Catered Crop Recipe Swap....

Happy Sunday!

I have a quick card for you for the Catered Crop Recipe Swap. The recipe is to create a  *ACCENTUATE THE NEGATIVE* card/project.....show us a project using negative spaces created from your die cuts, punches, electronic cutters (like a Silhouette or Cricut), etc..

Here is my take on it.....



My *negative* space was crated with the Flourishes Tailor-Made Classic Keyhole Die and the coordinated Petals & Peace Set. BTW, Flourishes has another matching Set....called Snow Wonderful. As always my card base was created with the Flourishes Classic White CS and I decided to score the second panel. The image itself was inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with these Copic Markers ~ E40, E42, $47, G85, G94, R14, R17, R24 and Colorless Blender. The rest of the card was embellished with some Kraft Jute Twine, some cute little bells :) and the Red Kaiser Rhinestones....voila!




Here are some more inspiration ideas for you.....


Please make sure to stop by the Catered Crop Blog to see the teams take on this challenge and of course the entries from the past week and the upcoming week!!!

Have a fabulous Sunday! I'll be back on Tuesday with TWO NEW CARDS!!! See you then....

C4C161 Anything but...

Hello and happy weekend!

Are you ready for a new Crazy 4 Challenges ~ C4C161 ??? The theme this week is is to create *ANYTHING BUT A CARD*.....be creative and have fun making something instead of a card!!!



I really like this sweet Flourishes Fresh Baked Set. The gift bag I created with this Set is a great idea for teachers!!! I know my girls teachers would love these filled with some yummy homemade goods!

I purchased these small Kraft Paper Bags from Michael's...they come in a pack of 16. The main image was inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with these Copic Markers ~ B000, B00, C1, C3, G85, E25, Y00, YR01 and R00, R14, R27.  Next I embellished it with a punched border on top, some Celery Striped Jute Ribbon, some Gold Metallic String, a Button and a sparkly Star Button and the Prima Smoky Crystals on the bottom.

Don't forget to stop by the C4C Blog for all the awesome ideas the rest of the team had and the details on how you can play along!!!

As always thank you so much for stopping by.....enjoy your weekend!
