Poppies Blooming Card

   For my birthday, I go a set of Spectrum Noir markers.  I may or may not have been drooling over for the last two years. I soon went out on a search to find the perfect coloring stamps. In this upcoming card I used one super pretty stamp and a CAS(E) sketch #119.  

   Once I started coloring this stamp image the design of this card went a little off the sketch. Instead,  of just the cute little icon on the side mine went across. 

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio and American Crafts), markers (Spectrum Noir and Faber-Castell), stain (Ranger), stamps (Studio Calico kit and Stampin' Up!), ink (Memento), pen (Project Life) and punches (EK Success) 

   Even with just a monochromatic card like this I was still able to make an envelope seal to match. To make the punch flower pop on it I just outlined it with a pen. Don't look to close at my pen stitching, I wasn;t wearing my contacts so I was only doing it with one eye.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park), stickers (American Crafts), doily (Sunny Side Bakery), mist (Tattered Angels) and electronic die cutter, software and cartridge (Provo Craft)

   After I created this page I only had a small pile of scraps from the "Time & Seasons" collection so I set out to eliminate that package from my stash. I am happy to say I got three cards and matching envelope seals from the scraps.

A Fusion Card

   Last month, while looking at Amy Tsuruta's blog I came across a great card challenge site, Fusion Card Challenge, that she is a part of their team. I played last month but never posted it in time for the challenge but this month I am making sure that doesn't happen again. When I saw the challenge I thought this was totally me. I am in love with the colors of the room and the sketch was a little different than my usual design. 

   I ended up doing the fusion challenge, that means I used the room (color) and sketch. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Crate Paper and Close to my Heart), doily (Doodlebug), sequins (Hazel & Ruby), washi tape (We R Memory Keepers), punches (EK Success), stamp (EK Success), ink (Memento), sticker (Echo Park).
