Sweet Sunday Sketch #206 & Verve Challenge

I've used the Sweet Sunday Sketch for this week to make a card for the February Inspiration challenge on the Verve blog... which is to use flowers on your card.  I've had this Cosmo Cricket paper for several years, and still love bringing it out to make a card :o)

 

Patterned papers are Girl Friday, Cosmo Cricket; Stamp set is Text Objects, Verve; From the Heart die set, Verve; Twilight Cardstock, Olive ink & clear button, all Close To My Heart.

Mojo Monday #223

What an interesting Mojo sketch this week!  I pulled out my Miracle papers, and one of the matching chipboard shapes that came with the kit, then sponged it in 3 of the colours that show up in the patterned papers.  Love these soft colours:

Here was our sketch:

Patterned papers are Miracle, cream ribbon, hemp & chipboard flower a.ll from the Miracle Workshop on the Go kit; Ink is Desert Sand; Cardstock is Bamboo, Crystal Blue & Colonial White - all CTMH; Stamp set is Text Objects, Verve.  Spellbinder's die.

Mojo Monday #191

This week's Mojo Monday sketch worked perfectly with my Echo Park papers and Verve's little sailboat from the Text Objects stamp set.  The inside sentiment says: "There are big ships and small ships, but the best ship of all is Friendship".  Perfect for a friend's birthday card.  Here's the sketch:

The colours look a bit washed out in the photo, but they're wonderfully bright in real life!  Stamp set is Text Objects, Verve; Patterned Papers are Little Boy, Echo Park; Ink is Outdoor denim; Cardstock is White Daisy & Outdoor Denim; Cranberry My Accents - all CTMH;  Ribbon is from my stash!

Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge #28 & CASE Study Challenge #30

I don't often combine more than one challenge, but this week's cute Waltzing Mouse Sketch seemed to work with what I had in mind for the CASE study challenge.  I really liked the combo of colours/design that I did for this week's Mojo sketch (my last post) - so I've gone with a similar theme... here's our sketch:

And this month at CASE, we're casing cards by the talented Julee Tilman, and this was our inpiration:

Here's what I've come up with:

Stamp set is Text Objects by Verve; Patterned papers are Wings; Cardstock is Juniper, Black, Vineyard Berry & Colonial White - all CTMH.

A Combined Grind Challenge!

This week, the Play Date Cafe has teamed up with the CASE Study Challenge blog for a "Combined Grind" challenge... we're using the PDCC#69 colours of red/green/black... with the inspiration of the CASE muse Eva Dobilas for our design:

So I pulled out the gorgeous Mistletoe papers from Making Memories, and used one of my new Verve stamps to make this:

Patterned papers are Making Memories, Mistletoe; Black cardstock & ink is CTMH; Twine is Martha Stewart; Stamp set is Text Objects from Verve; Nestabilities die. Here's a closeup of my flower:
