Creative Sketches Challenge-CS52C

Welcome to this Thursday's Creative Sketch Challenge! The challenge this week was to make a card using these colors: Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Basic Black and Crumb Cake.  As shown by the sketch below:

Aren't they just Yummy colors. I just love fall. Here is my card.

I used Soft Seude for my base card, Crumb Cake as my next layer and then I made a tree out of Basic Black, leaves out of Cajun Craze and for a little fun added a Rhinestone Owl. My granddaughters birthday is right before Holloween and she gets lots of spooky, fun cards. I think she will like this one. I also made her a girly card out of our new In color Wisteria Wonder. I will post that one later.

Ink Pad                              Soft Suede
Punches                             3 step Owl and little leaves(retired)and Decorative Label

Creative Sketched-CS29T Challenge

This week on Creative-Sketches you have a Sketch and Technique challenge which means using

the above sketch and chalks/pastels .   If you would like to join in  on the fun go to:

 http://creative-sketches.com and submit your card by clicking on linky tools.  Now onto my card:

One of my favorite stamp sets is Element of Style, I love the Vintage look and feel it gives to cards. So when I challenge was to use Chalks it was a no brainier which stamp set I chose. 

Supply List:

Card Stock                    Old Olive, Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla

Stamp pads                   Crumb Cake, Old Olive

Stamp sets                     Element of Style,Sincere Salutations

Embossing Folder         Square Lattice

Ribbons                        Pretty in Pink satin, and Victorian lace

Punch                            Decorative Label

Chalks                           Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive

Aqua Painter

Basic Pearls

I loved the softness the chalks and pearls brought to this card.  I stamped the Elements of Style rose on the Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla card stock and stamped  with Crumb Cake ink. Then used my aqua painter to color in the roses and leaves to intense the color. Once dried I ran both pieces thru the embossing folder for texture. A little ribbon and pearls for added interest.  I decide to put a birthday salutation on this one since I have a lot of birthdays coming up in our family.
