Inspired by you card...

The challenge over at Inspired By... for this week involved looking through the list of Inspired by winners for 2021 and picking one.    I was inspired by Steph Perry's card #816 at  Perry Papercrafts..   She created a beautiful bouquet slimline card .   For the centerpiece on my card I used a digital swag by Glaciellie Designs is from the Faith Bundle.    I loved the light and airy bouquet that Stef created and I'm really into slimline cards these days.    I created the card base from digital paper from the Shabby Chic Garden collection I bought from a designer on Etsy.   It seems that I'm really into wood and lace combos as well.  For the base I used Gray Granite and for coloring I used Stampin Up Water Color Pencils, Daffodil, Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie.  I topped it off with Rich Razzleberry sequins that are in the current yearly catalog.  I'm excited to get back to making cards...this is my first one of the New Year.   Thanks for dropping in and stay safe and healthy~ Kathy

Thanksgiving Leaves Card...

Here is my second card for Inspired by... "Hello Friend,  fall look and colors.    I used the Card Concept colors, it looked like Navy in the picture to me,  I even put in a brand  new color cartridge and printed it out.    The Playful Pnguin blue stripe worked and I tied  it with a mint maccaron cord and used the  colors the cagun and yellow - pumpkin pie to give my leaves a burnished look.   The image and Sentiment are from Graciellie Designs.   I used colored pencils, for this small an image it just works better than water color pencils.   I really liked the challenges and I think this is a very nice card.   Simple and clean!       Thanks for stopping in,   Kathy

 

Merry Christmas Wreath card

I've started playing over at Inspired By...Challenge Blog, another way for me to take care of the gray matter I have left in my brain!    I  was inspired by the picture to do a wreath and use beautiful DSP Paper.  The wreath image and sentiment are both digital from Gaciellie Designs and I'm learning to work with digi's without wasting, but it is challenging.    I will have the fall card posted in a little while, I decided to make all the challenges and just see how it turns out.    Thanks for stopping in,          Kathy

 

Poinsettia Wreath Christmas Card...

 

Glacielle Design had an end of month sale and I couldn't resist the digital wreath stamp set, if you are interested the sale is on for a few days.  I did use a sentiment from one of the SU Paper Pumpkin kits and I turned the Just Add Ink sketch sideways, I was inspired by Tis the Season for Friends at Inspired By... I love the color of the poinsettia.   For those of you who visit from time to time you may caught on that I have a love affair with Poinsettias (perhaps because my mom loved them.)    Thanks for stopping by and have a safe week,   Kathy

 

Playful Penguins family Christmas card...

Making a slimline card and making a card with Playful penguins for the Inspired By challenge were two things on my card to do list.   When I saw the Freshly Made Sketch today I realized I could combine the slimline with the DSP and create a sweet Christmas card.    The sentiment is a retired CTMH but all the rest is current SU.    I fussy cut the critters, ran them through the xyron and then placed them on the green trees background then cut that with a sizzix square die and ran them back through the xyron.   I call it their family Christmas Card.   I'm sure their mom is so proud of all her fellers!           Thanks for stopping by,   Kathy
