SugarPea Designs- Challenge #31

Hello and welcome to our monthly Mix It Up challenge for SugarPea Designs! 

Today I will be showcasing a card using a mixture of both the sketch and inspiration photo.

As you can see from the photo below, I used the sketch but I also took inspiration from the flowers and the color yellow.

I colored using Copic Markers

Y00,Y02,Y11,Y04,Y06,Y13

Stamp Set Used: Watts Up

Sugar Cuts: Starburst Cover Plate

Here is the Mix it Up Challenge!

To play along, make a project using just the inspiration, or just the sketch or Mix it Up and use both! It is totally up to you!

You have until June 5th to enter any of the May challenges.
Thank you all for stopping by, have a great Wednesday!

The Greeting Farm- Coffee Shop & Sweets

Hello everyone, Happy Thursday! I'm up over at, The Greeting Farm blog with a cute little coffee themed card. I know a bunch of you have already received your may release orders and have been having fun inking them up. I just love this months release and decided to feature the new, "Need Coffee" stamp set today.

Colored using Copic Markers.

I don't know what goes together better than, The Greeting Farm and Doodlebug.

I used the cute little sweet shop from the Odds & End cream & sugar pack. I think it goes perfectly with this adorable little Coffee Lover from the, Need Coffee set, don't you?

Pattern Paper: Spring Things-DoodleBug Designs

I added some misc. enamel dots and a cute little AC bow to my girly's hair to finish the card up.

Thank you all for stopping by. Have a FUN and SAFE, Memorial Weekend!

The Greeting Farm- May Release Previews- Best Day Ever

Welcome, Welcome!! Today is DAY 2 of Previews for our May Release, which will be available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store on Monday, May 15th. 

  Don’t forget, we will have a New Release Blog Hop on the 15th, where 1 lucky winner will receive all 3 sets! Today, we are featuring a super fun set called, "Best Day Ever".
Here is my card featuring the new stamps from today's set.

For today's card I decided to create a fun little carnival scene by merging and masking multiple images from today's set. I had so much fun creating this labor of love. I colored all my images using my Copic markers. I wanted the focus to be mainly on the scene itself, so I kept it simple and just matted my scene onto some black cardstock to make it really pop, then adhered to white card base.

What do you think? I can tell you this set will probably sell out pretty dang quick so be sure to be on your game come the 15th :)

The Greeting Farm- May Release, Baby Laundry

Welcome, Welcome!! Today is DAY 1of Previews for our May Release, which will be available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store on Monday, May 15th. 

  Don’t forget, we will have a New Release Blog Hop on the 15th, where 1 lucky winner will receive all 3 sets! Today, we are featuring the ultra adorable, "Baby Laundry" Stamp set.
Here is my card featuring the new stamps from today's set.

I decided to make a shaker card using this sweet new set. I used the coordinating dies to cut out a baby onesie directly on card panel. I then stamped all the adorable little pieces of girl clothing in a random pattern ontp card creating this monochromatic look. I filled with misc. sequins and beads and finished my card off by stamping sentiment using the same pink ink, onto banner and adding more sequins.
This is a fun and simple card that's quick and easy to whip up and can easily be made into a boys card or even a gender neutral card.  I think it would even be cute without being a shaker card for and even quicker method.
