Let's Do Drinks

I had some fun last night putting some cards together for 2 challenges.  I used the colors from the Play Date Cafe Challenge:

 

And the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You:

  

Here is my card:

 

I just loved these colors and had to play along. 

  

I bought a container of plain Prima flowers at Hobby Lobby, and they are great for stamping any pattern and color I want. 

  

And I thought this stamp was so cute to invite someone out.

Thanks for Looking!

On to my cards...

For this first card, I decided to try a resist technique that Nichole Heady demo'd on her blog last week.  I can't decide if I like this card or not. 

 

I stamped the background words in chocolate ink, and then I stamped the flowers and leaves with clear in and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then I inked around the flowers and leaves with raspberry and red ink.  

I really like this next card...  Just a fun little valentine.

  

The background dots are a Stampin Up stamp stamped in pink and heat embossed with some glittery embossing powder.

 

I had the chipboard brackets in a stash - just added some pink stickles.  And I cut the letter "U" with a sizzix die, and added some little gems.  The felt heart was also in my stash.

I used the Nestabilities Labels One dies and sewed some ribbon ruffle at the bottom.

Please head over to the other Design Team members blogs - they had some beautiful creations to share with you:

You're my Cherry on Top

Since I am snowed in today I was able to find some time to participate in the Mojo Monday challenge.  Here is the sketch for the challenge:

 

 And here is my card:

 

I used the Duck Egg Blue color from Pink Petticoat Lolas Boudoir Collection.  The cupcake and sentiment are from the Pink Petticoat With Heart set.  I colored the image with my computer program Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2.  

I finished off with a bow and heart shaped button.

Resist Technique

Nichole Heady from Papertrey Ink is having a contest over at her blog Capture the Moment.  I am a total sucker for ANYTHING Papertrey Ink, so I had to play along!  The challenge is to use a Resist Technique which Nichole demonstrates in a video.

Here is my submission:

First I stamped the word background in PTI Dark Chocolate.  Then I stamped a leaf stamp in clear ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Finally I inked around the leaf pattern with PTI Ocean Tides ink.  I sewed around the edge and added some little gems for a final detail.

 

 

Thanks for Looking!
