Calypso Coral, Baja Breeze & Daffodil Delight SU! Write Markers
{Stamp} SU! Happiest Birthday Wishes
{Extras} SU! Pennant Builder punch, pop dots, Cuttlebug embossing folder
