Stamp Act

Roses for you....

Hello!

Since my mojo has been in hibernation, I decided to clean out my old stamps and accessories that I have not used in years and will be listing them for sale.  Believe me, they will be priced to sell!  I will have them posted in the next day or so!    And because I can't finish one thing at a time, while I was getting the stamps/stamp sets together, I got sidetracked and made a card!!! LOLOL!!!  I am thinking that if I was a young child today, I would be diagnosed with A.D.D.!!! LOLOLOL!!! 

My card today is based on 2 SCS challenges ~ CAS106 {sketch inspiration} and today's color challenge {CC310 Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and Pacific Point}. 

I have had a package of Pacific Point CS for a while and can you believe it hasn't been opened?!?!  That's sad huh?  I guess it isn't my go to color!!! LOLOL!!!  I struggled at first as to where to put that color and in the end, I ended up liking the result!!!

The base of this card is Kraft and is 4 1/4" square.  I did sponge all edges lightly with Crumb Cake ink to kind of tone down the colors.  The next mat up is Pacific Point, So Saffron, True Black and then the image piece is Kraft.  The image piece was cut using one of my square Nesties and while the die was still on, I stamped the musical note background stamp from Prima, using Crumb Cake ink.  I then sponged inside the frame with Crumb Cake.  Then, with the die still on, I stamped the beautiful English Rose image from Serendipity Stamps using Black Memento ink.  I colored the leaves directly on the Kraft using my Copic Markers {G07, G14} to get as close as possible to the Wild Wasabi color.  I did piece the leaves that are hanging outside the box.  I also pieced the 3 roses by stamping them on Select White CS using Black Memento ink and then coloring with my Copics {Y21, Y23 and Y32}.  I was really excited about how perfect the flowers matched the Saffron CS.  I then added the Thanks sentiment {from Verve's Amazing Wishes set} by stamping it on Kraft CS using Pacific Point ink and then cutting it out, and adding a clear SU! heart with matching blue floss.

Here is a closer look ~

OK, back to cleaning for me!  Thank you so much for stopping by and be sure to check back tomorrow with our first Serendipity Stamps challenge of the year!

Fun in the Sun Scrapbook page.....

I frequent the Prima blog and have wanted to do a page based on their BAP (Build a Page) sketches for quite some time so finally, I was able to do it!!!  I am SO far behind on my scrapbooking so it was nice to actually get a page done for my daughter at Myrtle Beach back 4 years ago!!  LOL!!!

Here are the details on the Prima  blog regarding this months BAP.  Here is my page ~

The the Kraft base is from SU! and the Dark Chocolate CS is from PTI.  The decorative papers are from Prima and can be found HERE.  The Pearls are the new ones you can find HERE and the rhinestones are from an old Prima Collection.  The flowers are from 3 different collections ~ HERE, HERE and HERE!

 

The butterflies were made from using a Heidi Swapp mask and then sponging PTI Snow White ink.  I then added rhinestones and pearls to tie in with the others.

The butterfly was cut out from another Prima paper design and then I added some fruit punch Stickles and adhered it using a glue dot.

I hope your day is Happy!!!  See you tomorrow!
