COLOR THROWDOWN #627 - THANK YOU

Hello and happy TGIF!

Couldn't resist playing this weeks Color Throwdown #627 .....

Here is this weeks color combo - Pale Pink, Blue and Gray....

These colors were definitely talking to me...I chose PTI - Pale Peony & Weathervane, plus the SU - Midnight Muse. 

The Stamp Sets for the florals are PTI - Floral Sketches and Simon Says - Even More Spring Flowers. The big "Thank You" is from The Stamp Market - Thank you Layering Die and it was layered with the PTI - Weathervane CS. The smaller sentiment below is from the PTI - Sentiment Staples: Thank You Mini Set that was also inked in SU - Midnight Muse.  At last I added the Clear Sequins.

Thank you for stopping by :) !!! Wishing you a fabulous weekend! ~SL~

INSPIRED BY #IB159 - TWEET MESSAGES

 Hello and happy Thursday!

We have another beautiful Inspired By Challenge for you to play along ....

Here is this weeks inspiration photo - Tweet Messages #IB159 .....

My inspiration came from the bird, the blossoms, the colors and the background. 

As soon as I saw this image I knew I wanted to use the PTI - Spring Woods Set along with the matching dies. Instead of using ink I used my SU Markers to achieve a more water colored look on the bird and blossom image. The sentiment is from the same set. The background splash is from the retired SU - Gorgeous Grunge Set. I inked in SU Crumb Cake and at last I added the small Silver Pearls.

Hope you'll have a chance to play along with us? 

Thank you so much for stopping by....wishing you a wonderful day! ~SL~

INSPIRED BY #IB158 - THINKING OF YOU

Happy Monday!

Stopping by with a new card for this weeks Inspired by Challenge #IB158 ....

I love the sketch that is part of this weeks challenge....

My inspiration came from the hearts, the CAS design and the bold sentiment. 

I couldn't help myself inking up a retired SU Set called I (Heart) Hearts. I have this set for years and barely used it..so I was totally happy to show it off today :) !!! My colors are from PTI - Hibiscus Burst, Pure Poppy and Classic Kraft. The sentiment is from the PTI - Penned Elegance. At last I added some Silver Pearls.

Swing by the Inspired By Challenge Blog to see how people are inspired by this weeks fun challenge! Looking forward to seeing your ideas! 

Wishing you a fabulous week and I'll see you on Thursday for a new challenge :) !!! ~SL~
