THT046 Friendship Inspired

This is my card for this week's Treehouse Thursday Challenge, which is an inspiration challenge. Click on the link to view the inspiration piece.

There is no stamping on this card, since the sentiment is from a digital set being released today! I used punches to make the sprigs and the flowers, and nestibilities for the circles and scallop.

Stamps: Simply Heartfelt (Treehouse Stamps)
Cardstock: White
Ink: None
Accessories: DP, Ribbon, Printer, Punches, Big Shot, Nestibilities, Rhinestone Stickers, Buttons, Dimensionals

THT045 Paper Tole - WOW

I made this card for this week's Treehouse Thursday Challenge to use the paper tole technique. I don't think I've ever used this technique to this extent before. This card has a total of 4 layers for the sunflowers. I spent more time making this card than any other card I've ever made, but I LOVE the way it turned out. I used the cheaper 120# watercolor paper, and the prismacolor pencils blended amazingly well on it.

Supplies:

Stamps: Ashley's Doodles, Sunflower Bouquet (Treehouse Stamps)
Ink: None
Cardstock: Watercolor Paper, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, White
Accessories: Big Shot, Embossing Folder, Ribbon, Button, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol

THT044 Bye Bye Amethyst & Banana!

This week's Treehouse Thursday challenge is to make a card using lavender and yellow. Well, what a perfect opportunity to pay tribute to two of the Stampin' Up! colors that are retiring, Almost Amethyst and Barely Banana. I used this digital stamp from the set "Hello Friend," and colored it with markers.

Supplies:

Stamps: Hello Friend (Treehouse Stamps)
Ink: None
Cardstock: White, Barely Banana, Almost Amethyst
Accessories: Markers, Big Shot, Embossing Folder, Printer, Dazzling Diamonds, Ribbon, Buttons, Dimensionals

Hey Tweetie!

I made this card for both the Treehouse Thursday Challenge this week, which is a sketch, and for today's Way's to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers to make a celebration card. Well, although there isn't a sentiment on this card...the colors just SCREAM celebration! And they are colors I don't normally use - just a little too funky for my usual style! I also don't normally make square cards, this is a 5 X 5 card!

This cute "Little Tweetie" digital stamp set will be released in early April by Treehouse Stamps!

Stamps: Little Tweetie (Treehouse Stamps)
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, White, Pumpkin Pie, DP

THT039 Sea Friends SNEAK PEEK!

This is a sneak peek of a new digital stamp set that will be released next week by Treehouse Stamps. I couldn't wait to make something with this CUTE crab!

I got my cast off a couple of weeks ago, but then came pretty close to falling flat this morning when I slipped on the wet concrete. I managed to catch myself with my right hand..... Well, I have to say that my wrist is pretty sore again, but I still colored this cute image and made it into a card!

Stamps: Sea Friends (Treehouse Stamps)
Cardstock: White, Bordering Blue, DP
