Kinda Eclectic...Take 3

Hello Stampers!  Happy Wednesday!  Welcome back and thank you for visiting today! I have a new creation to share with you!

I loved the color combo from Create with Connie and Mary as well as the sketch from The Sweetest Thing that I combined both for my card today. Lots of inspiration from both blogs! Hope you like it!

I once again used the new stamp set, Kinda Eclectic. I am seriously loving this stamp set!  As I peruse different blog challenges to play along with, this is the first stamp set that comes to mind that I want to create with! The funny thing is that I have several NEW stamp sets that I have yet to ink up! Good thing I have all year to use them, lol. What's the rush, right!

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time! 

Retro...Kinda Eclectic

Hello Stampers! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Happy Monday to you all.

I haven't played along with the designers at Retro Sketches in awhile and this week they have an awesome sketch that really inspired me. Check them out if you have a chance!

I inked up a new stamp for my creation today, Kinda Eclectic. This stamp set is going to be one of my new favorites from the new catalog. Already thinking of ways I can use it. And I'm loving the new InColors! Especially Blackberry Bliss! What about you, have you used any of the new InColors? If so, which one is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow for another fun Nacho Average Challenge and a new creation featuring this stamp set! Until next time.

Papillon Potpourri

Hello fellow stampers! Well, I'm on day two of my creative challenge and so far so good.  But the week isn't over yet.  Do you ever sit down to create a card and don't know where to start?  You can have an idea of what you want to create but not sure what to do? Well, one thing that I do is look at past blog sketches or color combos.  Doesn't matter that the deadline has passed to include your project, a good sketch is always a good sketch!

Well, that's what I did for my card today, I went back and looked at the archives on the Sunday Stamps blog and I came across this cool sketch. It made creating so much easier!  You can see the original post here. So next time you're in a creative rut, try looking at past sketches.

We used the framed tulips embossing folder this past weekend at Spring Fling and I was missing it so I used it for this card. Using our white gel pens makes perfect dots between each tulip. Gotta love products that coordinate, the large butterflies from papillon potpourri go with the elegant butterfly punch.  The smaller ones coordinate with the bitty butterfly punch from the Spring Catalog! Except I used the beautiful wings embosslits.  The 1/4 stitched grosgrain ribbon is the right size to layer on top of the needlepoint embossing folder. The sentiment is from the Spring Catalog, the Pop-Up Posies Designer kit. And there you have it, another card completed using the current color challenge from Sunday Stamps! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Until next time.
