For the Bride

June is typically a wedding month and the new inspiration challenge hostess picked a Brides magazine cover as her inspiration. I combined the challenge with one of Nina's images from Squigglefly and SC10 (SCS). I used the colors of the words as well as the theme to create this card.

and Here's my Take



Recipe:
Stamps- Squigglefly- Sew Fabulous
Paper- Rich Razzleberry, Kiwi Kiss, pink (shimmery), white
Ink- Rich Razzleberry marker, copic marker
Accessories- Cuttlebug embossing folder, ribbon, pearl

Welcome to the Neighborhoooo-d

This is just a "random" card (no challenges) that I made using Nina's Hooty Hoo image from Squigglefly. I have had it colored for a while but finally got around to using it. Kept it CAS again in order to showcase the image and sentiment.

Recipe:
Stamps- Hooty Hoo- Nina/Squigglefly and Tag Lines (Gina K)
Ink- black, copic markers, garden green
Paper- Garden Green, white, Garden Green dsp
Accessories- dimensionals, word window punch, Su punch, nesties

Happy Mother's Day!

This is for the LimeLIGHT sketch and product challenge to add sparkle! I know that you can't see the glitz but I promise it's there! I used my clear stardust sparkle pen on the flower. I used Nina's Fancy Flowers and Fancy Sentiments from Squigglefly. This is also for the Color Throwdown challenge to use Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum, Old Olive, and Barely Banana. My R.R. and P.P. are in the flower and dsp, O.O. is the stem and paper, and the banana is the ribbon.

Stamps- Fancy Flowers and Fancy Sentiments from Nina's line at Squigglefly
Ink- copics, rich razzleberry
Paper- Rich Razzleberry, white, Cottage Wall dsp

Thank You Friend

This card uses Nina's Button Flowers digi image over at Squigglefly. They are separate flowers but I put them next to each and made a little trio of vlowers. I added real buttons but underneath the center of the flowers are "buttons". I was able to partake in a couple of challenges with this card- Curtain Call Color Challenge and Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. Also fits Our Creative Corner's Challenge to use BLOSSOMS. Love all of these challenges. The color challenge was to use Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, white, and Certainly Celery. My CC is found in the stemp and leaves (it's the closest I could get it). Thanks for looking!

Stamps- Squigglefly Button Flowers (Nina Brackett); Gina K Designs- Tag Lines
Ink- Copic Markers, black
Paper- Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, white, Melon Mambo dsp
Accessories- buttons, ribbon

I'll be back tomorrow for another post

A Colorful Birthday

This card was created to showcase the Flowers from Happy Flower Box. This image is from Nina's line at Squigglefly. I cut them out individually to rearrange them to fit around the sentiment. I also used the Color Throwdown of pink, olive, and gray and the sketch challenge at Eat Sleep Stamp.

Recipe:
Stamps- Squigglefly- Happy Flower Box; Gina K Designs- Heartily Yours Additions
Ink- copic markers, regal rose
Paper- Old Olive, Regal Rose, white, Basic Gray, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses
Accessories- dimensionals, velvet ric rac

Vintage Lamp

I used Taylor's sketch for this weekend to showcase this GORGEOUS lamp from Nina. This image (along with a coordinating sentiment) can be found over at Squigglefly. I saw this lamp and knew I "HAD" to have it because I was imagining the paper piecing that could be done. Love it with the Nook and Pantry 6x6 pad from BG! And, aren't those crocheted flowers the perfect touch. They came from a sweet lady over on WRAK.

Recipe:
Stamps- Squigglefly
Paper- Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, BG Nook & Pantry, white
Accessories- cuttlebug embossing folder, crocheted flowers, dimensionals, pearls

Is it time for spring?

Seriously- I love winter but I am READY for spring! With that in mind I created this card using Nina's images from Squigglefly and the sentiment is from Heartily Yours Additions (also by Nina for Gina K Designs). I decided to go with some soft spring colors with Innocent Pink and Ocean Mist (both from Gina K). Love the look of this- reminds me that spring is "hopefully" around the corner.

Recipe:
Stamps- Squigglefly- Floral Frenzy, Heartily Yours Additions (Gina K)
Paper- Ocean Mist, Innocent Pink, white
Ink- black, copic markers, crushed curry marker
Accessories- ribbon, punch, pearls, cuttlebug embossing folder

Congratulations on your wedding

This is my first card that I created for Nina's Designing Friends using one of her Squigglefly images. I have a good friend getting married in May so I am trying to find the perfect card. I questioned using black but I figured that black and white together are very elegant and decided to throw a bit of pink pirouette in there to give it a bit more color. I think my favorite part of this card is the strand of pink and white pearls across the middle tier. I used the sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges as my my base. The sentiment is one of Nina's Squigglefly images also. I decided to use some of satin black ribbon which was purchased from LimeLIGHT (and I'll say it again- Mandy is the BEST!).

Recipe:
Stamps- Nina- Squigglefly
Ink- copic markers
Paper- Basic Black, white, pink pirouette
Accessories- nestabilities, satin ribbon, cuttlebug embossing folder
