PPA Sketch Challenge

Follow the link to Pals Paper Arts for this week's challenge:

I used Soft Sky as the card base with a vellum layer.

Using the By the Tide stamp set, the sea plant is stamped directly on the vellum with Pear Pizzazz, and the shell is stamped on Naturals White with Smokey Slate and fussy cut.

The driftwood was stamped with the  Hardwood stamp with Sahara Sand on Sahara Sand and then fussy cut into a driftwood shape.

The sentiment is from Another Thank You, punched with the Large Oval punch and slipped under the vellum.

Summer

This week The Paper Players have a theme challenge: 

Clean and Simple: Summer Treats.

Follow the link to play.

This is made with a Stampin' Up! stamp set called A Little Love (2004)

I stamped the flip-flops in SU Watermelon Wonder.

The DSP is from the Cherry on Top paper stack

I liked it so much I made it twice; one is Whisper White and the other is Pool Party.  What better color for a summer theme?  I hope you all are having some time this summer to kick off those flip-flops and relax!

Floral Wings

Pals Paper Arts has a color challenge this week.  

Follow the link to play.

 

I used the vase and flowers from the new hostess set, Floral Wings.
The brushstroke is from Work of Art.  The DSP is from the new Neutrals Paper Stack.  I popped the vase up on a dimensional and added pearls in the flowers.

Masculine Card

Here is a card for The Paper Players theme challenge

I used Stampin' Up!'s Guy Greetings and did a little bit of fussy cutting on the hats.   The inside reads "Happy Father's Day"  of course!

Saying Goodby to Strawberry Slush

There is a color challenge at Pals Paper Arts this week.  Here are the colors:

As you can see, one of the colors is the newly retired Strawberry Slush.  I thought I would try to use it for this challenge as it was one of my favorite SU colors.

I used the new Hostess Set called Best Thoughts.  I used watercolor paper and an aqua painter. The images were stamped in Stazon.  The sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts and is stamped in Soft Suede.
