INSPIRED BY - #IB244 AND TIC TAC TOE - #TTTC215 GET WELL SOON

Happy Thursday!

Today, I have a double challenge card for you....







Yes, I'm being a rebel and I'm posting the TTTC board a bit earlier. I only had time to make one card as we are heading out of town.

For the IB Challenge I was inspired by the flowers, the pink, black and white colors. For the TTTC board I chose the top left diagonal row down - Nature, Encouragement and Free.

My card is featuring The GreeteryPrint Shop: Spring Mix Stamp and Stencil Set along with the matching dies. The sentiment is from The Greetery's newest June release called Little Labels Stamp and Cut Combo. The background was ink blended and splashed with some blue ink. At last I added the Mini Silver Pearls.

Now it's your turn....wishing you a fabulous crafty day and don't forget to check out both challenge blogs! ~SL~

INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB243 DONUTS

Happy Summer!

To make your Summer a bit sweeter...we have a delicious Inspired By Challenge for you...



Here is the new delicious #IB243 - Donuts inspiration photo and a sketch....



 My inspiration came from the donuts, colors and sketch.

I dug out my super cute Donuts Set from The Stamp Market. I simply punched the donuts out and colored them with various Copic Markers and added them to the card base. At last I heat embossed the sentiment and placed them on the middle row of the donuts...voila!

INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB241 PILLOWS

Happy Thursday!

Hope you are enjoying your summer so far? Ours is finally slowing down....between High School and College graduations, Miriam officially attending Texas A&M in the Fall and our 29th Wedding Anniversary I'm partied out! I'm having some "ME" time now!

Today, I'm showing off a card for this weeks Inspired By Challenge - #IB241 Pillows...



Here is the #IB241 inspiration photo along with a sketch for you to play with as well....

                                

                               

My card was inspired by the front doted pillow pattern, and the fun bright colors.

I grabbed the fun Painted Dots Turnabout Set from Concord & 9th. I tried to match up the colors the best I could using Ink Spots from different Stamp Companies. For the sentiment in the center I chose the cute little Cake Pops Set from The Greetery, along with the matching Banner Die. At last I've added some scored lines on top and bottom of the main CS.

Please stop at the INSPIRED BY BLOG for all the details and of course the rest of the teams creations.

Wishing you a fabulous, sunny day! Hope you have time to join us!?! ~SL~
