SC228 Thinking of You, 2RedBananas Sneak Peek and CC218 For you.....

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

Here is my card for the SC228.

I used a Set I haven't inked up in a long time - it 's the retired SU Spring Solitude Hostess Level II Set.

I use these colors - Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Blue Bayou.

I still have so much *older* CS, Ink and Ribbon leftover that I need to incorporate them into my cards.

The sentiment is from the new SU Bird on a Branch Set (Page 95). I was looking for a thin Set and this was just perfect!!!

To add more interest to my card I added the Silver Brads and the piercing around the main image.

Hope you like it???

**************************************

The 2RedBananas are still in the middle of showing off some of the Sneak Peeks for May.

This Set is called Party Bee's.

I was once again inspired by the WT217 -to use Kraft CS on my card.

I inked the bee image twice with Basic Black. The second image was trimmed and colored it with Pretty in Pink and Basic Gray Ink using a Blender Pen. I raised the image up with Stampin Dimensionals.

Next I bedazzled the wings with some Dazzling Diamond Glitter.

The BG was inked in Pretty in Pink using a flower in the same Set. I also added the same little flower on the upper left corner!!!

The sentiment is actually from the May Journaling Spot Sneak Peek Set that you can see right HERE!!!

What do you think??? Isn't it a cute little card :) ?!? If you have time stop by Cassie, Deb , Jeanette , Denise, Teresa , Wendy and Jami for some more Sneek Peeks!!!

****************************************

Here is my submission for yesterday's CC218 - using Summer Sun, Only Orange and Kiwi Kiss.

I thought this is a fun combo and to me it screamed for a birthday card. Plus I was still in the groove from the Flourishes Challenge which you can find on the post below :)!!!

The layout is from the *Little Paper Shop's* Sketch Challenge - LPSC15.

For the image I used the SU Crazy for Cupcakes Set. I colored the cupcakes with SU Markers - Summer Sun and Only Orange. On the tray I used a Blender Pen using Only Orange Ink.

Then I applied the Liquid Applique for the frosting. I love that stuff - sooooo yummy looking. I know you can't see it very good, but I also applied some Angel Wing Shimmerz.

The sentiment is from the SU All Holidays Set and it was inked it in Basic Black.

To finish off the Sketch I tied the Striped Kiwi Kiss Ribbon with a White Button on top and attached the sentiment from the SU All Holidays Set.

Thank you all for stopping by - have a great day!!!
