VSAPRBP01, TLC269 Thank You; CQC29, C4C33 Birthday Hugs & Kisses

Howdy friends!!!

I have two cards to share with you this evening. My first one is for this weeks Verve Beach Party Color Challenge  - using Orange, Aqua and Green.  I combined it with this weeks TLC269 - Piercing.



I figured I dig some of my Verve Sets out and ink them up for a change...they haven't seen much love in a long, long time!!!
This flower image is from the Floral Whimsy Set. As you can tell I added a lot of piercing!!! I usually use my Mat Pack from Stampin' Up for most of my piercing...the templates are very easy to handle.

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

My next card is another birthday card. I used the layout from the C4C33 Sketch again. The colors were inspired by this weeks CQC29 - using Bravo Burgundy,  Tangerine Tango, Yoyo Yellow and Green Galore. I also combined it with the SSCC35 - adding flowers and it also fits the TSC Challenge -  creating a *birthday card*.



The floral Set is from Rubberneck called Wild Flower.  The seniments are from SU. The floral images were inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. I added some Medium Silver Pearls. For a change I also added the same floral images inside!!!

Have a wonderful evening and thank you for stopping by!!! Hugs ~S~

You're the queen of simple elegance! Love all of your cards, Silke, and am in awe of all your perfectly straight piercing - lol! I can never seem to keep the template straight.

Marisa said...

Never tire of seeing some Verve and the first card is a great way to use that vase set. Love all the flowers in the second set (you know me and flowers LOL). Wonderful use of that layout and the bling in the centers is a great touch.

I had to google Zumba to see what all the rage was about. I've heard of it but never quite knew what it entailed. How fun!! Gotta love the Latin dance moves involved :D Way to show those youngsters in the class LOL! Swing some hips for me next time.
