I have two cards to share with you today!!! My first card was for this weeks FS151 - SmilynStef. Not only do I enjoy Stef hosting the Inspiration Challenges each Saturday, but I really enjoy her clever and artistic stampin' style!!!
Not to long ago she made this beautiful card and I had to case it!!!
Here are the changes I made - different layout, I added a different sentiment, at last I added some butterflies and ribbon.
The *Agapanthus Cluster* image is an older Stampendous stamp. I think I bought it at Hobby Lobby!!! The sentiment is from the A Little Birthday Cheer Set from Stampin' Up.
Hope you like it???
******************************************
Next is my card for this weeks CC251 - using Barely Banana, Dusty Durango and Basic Gray.
WOW - what a color combo...I'm in love!!! Who would have known that this combo works sooooo great together...make sure to try it!!!
I finally had a chance to ink up some of my new Stampin' Up Stamps I've bought a few months ago :)!!! I know what a shame...my poor neglected stamps - LOL!!! Now that I have less commitments I hope I get to use some more of my SU stamps :) !!!
I used the beautiful *For All You Do* Set. The layout is from this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch - SSSC50.
I started out by scoring my card base. Next I added the punched out border and the Urban Oasis DP. I finished it up with the Dusty Durango Ribbon.
The flowers were inked in the CC colors and I cut them out leaving a small white card base. After cutting them out I raised them with Stampin' Dimensionals. At last I inked the sentiment and added another small flower.
Thank you so much for stopping by!!! Make sure to come back tomorrow for a new sweet Valentines card :) !!!
Have a great day!!!

Oh, both are gorgeous, my friend. I've missed looking at your cards as I haven't had much time on the internet due to the busy holidays. I hope you had a great Christmas!
Funny, I just pulled that cluster image out of my stash to make a Birthday card for a friend...to see it here was a surprise. Beautiful on both cards as always!!
Silke, both are gorgeous! I love that Stampendous stamp and lucky for me, I have it ;) I feel a CASE coming on....lol
Love that SU card! The way you stamped and cut the sentiment is awesome!
I just love the image on the first card! It's done perfectly and with the greatest sentiment! The color combo on the 2nd card is fantastic! I just love those little flowers and how you put that card together! Nice job Silke (as always!) :D
Hi sweetie!! Your creations are just gorgeous and so elegant hun!! I love the soft sponging look on the top one!! Gorgeous colors!! :)
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and are ready for a great New Year!! BIG HUGS
Beautiful job on both. I love those colors too. Hugs Cindy
Silke, your cards are so beautiful! The Color Challenge card is STUNNING! I thought these colors were yukky together, but you have convinced me otherwise!!! Have a happy New Year!!!
Gorgeous cards, girl! I'm especially lovin' that blue and white one. Very striking! :)
Silke, I just came to your blog for the first time after seeing your beautiful creations on the ODB site. I really love the cards you're featuring here today. The colors are terrific and your designs are eye catching and refreshing! TFS
Two wonderful cards, Silke :D Great FS card. Love that image and the butterflies are a great touch. I had all but talked myself out of that SU set and now you've gone and tempted me to get it LOL! Just love the colours you used and the scoring on the white panel is great. Love the flower by the sentiment too. I'm all excited because I got that MS punch for Christmas and can't wait to use it!
Silke,
Both GORGEOUS cards!!! I saved the first one for the idea of sponging color behind a black silhouette - and then I saw the 2nd card and there is something SO appealing about it - I'll have to study that one! So, it's in my "Silke" folder, too! Nice job!
Love those tiny butterflies ... thanks so much for joining me on my special day.
These are both gorgeous Silke!! I just love the color combo of the first with the black and white and the layout of the second with the bright colors and all the cutting and dimension is stunning!! You rock girl!!
hugs,
Chris
