Make A Wish

{Please click here for my PaperCutz Star Spangled Blop Hop post}

I'm back with another card for a few challenges!

I have grown to love silhouette images, they make such a striking impact on a card. My favorites are from Paper Makeup Stamps, this image and sentiment are from the Dandy Wishes set which I won in their summer blog hop last month. I heat embossed both the image and sentiment with Colorbox ink, love the result! I tried it in white...not so good lol. I need to buy Colorbox ink in white. While I was cleaning this week I found my old chalks and chalked the image with Pebbles Ink pearlescent chalk.  

I used the current sketch challenge at Taylored Expressions

and will enter my card in the following challenges:

Simply Create #47 - Silhouettes

Sentimental Sundays #62 - Anything Goes with a sentiment

TFL!

Sentimental Sundays #23

sssshhhh...I'm not really here, I'm resting like I'm supposed to be!

When I saw THIS card by Danni earlier this week, I knew I had to get this digi and use it for this week's Sentimental Sundays challenge which is Autumn or Fall. I saw Ann's card the other day and was inspired to use my new Basic Grey Pyrus paper. I'm a Basic Grey junkie lol and bought quite a few things from the Pyrus collection. I used some of the ribbon doilies and Pops on this card. The sentiment is from the Amy R Autumn Sentiments set.

Okay, now I'm really going back to bed. Luckily I can take my laptop with me and watch this week's General Hospital episodes!

Sentimental Sundays meets Sketchy Thursdays!

TGIF!!! It's been a very long week here, so happy the weekend has finally arrived and so has the nice weather! We actually had to use the heat a few times this week, thought we were done with that a few weeks ago!

Anyways, the reason you are here...I made this card last night for two challenges, a new one called Sentimental Sundays. Great challenge that reminds you to put a sentiment on your card front, I don't always do that and need to remember to, after all it's one of the reasons I'm always buying sentiment stamps LOL! Challenge #1 is call Blooming Gorgeous and needs to include a flower and sentiment. Both my image and sentiment are from the same Sweet 'N Sassy Digi set called Fluttering By, it's so pretty!


The layout is the new sketch from Sketchy Thursdays, perfect for the image I was using!

Stamps: Fluttering By ~ Sweet 'N Sassy Digi Stamps
